Adds the legacy form extension from TYPO3 CMS 7 LTS to TYPO3 CMS 8 LTS.
The functionality was part of TYPO3, until TYPO3 CMS 7 LTS, and moved into its own extension, receiving its own public repository.
The new form extension deliverd with TYPO3 CMS 8 LTS substitutes this extension and form_legacy is available to achieve backwards compatibility when upgrading instances from core version 7 to 8.
The latest version can be installed via TER (http://typo3.org) or via composer by adding ''composer require friendsoftypo3/form-legacy'' in a TYPO3 CMS 8 installation.
The latest version here reflects a feature-complete state. All newly based features for form elements, are now part of the new approach in TYPO3 implemented directly.
Feel free to submit any pull request, or add documentation, tests, as you please. We will publish a new version every once in a while, depending on the amount of changes and pull requests submitted.
The extension is published under GPL v2+, all included third-party libraries are published under their respective licenses.
Over 100 contributors have been working on this area while this functionality was part of the TYPO3 Core. This package is now maintained by a loose group of TYPO3 enthusiasts inside the TYPO3 Community. Feel free to contact Benni Mack ([email protected]) for any questions regarding "form_legacy".
