This extension adds some features from TYPO3 v7 that were changed in TYPO3 v8, but makes the upgrade process easier.
Table of Contents:
Functionality¶
This extension provides the following functionality:
Indexed Search¶
The old marker-based plugin for showing a search box and the search results has been moved from the TYPO3 Core to this extension. Since TYPO3 v6, there is an equivalent based on Extbase and Fluid in indexed_search provided by the core which is easier to template.
TypoScript and ViewHelpers for fluid_styled_content¶
The system extension fluid_styled_content shipped with TYPO3 v7 built some Menu viewhelpers to render menus. As this functionality was completely refactored the old viewhelpers and templates are still available in this extension, if still needed while migrating. Same goes for the TypoScript definition used in TYPO3 v7.
TypoScript for css_styled_content¶
The main TypoScript for the system extension css_styled_content has been refactored. Compatibility TypoScript for keeping the rendering the same as in TYPO3 v7 is provided by this extension.
Page Properties “Force scheme”¶
The functionality having a checkbox “Force scheme” (database field pages.url_scheme) on each page of an installation to force HTTP/HTTPS for a specific page has been moved to this extension. We recommend putting everything secure via HTTPS nowadays which can be done with other extensions or via a simple .htaccess change.
TypoScript option config.sys_language_softExclude¶
The new translation concept is more consistent and does not allow to modify TCA during runtime. If you have an edge-case to do so (although it should not be necessary anymore), you still have the option available.
TypoScript option config.beLoginLinkIPList¶
Rendering a login/logout link on a page based on a IP range is moved to this extension. A more appropriate way with more customization options to achieve the same, can be handled via third-party extensions.
Page Module “QuickEdit” functionality¶
Editing all records on a page at once via QuickEdit is now available in this extension.
Monitor Utility¶
If the frontend page reaches 90% of the memory available, it gets stored in the registry and an info is shown in the report module. The information to check that on each frontend request is moved to this extension. Profiling can be done more efficiently with other tools nowadays.
Installation¶
The latest version can be installed via TER or via composer by running
composer require friendsoftypo3/compatibility7
in a TYPO3 v8 installation.
Current state¶
The latest version here reflects a feature-complete state. All newly based features will be implemented in future versions of TYPO3 v8.
