Updated by Sybille Peters 10 months ago
Previously, it used to be possible to replace and override an existing linktype without XCLASS. With the change https://review.typo3.org/c/Packages/TYPO3.CMS/+/73568, the linktypes are automatically registered so it is no possible to deactivate or replace one of them directly. (It is still possible with XCLASS). - check what is current best practice for doing this - document it Currently we have an example for creating a *new* custom type: https://docs.typo3.org/c/typo3/cms-linkvalidator/main/en-us/Development/LinkTypeImplementation.html -AFAIK AFAIK the identifier of the linktype must correspond to the link type returned by the link parsers, so we can't just use a different identifier.- A different identifier must be used for the new custom class. identifier. Since we recommend to "override the ExternalLinktype class" as one possibility in "Known problems":https://docs.typo3.org/c/typo3/cms-linkvalidator/main/en-us/KnownProblems/Index.html, this should also be documented.
