Extension configuration is missing flexform registration

[cweiske]

Current behavior

The "Extension configuration" documentation talks about flexforms and how its data can be used, but not how they must be registered to appear in the plugin element configuration.

Expected behavior/output

Code example how to register flexform for a plugin

Thanks for catching this, would you like to propose a PR?

[cweiske]

Nope.

It is documented:
https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/main/en-us/ApiOverview/FlexForms/Index.html#steps-to-perform-extension-developer
Maybe, just a link has to be added.

I would remove the example in the section Flexforms in https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/main/en-us/ExtensionArchitecture/HowTo/Configuration.html#flexforms instead. That part is just a stub, the more complete documentation is in https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/main/en-us/ApiOverview/FlexForms/Index.html#flexforms

I think if we add more information to that section, we effectively start documenting flexforms in 2 places.

Suggestion:

• remove the example https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/main/en-us/ExtensionArchitecture/HowTo/Configuration.html#example and keep that part slim
• make the link to https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/main/en-us/ApiOverview/FlexForms/Index.html#flexforms more prominent
