[TYPO3-hci] standard content elements, page module

[Peter Luser]

Hi everybody,

what i'd like to have in 4.5:

- take out the standard content elements from the core system into an  
extension
why: if you have to modify the TCA array for some reasons, you have to  
take care when updating to a new TYPO3 version.
TYPO3 is such a great and flexible system - css styled content is an  
extension, languages have to be installed seperately as well - so why  
should the standard content elements be "hardcoded"?


- page module/advanced features of standard page module
i'm not using TV at all - i like the simple way of storing data in a  
database-table (tt_content).
what i'm missing is the possibility to nest content elements (like in TV).
i'm thinking of developing that extended page module - but it'd be great  
to know how many ppl use TV compared to the old fashioned way.

maybe it's possible to put a poll on typo3.org to find that out?

another thougt is, to define the looking of the BE page module via a HTML  
template giving you the possibility to place the columns where you want  
instead of displaying the columns next to each other. (could be also  
connected with the page template selector module)
with this functionality you could make the BE page module to look similar  
to the FE-view - which makes it easier for the editor to create new  
content elements at the right place/column.

of course: drag and drop functionality within the page module should be a  
feature as well :)

looking forward to receiving your comments on these ideas!
ciao,
