TYPO3 News

System requirements for TYPO3 version 12

Although there are still 15 months to go until the release of the next TYPO3 version 12, the developers have now published the requirements that the new version needs. Users and hosters can already prepare themselves now. PHP version 8.1 or 8.2 is required, and at least MySQL 8.0, MariaDB 10.3, PostgreSQL 10.0 or SQLite 3.8.3 are needed for the databases. Microsoft SQL Server is not supported.

TYPO3 versions 11.5.5 and 10.4.23 released

Two maintenance releases for TYPO3 were published on January 11. The versions 11.5.5 and 10.4.23 contain bug fixes. It is not necessary to update the database when using the new versions.

Improved code quality for TYPO3 extensions

The TYPO3 Quality Assurance Initiative has published its activity report for the 2nd half of 2021. The aim of the initiative is to further improve the code quality of extensions. A sample extension with best practices was published for this purpose.

News from the Documentation Team

The TYPO3 documentation is also constantly being improved. The Documentation Team has published a current report on this. The previous TYPO3 Wiki has been integrated into docs.typo3.org. Screenshots in the documentation can now also be automatically updated for new TYPO3 versions. A global search is now available for the entire TYPO3 core and extension documentation.

TYPO3 tips

How does the backend search actually work in TYPO3?

In this YouTube post, Stefan Frömken gives you an insight into how the TYPO3 search function works in the backend. In this video you will learn about the options for using the search, but also the technical background of how the search works in the TYPO3 code.

Migration from grid elements to containers

The Gridelements extension is very powerful for realizing multi-column content in TYPO3. For many applications, however, the range of functions is not required. An alternative is the Container extension, which can also be used to create multi-column content for the editor. Container is already available for TYPO3 version 11.5. In an article, Websailor (Christoph Schwob) describes how to migrate a website from Gridelements to the use of Container.

TYPO3 Gitlab CI/CD Auto Deployment

In this detailed blog post, Sanjay Chauhan describes a best-practice solution for automated deployment for TYPO3. It describes the use of Gitlab CI/CD, Deployer, Code Review, Docker/DDEV etc.

New functions in the TYPO3 page tree

In a blog post, Desirée Lochner from the agency b13 describes the new possibilities when working with the page tree in TYPO3 11.5. The work for the editor is much easier, especially for large page trees with many levels.

Tutorial: Create site package for TYPO3 11.5

In a new tutorial, Tom Warwick shows how to create a site package for a TYPO3 11.5 website. It is the first part of a new video series.

Download icon in TYPO3 11.5

Sometimes it's just a small icon that simplifies the editor's work: Benni Mack describes a new, useful feature in TYPO3 in another blog post from b13. It allows media files to be easily downloaded from the backend - previously a whole series of individual steps were required.
