[TYPO3 FE Edit] Enable frontend_editing with gridelements in TYPO3 CMS 8.7 #typo3 #typoscript

Readme.md

This work is in progress.

Tested with actual TYPO3 CMS 8.7.8, frontend_editing 1.2.4 and gridelements 8.0.0-dev (from git)

Add the files to an Extension of your choice (e.g. page template extension).

Speaking of frontend_editing 1.2.4 two files inside EXT:frontend_editing must be patched to achieve drag'n'drop out of gridelements.

# Add these constants somewhere

    settings {
        dropzoneDefaultParams {
            tx_gridelements_container = 0
            tx_gridelements_columns = 0
        }

Many thanks for this Gist. Made may day ;)

I created two Xclasses instead of manual patching and it worked for me as well.

If you want to create Xclasses, then you have to copy the FrontendEditingDropzoneModifier interface into the Xclass folder (with proper namespace then), too.

The Gist helped me a lot, but I found a small bug.

When adding content in a grid element under another element the tx_gridelements_columns value isn't set properly.

I added $params in DropzoneModifier.php after line 49.

Many thanks.

My patching solution for FrontendEditingPanel.php and ContentObjectRendererHook.php via composer:

{
    "autoload": {
        "exclude-from-classmap": [
          "web/typo3conf/ext/frontend_editing/Classes/EditingPanel/FrontendEditingPanel.php",
          "web/typo3conf/ext/frontend_editing/Classes/Hook/ContentObjectRendererHook.php"
        ],
        "files": [
          "./patches/frontend_editing/Classes/EditingPanel/FrontendEditingPanel.php",
          "./patches/frontend_editing/Classes/Hook/ContentObjectRendererHook.php"
        ],
        "psr-4": {
          "TYPO3\\CMS\\FrontendEditing\\EditingPanel\\": "./patches/frontend_editing/Classes/EditingPanel/",
          "TYPO3\\CMS\\FrontendEditing\\Hook\\": "./patches/frontend_editing/Classes/Hook/"
        }
    }
}

There is a small bug in your JavaScript. It's throwing errors if Frontend-Editing is disabled. You can fix it by adding the
following if-condition:

if (typeof F === undefined) {
        w.parent.F.dropGridCe = dropGridCe;
        w.parent.F.moveRecordInGrid = moveRecordInGrid;
        w.parent.F.dragCeInsideGridStart = dragCeInsideGridStart;
}
