TYPO3 Core

Hi,
What happens when you install "version" through the EM? It is shipped with TYPO3 4.0 beta. (Might be a "shy" extension)

Greets,Sebastian

it worked but I thought this extension should be enable by default...

While I am in the EM code anyway, what about making version a required ext? This would break TYPO3 on MySQL 3.23.x, so it is not an option. Alternatives: * disable workspace stuff if versioning not loaded or (see also 2160) * make versioning work differently

What is the best way? Dmitry, are you looking into this?

Hi,

did you consider http://www.wmdb.de/versionfix ? I am not sure if it still works as expected with all the workspaces stuff, but it might be worth a try. We could maybe offer the user on installation which versioning he wants to do - as the performance of version_swapfix is not as good I suppose.

Anyways, if it doesn't work, +1 for disabling workspaces when version is not installed.

Greets, Sebastian

We talked with Kasper about it some time ago. He said he thinks about changing Version extension to be compatble with 3.23. I do not remember what was decided about Workspace module if versioning is not present. I will take a look at it tomorrow. Probably workspace module will just say that versioning extension is not present, so it cannot continue.

Just having Version extension enabled in the system with mysql 3.23 does not break anything. I [have to] use 3.23 and versioning extension is enabled. I just do not use it.

...and I will check the patch that Sebasian mentioned too.

Sebastian, when writing about changing the way versioning works, I was thinking about the wmdb versionfix, indeed.

Is it possible to disable workspace handling at all, in a way that no versions are ever created?

It is possible to disable workspace module but not wokspace handling. Workspace overlaying and other operations are still performed by core. If I am not mistaken, Versioning exstension is required by only Workspace module. But Workspace module is only a user inteface, it is not required for proper functioning of typo3.
