The Content Types Team has had a productive couple of months. We showcased the Content Blocks extension at TYPO3camp RheinRuhr, and received valuable feedback from the community.

Following this, a self-organized codesprint event in Düsseldorf focused on extending the GUI for EXT:content_blocks, resulting in a comprehensive first draft. We have also welcomed two new members, Philipp and Filippos, to our team, enhancing our resources for further development.

As promised, Content Blocks is now officially planned for inclusion in TYPO3 v13. The sprint release v13.2 is scheduled for 2 July 2024.

TYPO3camp RheinRuhr November 2023

On 3 - 5 November 2023, we had the pleasure of participating in the TYPO3camp RheinRuhr event. On behalf of Nikita, we introduced the TYPO3 community to our latest updates and the current state of our extension. It is always immensely valuable to receive feedback from fellow TYPO3 enthusiasts. Similar to other lectures, the topic was well-received and attracted many interested parties. Events like the TYPO3camp RheinRuhr are the ideal spot for getting the right input.

Codesprint Event in Düsseldorf: Extend the GUI for Content Blocks 

In late November 2023, we hosted a Content Blocks Codesprint event at the TYPO3 headquarters in Düsseldorf. The primary focus was to actively extend the GUI for EXT:content_blocks. This event was a joint initiative of all team members to spend a focused week working together on the GUI and EXT:content_blocks. The result is a promising first draft of the GUI that allows creation, editing, deletion and export of different Content Block types.

We’d like to extend many thanks to TYPO3 GmbH, who provided us with the premises at the headquarters and took excellent care of us during the week!

Welcoming New Team Members

We’re delighted that our team has expanded with the addition of two new faces: Philipp Kuhlmay and Filippos Karpouchtsis.
