Feature: Frontend profile edits synchronize translations
Description
The frontend editing flow of EXT: dispatches
\FGTCLB\ again. The
dispatch had been lost in the 2.x profile editing restructuring: since then the
event fired only when a profile was auto-created by
academic:, so a profile edited through the frontend plugins
was never synchronised into its translations, and the profile slug was not
regenerated either.
These actions dispatch the event once after the change is persisted: the
generic field update of the profile form, the skip_ toggle, the
visibility switch of the profile, the profile image upload, which is also a
replacement, the removal of the profile image, and the create, update, hide,
delete and sort actions of a document section and of the contacts of a
contract. The event always carries the persisted default language profile.
Child records resolve their owning profile through the contract, and an edit of
a profile fetched as translation overlay does not dispatch (synchronisation
runs from the default language record only). A removal that found no image
to remove changed nothing and announces nothing, and neither does a sort that
left every row in its place.
AfterProfileUpdateEvent lists what the profile
editing passes in.
Impact
With profile. configured, a frontend edit keeps the
translated profile records in sync again: missing translations are created and
existing ones updated through the record synchronisation of
EXT:, which routes every write through the TYPO3
Data. The profile slug is regenerated on every frontend edit as
well, since the slug listener reacts to the same event.
Installations that left profile. empty only regain the slug
regeneration, the synchronisation itself stays a no-op for them.
Affected Installations
Every installation using the frontend editing plugins of
EXT:. Profile auto-creation by
academic: dispatched the event before and still does.
Backend saves announce themselves since a later 3.0 change, see
Important: Translations follow backend saves and imports: a project DataHandler hook
that dispatches the event as well announces every backend save a second time
and has to be removed.
