orasche 74502e60a3 fe_comment: recipients are the FE users of the feedback group
- The selectable recipients are no longer a hand-maintained setting but
  every active frontend user of the feedback group (feUserGroup) with a
  valid e-mail address; the id is the fe_users uid, so a stored selection
  survives users joining or leaving. The `recipients` setting is marked
  unused
- Each recipient in the state payload carries label, email and selected
  (the stored choice), for a checkbox list with "select all" above the
  submit button
- submit accepts the checked ids directly ({"recipients": [uids]}),
  validates them against the group, stores and uses them, and reports
  the addresses used as sentTo; no selection falls back to mailTo
- migrations/check_fecomment_user.php: all summaries and items of one
  user incl. deleted ones, for diagnosis

EXT:fe_comment — page feedback widget

A floating button at the right edge of every page lets reviewers (e.g. the customer) comment on the page they are looking at. Notes collect on a local note pad (localStorage, survives navigation and SPA route changes); the pad lists every note with its URL and editable text and submits them all in one mail.

Framework-agnostic: the whole UI is one vanilla-JS file served by the extension itself — it works on a React/SPA front end and on classic TYPO3-rendered pages alike.

Endpoints (middleware, active on every site with the extension installed)

URL Purpose
/api/fe-comment/widget.js the widget (injects its own CSS)
/api/fe-comment/widget.css widget styles
/api/fe-comment/submit POST {"entries":[{"url","comment"}]} → sends the mail

Configuration (Settings → Extension Configuration → fe_comment)

  • mailTo (required) / mailCc / mailBcc — comma-separated lists. Without a valid mailTo, submissions are rejected (HTTP 503), nothing is lost silently.
  • subject — subject line, host and entry count are appended.
  • jsonOutput — 1 (default): headless mode, TYPO3 injects nothing; the front end embeds the widget itself: <script src="/api/fe-comment/widget.js" defer></script> 0: classic TYPO3 site, the extension injects the script into every rendered frontend page automatically (AssetCollector, no TypoScript).

The sender address is TYPO3's system default ($GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['MAIL']['defaultMailFromAddress']).

Notes for SPA setups

  • The page URL is read at SAVE time (location.pathname + search), so client-side route changes are captured correctly.
  • If page URLs are rewritten to an SPA fallback (like the vitec .htaccess phase B block), /api/ paths must stay excluded from the fallback so the endpoints keep reaching TYPO3.

Labels

UI labels are German and live in the T object at the top of Resources/Public/JavaScript/fe-comment.js.
