TYPO3 Core

Patch set 2 for branch master of project Packages/TYPO3.CMS has been pushed to the review server.
It is available at https://review.typo3.org/48696

Questions by François taken from the change-set on review.typo3.org:

• which group can do which actions, i.e. what is the difference between owners, members and the workspace creator?
• notification settings: when choosing which users to check by default for notification, the list includes owners, members and editors. What are editors (since there are only owners and members fields in the custom workspace definition)?
• is the "Freeze editing" setting still used (at least I could find no trace in the Core source code)?
• not all modules used to appear in workspaces. Now they all seem to appear no matter what. Is that right (i.e. is the $MCONF['workspaces'] configuration indeed obsolete)?
• I found the following User TSconfig option to be not used anymore: options.workspaces.allowed_languages.workspaceId. Right?
• I found the following Page TSconfig option to be not used anymore: tx_version.workspaces.stageNotificationEmail.additionalHeaders. Right?

• owner
  • basically the workspace administrator which always can publish changes to the live workspace
• members
  • "workers" or "editors" that take care about manipulating the content of a workspace
  • if the flag "only workspace owner can publish" is enabled on the "other" tab, members cannot publish to the live workspace
• responsible persons
  • a sub-selection of the group of all members and owners, that are "responsible" for a particular state
  • useful to limit notifications to those responsible persons of e.g. marketing department or legal department

• notification settings: when choosing which users to check by default for notification, the list includes owners, members and editors. What are editors (since there are only owners and members fields in the custom workspace definition)?

This behavior has been introduced during development of TYPO3 CMS 7, see http://review.typo3.org/31160. In that regard the term "editors" are those, that initially created a new version for that particular workspace (by creating, modifying, moving, ...). The purpose was to notify only about relevant changes where a backend user has been active as "editor". Of course, the "editor" needs to have access to a particular workspace as being member or owner.

• is the "Freeze editing" setting still used (at least I could find no trace in the Core source code)?

The DataHandler (core, in general) is still validating that prior to actually execute uploads, data-maps and command-maps.

• not all modules used to appear in workspaces. Now they all seem to appear no matter what. Is that right (i.e. is the $MCONF['workspaces'] configuration indeed obsolete)?

Some still disappear, like "configuration" or "DB check" in the admin section. Unfortunately I don't know whether that was on purpose or just forgotten when rewriting the backend modules (Extbase, routing, ...)

• I found the following User TSconfig option to be not used anymore: options.workspaces.allowed_languages.workspaceId. Right?

This settings is applied in BackendUserAuthentication directly and thus overrides the current $BE_USER. It's still there in TYPO3 CMS 8.2

• I found the following Page TSconfig option to be not used anymore: tx_version.workspaces.stageNotificationEmail.additionalHeaders. Right?

This option has been removed without any substitution during 6.1 development, see https://review.typo3.org/#/c/19739/
