.. include:: /Includes.rst.txt ================== Legacy Collections ================== :Extension key: legacy_collections :Package name: friendsoftypo3/legacy-collections :Version: |release| :Language: en :Author: TYPO3 Core Team & Contributors :License: This document is published under the `Creative Commons BY 4.0 `__ license. :Rendered: |today| ---- This extension provides TCA information and database tables for the generic "sys_collections" concept, which allows for statically select items into a collection. In addition, two API classes for fetching items from a collection are available as well: * `FriendsOfTYPO3\LegacyCollections\Collection\RecordCollectionRepository` * `FriendsOfTYPO3\LegacyCollections\Collection\StaticRecordCollection` Both classes previously resided in the PHP namespace `TYPO3\CMS\Core\Collection`. The functionality was part of the TYPO3 Core until TYPO3 v11.0, and moved into its own extension, receiving its own public repository. ---- **Table of Contents:** .. contents:: :backlinks: top :depth: 2 :local: Installation ============ The latest version can be installed via `TER`_ or via composer by running .. code-block:: bash composer require friendsoftypo3/legacy-collections in a TYPO3 v10.0+ installation. .. _TER: https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/legacy_collections Current state ============= The extension has been part of TYPO3 Core for a very long time but its API wasn't flexible enough to build a generic collection model. It may become more healthy if maintained as third party extension and has been extracted for this reason. Contribution ============ Feel free to submit any pull request, or add documentation, tests, as you please. We will publish a new version every once in a while, depending on the amount of changes and pull requests submitted.
