Wanted Extensions

Extensions misc

Please read Code samples for extensions for extra pointers when programming extensions.

Testing extension

If you have any experience with a particular extension, please leave a note here.

Testing means taking note of what we have done. The testing notes are a kind of review of the extension. It's in between the FAQ, and the documentation. Of course, testing notes can be taken to complete the extension manual, if any. They are just here to be more simple than writing an extension manual from scratch.

Extension template

Here is the Template for extension manuals.
Use it like this:

  • Follow the link above
  • Edit the page
  • Copy all content (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C or similar)
  • Go back to this page and add a link to your new extension 
    * [[Ext/extension_key|Exension name]] - ''Short description of the extension''
  • Click this new link
  • Paste in the new template content

Now you have a skeleton for your extension manual. Please use the ChangeLog part for notes about the extension/manual progress and the "Discuss" wiki page for discussions about the extension. For more information about the workflow, see the Documentation workflow page.

You can find all templates at the TYPO3 templates repository.

GPL-incompatible extensions (to be removed from TER)

General information / motivation

The Terms of use for the TER are pretty straight forward: 

By registering an extension key you accept that all content uploaded to TER
(TYPO3 Extension Repository) matches these terms:

* Published under the GPL license or GPL compatible
* You hold the copyright of the code or do not infringe the rights  of others (meaning that work from others must be under GPL or GPL compatible already)

Any extensions found to break these terms will be removed without further
notice by the webmaster team.

For a list of GPL-compatible licenses, consult http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses

Why extensions are GPL 

Browse around, look into the categories, dive into the manuals and enjoy the beauty of an ordered bazaars unified efforts to bring the most
powerful collection  of CMS tools to you - for free under the GPL license!

> The official extension repository only consists of freely available extensions.

Solutions / Workarounds

Package manager.jpg
A discussion between members of the german mailing list showed that the participants agreed that as a matter of course only GPL compatible code should be available directly via TER. The catch is that some extensions require other free but GPL-incompatible components (notably some PEAR components). A legal workaround for that is to make the GPL-incompatible component available standalone and install it after the extension installation via some other means. The extension package_manager makes that for you and allows you to specifiy a different license. This way the user has to approve the License and knows exactly what's allowed and what not.

You can find a good example in the extension fdfx_yaml.

Maybe this functionality will be integrated into the extMgm later on.

Extensions which potentially violate the GPL
