[TYPO3-dev] Refactoring TCEforms

[Benjamin Mack]

Hey Andreas,

first: Awesome work. I've looked into the code, and yeah, at this point 
it's basically a copy & paste into separate classes and it was sooo 
important for a long time!

As it still uses the same features as the old one, I'd like to get this 
new basis in the core as fast as possible (which means we should fix the 
rest of the open issues, test the code, review it and after that get it 
in there), so people can work with the new features.

The problem for me is (as it was with the installer in 4.2): If it's 
somehow not in the main trunk, it's hard for a lot of people to test and 
report bugs to it.

Once we have it in, a lot more people can start working off this basis, 
e.g. I know that WEC is working on fe_editing (that was Masi's wish, 
right?), and I think we can then approach the other feature requests 
(make it possible that the code is usable in other modules as well -- 
recoding the JS part -- refactoring the HTML) more easily once we have 
this refactored code in the trunk.

Also, wasn't it Steffen who had a TER extension that detects all hooks 
and XLCASSES used in the extensions in the TER, and can compile a list 
for it? If it's a handful of extension we can tell the authors to update 
their extensions for 4.3 (basically similar to what we did with the skin 
authors for 4.2 :)) .

FYI: I might look into the JS part soon and make it OO, probably next week.

Thanks A LOT and keep up the good work!
