Epic #89107

Updated by Susanne Moog about 5 years ago

 
 Site settings should provide a possibility to configure site-wide settings (for example storage PIDs) for use in all contexts. 

 Prerequisites: 

 * Existing site 

 Starting point: Sites module 

 * A site has a new button "edit settings" to reach the site settings module 
 * The site settings module has the same interface as the constant editor / extension configuration (can be refactored to a different syntax at a later point - we want to keep settings in the same format and switch to yaml for constants and site settings in one step, providing a fallback to the legacy syntax; as step one: make reusing of constant editor files/config possible) 
 * The site settings get read and written to a file called "settings.yaml" "settings.typoscript" next to the corresponding sites config.yaml (similar to how constants are saved) 
 * The site settings are readable / accessible via the sites object (and in all cases where that is accessible) 
 * The site settings interface is build from various Settings.typoscript configuration files provided by extensions in Configuration/Site/Settings.typoscript (these contain the interface definitions - see constants for syntax) 

 Further steps: 
 * Make site settings language aware 
 * Add possibility to restrict an extensions site settings to specific sites only (question to be discussed: should we implement a general possibility to load extensions based on the current site?) 

 Additional Info: 
 * Benjamin Kott is working on a revamp of the constant editor configuration format / gui - which can then be used for both site settings and constants
