Difference between "legacy contao module" and (just) "contao module"


Solution

  • The legacy modules are ported from the old extension repository of contao to a packagist. This is a special service of the contao community alliance to offer the possibility to install extension via composer that are not available at packagist. Generally, the modules from legacy are older. If there is a "normal" contao module, use this.
