  • 02:59:47 <jtml> hi... i'm trying to solve a issue which i have with vhs v:page.menu and localization for a few days.
  • 03:01:21 <jtml> i hope someone here could help me. my problem is that in a localized menu i get the class "sub" set even when when the localized menuitem has no subitems of this language
  • 03:02:30 <jtml> i posted about this the last few days. i'm really wondering what i do wrong in my configuration, or if its not a bug?
  • 04:22:20 <bjo3rn> jtml this is more of a bug I'd say. mind filing an issue on GitHub please?
  • 04:22:37 <bjo3rn> I'll take care of it then.
  • 05:44:34 <Guest|68735> Hi
  • 05:45:01 <Guest|68735> im upgrading typo3 4.2.12 to the latest version
  • 05:45:17 <Guest|68735> what is the best way to choose
  • 05:45:36 <Guest|68735> the next versions.. a stable version to get to 7.4.0
  • 05:46:17 <Guest|68735> ??
  • 05:47:26 <Guest|68735> hellloooo any one??
  • 06:00:32 <NamelessCoder> Guest|68735 wait for next TER of flux or use development branch of flux. Others work on 7.4
  • 06:24:47 <jtml> @bjo3rn ... yeah i thought also, its not even working with the autorendering
  • 06:24:51 <jtml> thank you
  • 07:51:37 <NicerDicer> Hey everybody.
  • 07:52:42 <NicerDicer> Im using the f:uri.action viewhelper to generate action urls. Its working perfectly but W3C validation fails because the viewhelper generates links with & characters which must me urlencoded to w3c checks. Is this an fluid issue or is the typolink function responsible for that?
  • 10:09:16 <Guest|68735> hello
  • 10:09:27 <Guest|68735> a quick question
  • 10:09:34 <Guest|68735> anyone???
  • 10:09:59 <NamelessCoder> Guest|68735 please check the rules. Ask your question; if someone knows they will answer
  • 10:11:36 <Woody> Hello there!
  • 10:11:40 <Guest|15428> Hi.. im planning to upgrade typo3 from 4.2.x to
  • 10:11:45 <Guest|15428> 7.4.0
  • 10:12:06 <Guest|15428> what is the best method., a stable version to choose from
  • 10:12:14 <NamelessCoder> Guest|15428 that's a *huge* jump. Likely to break in so many ways.
  • 10:12:16 <Woody> I have a short question to vhs LanguageMenuViewHelper - is there anyone who can help?
  • 10:12:30 <Guest|15428> yes
  • 10:12:36 <Guest|15428> any idea
  • 10:12:54 <Guest|15428> 4.2.1 to 4.7.20 to 6.1.2
  • 10:12:56 <NamelessCoder> 4.5 -> 6.2 -> 7.5 (or wait for LTS)
  • 10:13:07 <Guest|15428> yes
  • 10:13:10 <NamelessCoder> skip the intermediates
  • 10:13:28 <Guest|15428> you mean 4.5.0
  • 10:13:32 <Guest|15428> 6.2.0
  • 10:13:37 <Guest|15428> and 7.4.0
  • 10:14:01 <Guest|15428> cause i tried some of the extns from 4.5 to 6.2
  • 10:14:04 <NamelessCoder> I mean do each upgrade but skip the ones that aren't LTS. And either to most recent or wait for next LTS if you want a cleaner upgrade path
  • 10:14:34 <Woody> Unfortunately the LanguageMenuViewhelper ignores the setting "Hide default translation of page" and displays the Language-Link => after a click a TYPO3 error appears
  • 10:14:36 <NamelessCoder> expect multiple extensions to break and no longer be available for the new version
  • 10:15:06 <Guest|15428> is it required to compare database after upgrade
  • 10:15:12 <NamelessCoder> if you use many custom extensions it could be a huge task
  • 10:15:12 <Guest|15428> sure will do
  • 10:15:26 <NamelessCoder> I've had upgrades taking six months.
  • 10:15:37 <Guest|15428> regular one.. mm forum, doc check etc
  • 10:15:43 <NamelessCoder> mm_forum doesn
  • 10:15:48 <NamelessCoder> 't exist for new versions iirc
  • 10:16:00 <Guest|15428> yes
  • 10:16:06 <Guest|15428> you are right..
  • 10:16:07 <NamelessCoder> no clue what doc check is but since I don't hear about it, I'd guess deprecated
  • 10:16:15 <Guest|15428> yes
  • 10:16:22 <NamelessCoder> don't mean to discourage you but you really should have been keeping up with upgrades sooner
  • 10:16:22 <Guest|15428> how about compare database
  • 10:16:35 <NamelessCoder> yes, the full upgrade must be completed for every version I mentioned
  • 10:16:41 <Guest|15428> e.g if i upgrade 4.2.17 to 4.7.20
  • 10:16:51 <Woody> @Guest|15428: You can also try the Smooth Migration Extension - it will tell you which Extensions are not compatible or have deprecated code
  • 10:16:53 <NamelessCoder> Woody check the issue tracker, I think there is an open issue for that
  • 10:17:23 <Guest|15428> oh.. can i download that
  • 10:17:30 <Guest|15428> from extension manager
  • 10:17:44 <NamelessCoder> probably not for your 4.2 site
  • 10:18:16 <Woody> Smooth migration helps you getting from lts to lts - https://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/smoothmigration
  • 10:18:29 <Woody> Okay thank you @Nameless - i'll have a look!
  • 10:20:13 <Guest|15428> sure
  • 10:21:26 <Woody> Do you mean https://github.com/FluidTYPO3/vhs/issues ?
  • 10:21:33 <Woody> or is there another issue tracker?
  • 10:21:35 <Guest|15428> thanks
  • 10:24:35 <Guest|15428> thankyou woody
  • 10:24:54 <Guest|15428> currently at 4.2.17
  • 10:25:03 <Guest|15428> so i can upload this extension right
  • 10:31:32 <NamelessCoder> yep Woody that's the one
  • 10:32:25 <NamelessCoder> I'm out - have a nice weekend!
