README

Migrate plugins from cal to calendarize.

!!! IMPORTANT: The cal events and category relations are already handled in the calendarize upgrade wizard. This extension handles some things which are not handled by the wizard of calendarize, such as plugin migration.

!!! WARNING: This is a first shot of migrating plugins, it greatly simplifies the migration and does not consider all configuration options. It is not possible to undo the plugin migrations. Use at your own risk. Test before using in production. Make backups.

TIP: There is a backend module "cal2calendarize" which can be used to list and visualize the migrated plugins with problems AFTER the migration. Currently, only a few problems are listed such as missing detailPid and missing storagePid. Look at the extension configuration for options.

Known problems

  • Only flexform (and tt_content.pages and recursive) is considered, not the TypoScript in the flexform and TypoScript.
  • not possible to fully map the views (switchableControllerActions)
  • cal has more category modes, calendarize has only use categories or no categories
  • not all configuration is considered and migrated
  • in cal, it is possible to select a "calendar". This is ignored.
  • in cal, the categories can be selected in the FlexFrom and in the tab "Categories". For migrating, we ignore the categories set in the tab. We only consider the categories selected in the flexform.

Usage

To run console command, use for installations setup without Composer:

php typo3/sysext/core/bin/typo3

or with Composer:

php vendor/bin/typo3

In general, the usage is:

php vendor/bin/typo3 cal2calendarize:migrateCalPlugins [options] [uid]

The options and the uid argument are optional.

Show help:

php vendor/bin/typo3 cal2calendarize:migrateCalPlugins -h

Dry-run: show what would be migrated:

php vendor/bin/typo3 cal2calendarize:migrateCalPlugins --dry-run

Migrate all (with increased verbosity):

php vendor/bin/typo3 cal2calendarize:migrateCalPlugins -vvv

Suppress the confirmation (do not ask for confirmation):

php vendor/bin/typo3 cal2calendarize:migrateCalPlugins -n

Migrate all, verbose, without confirmation (with all-actions, description see below):

php vendor/bin/typo3 cal2calendarize:migrateCalPlugins -v -n --all-actions

Migrate only one record in tt_content with uid=13221 (e.g. for testing):

php vendor/bin/typo3 cal2calendarize:migrateCalPlugins 13221

Command options

`--all-actions`:

This will try to migrate all existing Controller action to a corresponding Controller action in calendarize, not just the Controller action combinations defined in calendarize. The result is that more action may be activated, but you will see a warning when editing the plugin and you should manually fix this and convert it to existing controller actions. This is a fast and sloppy solution, which might result in less problems directly after migrating, but more problems in the long run.

Mapping

We do not use full name of the configuration settings here.

  • TS: TypoScript
  • flex: Flexform
cal calendarize Mapping
flex: allowedViews flex: switchableControllerActions incomplete, see below
tt_content.pages flex: persistence.storagePid 100%,
TS constants: pidList flex: persistence.storagePid constant not used
flex: eventViewPid flex: detailPid 100%
flex: listViewPid flex: listPid 100%
flex: listViewPid flex: listPid 100%
flex: yearViewPid flex: yearPid 100%
flex: monthViewPid flex: monthPid 100%
flex: weekViewPid flex: weekPid 100%
flex: dayViewPid flex: dayPid 100%
flex:usePageBrowser flex: hidePagination flex yes, TS no
flex:categoryMode no category mode incomplete, see below
flex:categorySelection insert categories into sys_category_record_mm 100%

Mapping of allowedViews

In cal, it is possible to combine any of the allowed views. In calendarize, we have a defined set of switchable controller actions (for example "list", "detail", "list+detail", but not "month+detail").

We get exact matches for list, detail and list+detail. For the year, month, etc. there is no combined view with detail. It is recommended to create a separate page for the detail view.

We try to map as best as possible, see source code. See also option --all-actions.

Mapping of category modes

In cal, there are several category modes:

  • Category mode=0 (show all)
  • Category mode=1 (exact): exact match
  • Category mode=2 (none): show all events which DON't contain one of the selected categories
  • Category mode=3 (any): show all events with at least ONE of the selected categories
  • Category mode=4 (minimum): show only events which contain (at least) all the selected categories in the plugin.

https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/cal/stable/_sources/ConfigureThePlugin/FiltersTab/Index.rst.txt

We cannot exactly map this to calendarize: In calendarize, there is only one category mode.

Fairly well mapped can be modes 0 and 3. For the other modes, we use the mode that fits best - either we use the existing categories or we don't.

cal calendarize Mapping
mode=0 do not use categories 100%
mode=1 same as 3 no exact mapping
mode=2 same as 0 very wrong
mode=3 just use the categories 100%
mode=4 same as 3 no exact mapping

Mapping of categories

The categories in cal can be defined in the flexform and in the tab "categories". We only consider the flexform. But already existing category relations will remain.

The behaviour of the categories may be quite different from the behaviour in cal because of the (incomplete) mapping of the categoryModes and these 2 ways of setting categories in cal.

Mapping of starttime / endtime

Starttime

  • cal: flexform: view.list.starttime
  • cal: TypoScript: plugin.tx_cal_controller.view.list.event.starttime
  • calendarize:
    • useRelativeDate=1: settings.overrideStartRelative
    • useRelativeDate=0: settings.overrideStartdate

This can be defined in cal in 3 places: in Flexform view.list.starttime in tab "TypoScript" in the Flexform or in TypoScript. Endtime

  • cal: flexform: view.list.endtime
  • cal: TypoScript: plugin.tx_cal_controller.view.list.event.endtime
  • calendarize:
    • useRelativeDate=1: settings.overrideEndRelative
    • useRelativeDate=0: settings.overrideEnddate

cal:

view.list.starttime=2011-04-01
settings.overrideStartdate = 00:00 1-4-2011

cal configuration

Can be in

  • flexform
  • TypoScript in flexform
  • TypoScript

We currently only consider flexform.

calendarize configuration

Can be in

  • flexform
  • configuration record
  • TypoScript
