Future of EXT:container? #473

Open the-andyman opened 9 months ago

the-andyman commented 9 months ago

Hello and thank you very much for the great contaier extension.

In order to be able to plan for the near future, I would like to know if the container extension will also be available for the upcoming TYPO3 versions, or is the extension foreseeably obsolete due to the release of "TYPO3 CMS Content Blocks"?

Are there already information or plans for this?

Do you mean Content Blocks or Dynamic Grid https://typo3.org/community/teams/structured-content

I was referring to https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/content_blocks My concern is that I will soon have to rebuild everything again after switching from gridelemets to container. Just in case your extension is no longer developed in the future.

I am not a "container" developer or b13 employee, I can not tell anything about future plans, but I can understand your concern, as I had to do the same with many websites. However, you cannot compare "content blocks" with "container", "content blocks" is used to create content elements and container to create grids.

This will not replace proper grid extensions like EXT:container, as this solution does not provide drag and drop or creation of new child elements in the Page Module.

Maybe that answers your question.
