Introduction 

What does it do? 

Opinion adds a feedback dialog to the TYPO3 frontend and backend. Editors who notice a problem — a cropped image, a typo, a broken layout, an idea — describe it right where they see it. The extension attaches what the team needs to reproduce it, stores the feedback and sends it by email.

Features 

  • Two entry points: the entry "Feedback" in the frontend admin panel and a button in the backend toolbar. Both open the same dialog.
  • Message, category and severity: categories Bug, Content, Idea, Other; severities Low, Normal, High.
  • Screenshot of the current tab via the browser's screen capture (getDisplayMedia()), with preview, retake and remove.
  • Mark up the screenshot in a full-screen editor: rectangle, arrow and black out. Markings are burnt into the image in the browser.
  • Collected details about browser, server and the current page or backend module, each of which an administrator can switch off.
  • Stored first, delivered second: every submission is saved as a record; a failing mail transport never loses feedback.
  • Email delivery to configurable recipients, the sender as reply-to, the screenshot inline and attached.
  • Admin module "Feedback" with a list and a detail view.
  • Non-public screenshot storage outside the web root, readable for administrators only.
  • Retention: the console command opinion:cleanup deletes old feedback, also as a Scheduler task.

Requirements 

  • TYPO3 v14.3
  • PHP 8.4 or 8.5
  • HTTPS for screenshots: browsers allow screen capture in secure contexts only
  • A configured mail transport for the email delivery

Languages 

The user interface is available in English and German. Labels follow the language of the backend user.
