[FEATURE] TYPO3 v12 & v13 support

[bh-teufels]

Are there any plans or even a timing regarding a version for TYPO3 v12?

[bh-teufels]

Is there any information or plans about this yet?

[MattiasNilsson]

@bh-teufels No but we are open for all contributions!

[bh-teufels]

did you startet already an have a version to build on?
i tried it with rector but run into a lot of issues
what would be the best way to contribute where it possible to get help for some issue im not able to solve

[MattiasNilsson]

@bh-teufels No we have not started anything. What is it that you need help with then?

@bh-teufels @MattiasNilsson did someone ever start working on a V12 compatible branch?

I have a working-tree where the EXT can be installed in V12 using PHP 8.3 and creation of records is working again. I've gone over the source using rector and some other AI-powered tools.

Now I am facing a big problem regarding the dynamic attributes and maybe someone here can help out:

• as in V12 it is not possible to alter TCA during bootstrapping (calls to the database are not possible, which of course prevents fetching the dynamic attributes)
• I've managed to workaround the problem using TYPO3\CMS\Core\Core\Event\BootCompletedEvent to manipulate the TCA successfully
• editing a product in the backend still fails because of something very silly in the TYPO3-BackendUtility: V12 tries to fetch labels for inline-records/group-items (https://github.com/TYPO3/typo3/blob/12.4/typo3/sysext/backend/Classes/Utility/BackendUtility.php#L1278) and this does end in an error. I think the problem is that there is no "real" TCA available and BackendUtility does $ctrl = $GLOBALS['TCA'][$table]['ctrl'] ?? []; ( see https://github.com/TYPO3/typo3/blob/12.4/typo3/sysext/backend/Classes/Utility/BackendUtility.php#L1286)
• I can temporarily fix the problem by editing the core-BackendUtility like this but of course I would like to have a clean solution without fumbling around in the Core:
  

in case someone is interested in collaborating on this update here is my forked repository or I can point out the problem with a running local instance in a call.

I found that this core-bugfix for 12.4.15 (getRecordIconAltText() in BackendUtility) is what breaks displaying a product-record in the backend:

@nabossha Did you get it working?

[nabossha]

Yes and No. ended up stripping out the guts and changing a lot of the basic-logic on the data-model which works for a very specific use-case.

[bh-teufels]

I wonder if further development of the extension is planned, including a TYPO3 v13 version, now that it is already available.

[bh-teufels]

Would it be possible to commission an update to TYPO3 12 and TYPO3 13?
Could I get a cost estimate and a timeframe for this?

[MattiasNilsson]

@bh-teufels It is around 50 hours to get it up and running for TYPO3 v12 and v13. Let me know how you want to proceed.

[bh-teufels]

Do you already have a timeline for this extension development?

What are the options to support or accelerate the development, for example through financial contributions?

Would it be possible for you to send me an offer and a proposed timeline for this?

Give me an email I can send the offer and timeline to. Then we can take it from there.
