Upgrading from seminars 4.x to 4.3 and 5.0

New configuration values

If you would like to use the informal salutation mode in the frontend, set plugin.tx_seminars.settings.salutation = informal in the TypoScript constants (or conveniently in the constants editor).

If you are using a different currency than Euro (or you would like to tweak the currency format), edit plugin.tx_seminars.settings.currency in the TypoScript constants (or conveniently in the constants editor).

Switching to the rewritten backend module

Starting with seminars 4.4, using the new backend module form is recommended. (The legacy backend module form will be removed in seminars 5.0.)

Edit your backend user or user group permissions, grant the users/groups permissions for the new backend module, and drop their permissions for the old backend module.

Switching to the rewritten registration form

Starting with seminars 4.3, using the new registration form is recommended. (The legacy registration form will be removed in seminars 5.0.)

  1. If you are using the "onetimeaccount" extension on the login page, switch the plugin type to "One-time FE account creator without autologin". (This step is optional, but recommended.)

  2. On the registration page, switch the seminars plugin to a general plugin and set the type to "Registration form for events". Configure it to your needs using the settings in the FlexForms.

  3. Delete the thank-you page that was be display after someone has registered for an event. (This is now part of the registration form plugin.)

Switching to the rewritten FE editor

Starting with seminars 4.2, using the new FE editor is recommended. (The legacy FE editor will be removed in seminars 5.0.)

  1. On the FE editor page, switch the seminars plugin to a general plugin and set the type to "Front-end editor for events". Configure it to your needs using the settings in the FlexForms.
