Since the TYPO3 forum seems a bit dead, I thought I'll try my luck here. If anyone knows a different place to ask, be sure to name it and I'll delete this post.
I recently acquired a project with TYPO3 webistes that I need to migrate from 6.2 to 7.6. I will probably need to rewrite a lot of customized extensions and I want to start with the login system. The main site uses shibboleth_auth (which is discontinued) that has been partially rewritten to fetch login data from different endpoint.
Now, what is the current alternative for this extension? And how do I "extend" an extension so that It can still be upgraded, but also uses my methods? ( in this case, the custom endpoints for login verifications ).
I know that the University of Austria and Munich are currently working on a shibboleth authentication plugin that will work with 7.6. They asked a couple of weeks ago about feature requests and funding.
Our agency is maintaining a friendly fork of EXT:shibboleth_auth, it can be found at GitHub and Packagist. It is currently compatible with TYPO3 8.7 CMS and a version for TYPO3 10.4 LTS will follow shortly.

A day ago my prestashop website, in the comment box of the blog started to display the following message:
And entering the post that explains how to migrate the version of TinyMCE , I do not understand very well how to perform these steps in my prestashop.
How can I update this?a
if you are using a third-party module to make your blog it might be is including its own version of TinyMCE. You should try to dig in its code to understand that.
If this is not the case, the blog uses TinyMCE which is normally included in Prestashop core.
On said that, this second case is likely to be the one. Update the e-commerce unlikely will solve your problem. I honestly don't remember in which version they are with TinyMCE but doing an upgrade like that might break back-office editor forms so I don't think they are keen on that at the moment. They are doing a major rollover to Symfony, I am pretty sure this is their priority right now. As said in one comment, Prestashop's dev team has to solve the issue on their side.
I recently switched from Contao 3.X to Contao 4.4. So far so good. I like it very much. Especially working with composer.
Currently, I am looking for a solution, to create custom content elements. In Contao 3.X I could do this with the extension dma_elementgenerator (https://github.com/DMAGmbH/dma_elementgenerator). Now it looks like it's deprecated and not usable in any Contao 4.X version.
Has anyone a solution (or at least an idea) how to create custom content elements?
Example: I have to display a section with some progress bars:
I'm just looking for a way to manage those stats from the backend. Actually, I just need following custom fields:
Title
Percent
Colour
I was looking for a possibility in the last few days, but I couldn't find any. If there is no direct solution: has anyone a tip/howto, so I can possibly create a new Contao 4 extension by myself?
Never created an extension in Contao 4.
Currently you can use rocksolid custom-elements[1] by Martin Auswoeger.
He has already ported them to Contao 4.
Other extensions will follow soon.
If you really want to create your own extension, there is plenty of information available in German from various talks on the conference website, the website of the Contao Nordtag and so on.
Sadly almost none in English so far but we will change that.
For beginners, I always suggest to grab a small contao extension (nowadays called "contao-bundle") from github or packagist and read the code.

Received a solution from another forum. There is a way to install Contao 3.X extensions in Contao 4.X.
The how to is in german, but maybe someone will need it too:

Hello to all TYPO3 enthusiasts,
I am asking myself since about 2 weeks now, how to make a feedback/guestbook page with TYPO3.
What I want:
I have a page, where visitors can leave a feedback.
When they send a feedback, it shall not be showed immediately. It shall be stored in a database, with a flag "allowed: yes/no". If the administrator allows the visitors feedback, it shall appear on the page.
The feedbacks, that haven't yet been allowed, shall be displayed in the backend, where they can be enabled.
My problem
I don't even know, if this is realizable? If it is, what is the next step to make this working? Do i have to create my own extension for that?
Would be very nice, if someone can answer me my question and maybe give me some advices.
Have a look at https://bitbucket.org/ArminVieweg/pw_comments/overview
The current master version should be capable of doing this for TYPO3 7.6
Here is a third one :-)
https://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/mmc_guestbook
I tested that and it worked for me, I think it should also work on 7.6 so you can just ignore the requirements.
Since I needed some changes I rewrote most of the code and my version is working on 7.6. Write a comment if you want me version.
Download and install extension tt_guest from TYPO3 extensions repository

This would offer the funktionality you described
I want to create a php application that can be used by many users, As laravel 4 requries 5.3.7 i am confused weather to use it or not because many of the users may not have the php version supported as they will be using shared hosting.
How to overcome this ? Is it by using older version of laravel or some other solution please help me. I am really intersted in using laravel cause of its robust nature.
To be honest, depending on what your application is, it's probably enough to think that most users are either already going to be on PHP 5.3.7+ or they will be willing to upgrade to the latest version or a more recent version of PHP.
When PHP 5.3.20 was released, there was an extremely public announcement that PHP 5.3 was going to be EOL'd after March 2013.
It's now obviously past March 2013.
People should have moved to PHP 5.4 by now. If your application is a one of a kind, or the best in it's class, then you should not need to worry about what version of PHP is being operated on, as people should either
be running PHP version > 5.3.20
be able to upgrade to a PHP version > 5.3.20
The Laravel dependancy on PHP 5.3 is a nice one, and to be honest, with all of the new features and general code style of Laravel being introduced, I would not be surprised if the version requirement is increased to PHP 5.4 "soon" (in say the next 6-12 months).
If you want to create an application used by many users, simply advise them that there is a minimum requirement for PHP 5.3.7. This is not too unusual for web applications.
For example, a very popular PHP forum phpBB has required PHP 5.3.3 since March 2012.
Is there an extension that would check whether there are newer versions available to the installed extensions on a Joomla site, and would notify the site administrator?
Ideally, I am looking for something similar to Drupal's "Update" module.
I understand that there is no central place for keeping all these modules and their versions for Joomla, but at least a lot of them are available on the Joomla Extensions site, along with the needed information, so perhaps somebody wrote a tool that checks that source?
Aha, looks like this is to be included in Joomla 1.6, according to this description (check out the "Find Updates" button, looks great).
But if you are using Joomla 1.5 until 1.6 is stable check out: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/installers/9332
Excellent for keeping components up to date :)
