Breaking: Site sets and static templates have been restructured 

Description 

The TypoScript of this extension was shipped twice: the static template read Configuration/TypoScript/, and the site set fgtclb/academic-persons-edit shipped its own constants.typoscript and setup.typoscript, each of them a single @import of that folder. The page TSconfig existed only as Configuration/TSconfig/page.tsconfig, reachable through the auto-included Configuration/page.tsconfig and through nothing else. It was not selectable on a page at all.

Both mechanisms now read one physical copy of every file, and both of them deliver the extension per component instead of as one block:

• Configuration/TypoScript/ProfileEditing/ holds the TypoScript of the Profiles: Profile Editing content element and is what the static template registers and what the set points its typoscript key at.
• Configuration/TSconfig/ProfileEditing/page.tsconfig holds its page TSconfig and is what the page field Page TSconfig offers and what the set points its pagets key at.
• Configuration/TypoScript/Full/ and Configuration/TSconfig/Full/page.tsconfig are the aggregates for installations that do not use site sets. On TYPO3 v12 that is every installation, because site sets arrived in TYPO3 v13.1.

The content element is now hidden by default. The always-included Configuration/page.tsconfig removes academicpersonsedit_profileediting from the selectable content element types, and the page TSconfig of the component adds it back. The element is therefore offered where it is wanted instead of on every page of every installation. The TCA registration itself did not move, so the frontend renders existing records exactly as before. Editing such a record in the backend needs care. Read the warning below before upgrading.

Impact 

A sys_template record that selected the old static template keeps its stored value. The folder of that value holds no TypoScript of its own any more. It imports the files of the component folder instead, so it delivers what All components delivers. The path is deprecated and will be removed in version 4.0, see Deprecation: The static template path of version 2.3.

A site package that imported Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript or Configuration/TypoScript/constants.typoscript by path keeps getting the configuration, deprecated in the same way. Every other shipped file it imported by path fails to resolve. @import of a missing file is silent, so this shows up as missing configuration rather than as an error message.

The Profiles: Profile Editing content element is no longer offered in the backend until the page TSconfig of the component is included, through the site set or through the page field Page TSconfig. On TYPO3 v12 the page field is the only one of the two that works, and that same file also carries the entry of the new content element wizard, which v12 builds from page TSconfig rather than from TCA.

The set fgtclb/academic-persons-edit keeps its name and keeps delivering everything, so a site configuration that depends on it needs no change.

Affected Installations 

Installations that select the static template of this extension in a sys_template record, that import one of the shipped files from an own site package, or that use the content element without including the page TSconfig of this extension.

Migration 

Replace the deprecated static template entry in the sys_template record:

Add the page TSconfig entry, which did not exist before, in the page record of the site root, tab Resources, field Page TSconfig: Academic Persons Edit: All components (academic_persons_edit), stored as EXT:academic_persons_edit/Configuration/TSconfig/Full/page.tsconfig. Without it the content element is not selectable any more, and existing records of it lose their CType when they are saved from the backend form.

Sites that use the site set instead need no migration. They must not use both mechanisms at once, see the Configuration chapter. That applies to TYPO3 v13 only. On TYPO3 v12 the entries above are required.

Adjust every @import in an own site package:

A site configuration on TYPO3 v13 may name the new component set instead of the aggregate:
