This version of Formhandler is the first release compatible with TYPO3 7.6. Older TYPO3 versions are not supported!

This version includes compatibility changes, bug fixes and new features.

Important Changes

General

• Formhandler is now added as a content element type (CType) rather than a plugin (list_type). Please update your formhandler plugin records accordingly.
• The Backend module was completely rewritten using Extbase/Fluid.
• It is mandatory to include the static TypoScript.

Namespaces

Formhandler classes use namespaces now! In your TypoScript you can still use the old names, but it is recommended to switch to the new notation.

Example:

finishers.1.class = Tx_Formhandler_Finisher_Mail

finishers.1.class = Typoheads\Formhandler\Finisher\Mail

Example with short notation:

finishers.1.class = Finisher_Mail

finishers.1.class = Finisher\Mail

Renamed and removed components

• Validator_Default was renamed to Validator\DefaultValidator.
• DebuggerPrintToScreen was renamed to Debugger\PrintToScreen.
• Mailer_HtmlMail was removed!

Backend Module

The TypoScript configuration for the Backend Module changed significantly.

The TypoScript is now put in the "normal" TypoScript rather than the page TSconfig.

This is the new structure:

module.tx_formhandler {
  settings {
    pdf {
      class = Generator\TCPDF
      config {
        font = FreeSans
        fontSize = 12
        fontSizeHeader = 8
        fontSizeFooter = 8
        fileName = formhandler.pdf
      }
    }
    csv {
      class = Generator\CSV
      config {
        encoding = utf-8
        delimiter = ,
        enclosure = "
        fileName = formhandler.csv
      }
    }
  }
}

As you may have noticed in the code above there are some new options as well as some options that were removed:

• "outputFileName" changed to "fileName" (sections pdf and csv)
• New settings "font", "fontSize", "fontSizeHeader" and "fontSizeFooter" (section pdf)
• "enableShowAllButton" was removed.
