TYPO3 Newsletter - April 2021

The aim of the TYPO3 International Mentorship Program is to expand the reach of TYPO3 CMS, to grow the community and market. The coordinating committee conducted a successful pilot program in 2020, supporting young web developers from five countries to make their first steps into the TYPO3 world.

Patrick Gaumond was elected to the Board with three reelected veterans. Daniel Fau and Edward Lenssen are joining veteran Ingo Schmitt in the Business Control Committee. Congratulations!

The version 10.4.15 of the TYPO3 Enterprise Content Management System has just been released.

Silver, Gold, and Platinum members of the TYPO3 Association now receive credits and a free business account at SkillDisplay.eu to manage, track and verify internal skills and optimize preparation for certifications.

This year, a special interest group was formed to update screenshots in the official TYPO3 documentation. Updating screenshots manually is tedious and boring. This article explains the really cool automatic solution we have devised, and we're looking for people to help us make it even better.

The Documentation Team conducts a sweeping week every month, where we try to touch, address and close issues and PRs.

At the start of 2021, the TYPO3 Documentation Team initiated the concept of a "Sweeping Week". This is based on the idea of Kehrwoche where people take turns to ensure the orderliness of common property.

It is clear why we should use and deliver the WebP image format developed by Google a few years ago: it offers considerably smaller data volumes for images compared to jpg. A look at Google's WebP Gallery is also convincing.
Even if not everyone is using a WebP-capable browser yet, the number is increasing with every update. It's time to address the issue and make use of this performance advantage.

Embedding forms into a website is a basic requirement when selecting a content management system (CMS) today. Requirements for working with forms can range from simple to complex. Perhaps you want to add a contact form to the contact page or embed a form from a third-party application like Hubspot or Salesforce; or maybe you need to enable your marketers and editors to create custom forms on the spot within the CMS. Luckily for us, TYPO3 CMS comes with the system extension "form" that can handle almost any usage scenario you can think of. One of the main benefits being that editors can create forms with just a few clicks.

Welcome to the TYPO3 Interview Series - 19!

This week we have Karen Falkenberg with us this week for interesting TYPO3 Talk! Karen has been with TYPO3 since 2006 and is data Protection Officer of the TYPO3 Association and TYPO3 GmbH.

TYPO3 comes with a lot of great features out of the box, but sometimes you need to add functionality to your website--say, a news feed, a weather widget, or data pulled from spreadsheets. Because every TYPO3 website owner needs different features, you add them on as extensions-which keeps the default installation lean.

It's not really not a joke. You have the possibility to realize a so-called accordion effect with HTML only. The accordion effect means that a smaller part of the content is visible and when you click on it, there is more to see. In other words, a text box to expand.

PhpStorm offers the option of compiling Sass or SCSS files directly during editing via a file watcher. You don't even have to save the file to do this.

Don't ever miss an error in your command line with this trick!

Have you ever had the issue of skipping over Errors and Warnings in your terminal when directly looking at command outputs? This happened to me recently.

After seeking a way to avoid this in the future, I decided that a simple text highlighting would suffice. As it turns out, iTerm2 has several features that are specifically designed for such scenarios.

Today I came across a PR in the MDN web compatibility data GitHub repository. The open source project holds all the browser support information for MDN and partially caniuse.com. Watching the project is perfect for discovering new browser features and browser support changes (that's how I find out about all this stuff).

The PR #9763 updates the support and compatibility information for the ::file-selector-button pseudo element.

I was not aware that this pseudo-element even exists! The element enables developers to style the "browse" button of file select input elements.

Let's have a look at the pseudo-element.

In HTML you have some elements that help you to mark up your text.
