Project Utility Scripts

This project contains two primary Python scripts designed to assist with dependency management and TYPO3 upgrade planning.

1. Dependency Visualizer (`visualize_dependencies.py`)

This script analyzes your composer.json and composer.lock files to generate comprehensive dependency reports and diagrams. It is specifically optimized for TYPO3 projects with multiple local packages.

Features

Multi-Format Output: Generates DOT (Graphviz), SVG, PlantUML, and Markdown reports.

Purpose: check cert expiry and cert chain issues

Note: domains.txt needs emptyline at end of file

Example output:

059 days of validity left for https://www.google.com, chain fine (issued by GTS CA 1C3)
046 days of validity left for https://www.typo3.org, chain fine (issued by R3)
Next expiry in 46 days
everything fine

Docker provides download links in release note. They promised that

(we) will also include download links in release notes for future releases.

Note:

Vision: Grid as TCA type for TYPO3

Synopsis

This little gist is an attempt to describe my vision for a nested content / grid feature for TYPO3. It contains a description of the vision I have and relates this vision to the current blueprint and WIP which are available at https://wiki.typo3.org/Blueprints/StructuredContentContainers and https://review.typo3.org/#/c/41936/.

Versioning scheme

Stick to Semantic Versioning.

Releases

The official way of releasing TYPO3 extensions is to the TER, extensions existing solely as Git repositories are NOT properly made available to the community.

An open letter to the Neos development team

Dear members of the development team, CU a few days ago I commented the announcement, that Neos and Flow get rid of "TYPO3" as part of their names, as follows:

Removing "TYPO3" from Neos and Flow makes it easier to quietly abandon these products. \o/

Additionally to this tweet I had a small twitter conversation resulting in this tweet:

	composer create-project typo3/cms-base-distribution='^7.6.0' my-test-typo3 --no-interaction
	cd my-test-typo3/
	composer require helhum/typo3-console
	# This will only work with PHP < 7 as realurl need PHP 5.x
	composer require typo3-ter/introduction
	cp web/typo3conf/ext/typo3_console/Scripts/typo3cms .
	cp web/typo3conf/ext/bootstrap_package/Configuration/Apache/.htaccess web/
	chmod +x typo3cms
