TYPO3 is constantly being further developed by a large community. Technical innovations are introduced as well as security updates that close corresponding gaps in the system.

The TYPO3 installation of TU Dortmund University has now been upgraded to version 10. This ensures that all TYPO3 sites remain technically up-to-date and that relevant security gaps can be eliminated by appropriate patches.

On this page you will find everything important about the relevant changes.

New features

With the update to the new TYPO3 version, new features have found their way into the system to make your daily work easier. Below you will find a list of features that are relevant for our editors:


Check for missing, alternative texts for images

When changing a URL segment: automatic update of all subpages and creation of redirects

In the new TYPO3 version, when a URL segment is changed, the URL segments of all subpages are automatically updated as well.In addition, appropriate redirects from the old to the new URL segment are generated for all affected pages.


Filter when embedding content elements

When embedding content elements, a search box is displayed above the tab navigation, which can be used to filter the available content elements by keywords. Tabs in which no matching results were found are grayed out.


Highlighting filter results in the page tree

Filter results in the page tree are now highlighted accordingly. This enables better orientation in the results and leads to a better overview during editorial work.

New function in the context menu of the page tree: Hide in menu

A new function has been added to the context menu of the page tree: Under "More options" you can now also find the option to hide pages in the menu of the appearance via the context menu.

Good to know

In addition to the new features, there are minor changes to existing functions:


Forms: Multiple e-mail addresses can be stored in e-mail finishers

When creating a form, multiple e-mail addresses can now be stored for the "E-mail to sender / recipient" finishers (this also applies to the Reply-To, CC and BCC fields).

Multiple e-mail addresses can also be stored when overwriting the above finishers.

Forms: Changed logic when overwriting email finishers.

If an e-mail finisher defined in the form is overwritten and new e-mail addresses are specified for Sender, Recipient, Reply-To, CC or BCC, the new e-mail addresses replace those originally stored in the form. The e-mail addresses stored in the form are not changed, but ignored.


Forms: Inclusion of form data in e-mail finishers now via unique identifier of the field

If form data is to be used in an e-mail finisher (e.g. to store the e-mail address entered in the form as the recipient in the "E-mail to sender" finisher), the "[+]" can no longer be used in all places to reference the respective form field. For some finisher fields, the unique identifier of the form field must now be manually stored in curly brackets.
