Installation
The extension has to be installed like any other TYPO3 CMS extension. As it is a base extension for the academic suite, it is usually installed automatically as a dependency, but it can also be required explicitly.
composer require 'fgtclb/academic-base':'^3'Tip
We recommend to pin academic extensions on minor level to mitigate
possible issues in projects in case composer update is used based
on the fact that projects commonly tends to override fluid templates
and changes for otherwise non-breaking changes are possible promoted
to be breaking in case template changes are not adopted why it has
been considered to mark template changes as breaking changes on
minor version updates. That means, we suggest to use for example
following command to ensure that we stay in the minor version range
but have the hightest patchlevel enforced for it and keep possible
bugfix releases for that minor version possible to install:
composer require 'fgtclb/academic-base':'~3.0.0@dev'- Switch to the module Admin Tools > Extensions.
- Switch to Get Extensions.
- Search for the extension key academic_base.
- Import the extension from the repository.
- Get the current version from TER by downloading the ZIP version. Alternatively, get the ZIP from the GitHub Releases page.
- Switch to the module Admin Tools > Extensions.
- Enable Upload Extension.
- Select or drag the extension ZIP archive and upload the file.
