Import/Export enhanced

This extension has been available for a long time, however it was not very comfortable to work with it because of its incompleteness. In TYPO3 3.8.0 most of the missing features have been completed. 

Here is a brief summary: 

  • Support for flexforms (hence TemplaVoila) 

  • Support for RTE embedded images 

  • Support for updates of existing records in various forms 

  • Optional XML format 

  • Support for a new concept called "soft references" which are plain-text links/file references/markers and allows to track and include these in export. Examples are "fileadmin/..." references in TypoScript templates and <link> typolink tags. 

  • It can export from the page tree root 

  • Extension dependencies can be set 

  • Export links directly from clipboard and Web>List 

  • Support of meta data including embedded thumbnails 

  • Added a new feature to force all UIDs in the Import/Export function 

Backend GUI

In the shortcut frame its now possible to enter a table:uid pair in the "Edit page" box. For instance "tt_content:123" will launch the doc module for that element. This is a nice feature to jump directly to a content element. 

A new feature offers collapsible modules for the backend module bar so you can hide/unhide the modules to fit your needs. 

The context menu now also works by clicking with the right mouse button on an icon or a text. Additionally it also works with Opera browsers (minimal version: 6.x) now.
