1 year ago I absolutely agree with the last sentence. How customizable Contao would be with Metamodels as a core module. (News and Events modules could just be made with MM.)

1 year ago First of all, with Contao 4.14 and PHP 8.1, syncCto runs as version 4.1.
For Contao 5 there will be an alternative project elsewhere.
btw: if you want to have MetaModels in the "core", you should rather work with Drupal, OctoberCMS, Silverstripe... there are also other CMS like Typo3 that have a staging system in the core.
With Contao, you have to add all this as an extension, which is not always possible without "pain".
Nevertheless, Contao is a great CMS :D

1 year ago From what you wrote I can answer my own question: No, the extension will not work with Contao 5.
Last friday (17.02.2023) the extension was updated to be compatible to PHP ^8.0 That's nice for new installations. With the dropped backward compatibility to PHP 7 it could force existing installations to migrate to PHP 8 (which is a good thing).
So I will investigate other, more generic ways to deploy my local installation to the customers server.
When I started looking into Contao, I was hoping for a more elegant and long lasting way other than backup-copy-restore. But I will stay with Contao, even though the backend UI is a bit old fashioned and the UX is rather clunky at times.
I really like that it has so many useful core modules out of the box. (I thought in the beginning synchronization was one of them - that's why I started with Contao.)

Hi Zonky, Sorry, I confused SyncCto and MM (which are both great extensions...) And you're right, MM is to big to be easily integrated as core module. Another one could be : agoat/contao-customcontentelements.
And i'm still ok that Contao is a great CMS. i don't want to work with another one. -)
This is not an issue but merely a question: Are there any plans to make this extension usable with PHP 8.1 and Contao 5 from your side?
No offence meant. I'm just wondering whether I can wait for this extension to become compatible or if I have to evaluate alternative ways to organize my deployments.
By the way: This extension brought me into Contao in the first place. It would sad if it is discontinued now. (I'd love to see it as a core module. This would set Contao miles ahead of any other CMS. :-) )
