With TYPO3 LTS 7 and up, top margin and bottom margin are not suported by Fluid styled content.

css styles content enter image description here

My users used a lot of those margins in 6.2 LTS

How can I do to make this working again (override TCA, extension, etc)?

I think you can

  1. install Fluid Styled Content and CSS Styled Content;
  2. then don't add the static typoscript of css styled content.
  3. modify the templates or partials of the Fluid Styled Content elements to use the new fields.

I don't know if this scenario has hidden drawbacks that I currently don't see.

Another scenario could be to use the CSS Styled Content also on version 7 and plan a migration to version 8 or 9 where they're used again, but the fields have become dropdown lists; plus, even the field names in database have changed: in version 6.2 they were spaceBefore and spaceAfter while since 8.7 they're called space_before_class and space_after_class.

As far as I know there are no conversion or upgrade tools between these fields.

See here and here for further details.

  • Are you saying that top margin and bottom margin are back in LTS 8? We plan to migrate to 7 and 8 in a few months – SteveLeg Nov 11 '18 at 23:43

    yes, but in a different way: See https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/core/Changelog/8.6/Feature-79622-SpaceBeforeAndSpaceAfterClassForFluidStyledContent.html and https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/extensions/core/Changelog/8.6/Breaking-79622-SpaceBeforeAndSpaceAfterAdjustmentsForCSSStyledContent.html – Riccardo De Contardi Nov 12 '18 at 10:23
