Description

Feature Toggles were introduced in TYPO3 v9.1 (see #83429, ChangeLog, and documentation). The main target audience to use feature toggles are integrators, site administrators, and developers (tech-savvy backend users).

The visual appearance of the UI could (should?) be improved. For example:

  • Re-arrange and align the texts and toggle switches.
  • Add a headline for each feature.
  • Do not show the identifier (e.g. redirects.hitCount) if not required.
  • Use nicer switches (other parts of the BE show toggle switches that are more obvious switches).
  • Allow for links (e.g. in 10.2 we have the betaTranslationServer and a link to https://crowdin.com which is not a <a href="">...</a> tag).
  • ...

Hi Michael,

thanks for creating this issue. Tbh I don't use this tool that much and I think also other developers/integrators visit this one or two times while performing an upgrade or a complete new project.

But that fact should not stop us rework this tool a bit (at least the visual appearance). So a colleague of mine did me a favour and made a design how it could look like.

Could you please have a look. It's just a direction how we could go. If this is fine for you I would make a first patch based on the design.

I really like Oliver's mock-up :-)

Attached is another possible concept. Feedback welcome.

Many thanks for working on this!

Two suggestions re patch set 2:

  • I think it would be nice to align the button(s) to the right, see screenshot below.
  • I really like your UI concept using toggle switches :-)
