The static export replaced every EXT:form form with a contact notice. The
forms are back, rendered by TYPO3 13 and embedded in the static pages:
- Page type 1704 (/<page>/form) renders only the form plugin of a page,
inside a .form-island element. Every form posts to that URL
(renderingOptions.additionalParams), because on www the page URL is a
static file that never reaches TYPO3. htmx swaps the island in place:
validation errors, multi-step pages and confirmations. A redirect to an
htmx request becomes HX-Redirect (HtmxRedirectMiddleware), so Redirect
finishers send the browser to the thank-you page.
- While a request runs, an overlay with a spinner (as in MyE&P) covers
the form. Styled inside the island: the static pages load the CSS of
the TYPO3 10 export.
- The bw_captcha image comes from /<page>/captcha for the same reason.
Both suffixes are in the PageType enhancer of every site with forms
(semesterende gets one with default '' to keep its URLs).
- Ported from TYPO3 10: form setup, templates and partials, the MyE&P
address finisher, the job application finisher with the MyE&P Team
API client (epTeamApi* in secrets.php), the page URL/referrer finisher
with ReferrerMiddleware (?ref=), the e-mail layout without the system
footer, bw_captcha 5 and form_element_linked_checkbox 6. The address
check forms are dropped.
- German language packs (EXT:form messages): availableLanguages = de,
fetched on every deploy (typo3:language:update).
- The checkbox partials passed null to VHS' substring, which PHP 8.5
reports as deprecated.
- DDEV no longer turns deprecations into exceptions, matching
production: EXT:form's RenderFormValueViewHelper uses null as an array
offset for empty optional fields (core bug, also in 13.4.37).
The static pages get their placeholders from the exporter in EP/website,
see .ddev/plans/static-export-form-islands.patch (local only).
