This extension provides TCA information and database tables for the generic “sys_collections” concept, which allows for statically select items into a collection.
In addition, two API classes for fetching items from a collection are available as well:
FriendsOfTYPO3\LegacyCollections\Collection\RecordCollectionRepositoryFriendsOfTYPO3\LegacyCollections\Collection\StaticRecordCollection
Both classes previously resided in the PHP namespace TYPO3\CMS\Core\Collection.
The functionality was part of the TYPO3 Core until TYPO3 v11.0, and moved into its own extension, receiving its own public repository.

Installation¶
The latest version can be installed via TER or via composer by running
composer require friendsoftypo3/legacy-collections
in a TYPO3 v10.0+ installation.
Current state¶
The extension has been part of TYPO3 Core for a very long time but its API wasn’t flexible enough to build a generic collection model. It may become more healthy if maintained as third party extension and has been extracted for this reason.
