Deprecation: #94953 - Edit panel related frontend functionality¶

Description¶

With the extraction of the "feedit" extension from TYPO3 core in v10 a couple of TypoScript related properties have been rendered unused. Extensions that provide a frontend editing approach should implement these on their own.

The following TypoScript properties have been marked as deprecated and will be removed in TYPO3 v12:

• stdWrap.editPanel
• stdWrap.editPanel.
• stdWrap.editIcons
• stdWrap.editIcons.
• EDITPANEL content object

Related PHP code has been marked as deprecated:

• Method TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObject\ContentObjectRenderer->stdWrap_editIcons() - scanned
• Method TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObject\ContentObjectRenderer->stdWrap_editPanel() - scanned
• Method TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObject\ContentObjectRenderer->editPanel() - scanned
• Method TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObject\ContentObjectRenderer->editIcons() - scanned
• Method TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObject\ContentObjectRenderer->isDisabled() - not scanned
• Class \TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObject\EditPanelContentObject - scanned
• Hook $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['typo3/classes/class.frontendedit.php'] - scanned, logged
• Property TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Controller\TypoScriptFrontendController.php->displayEditIcons - scanned
• Property TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Controller\TypoScriptFrontendController.php->displayFieldEditIcons - scanned
• Method TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Plugin\AbstractPlugin->pi_getEditPanel() - scanned, logged
• Method TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Plugin\AbstractPlugin->pi_getEditIcon() - scanned, logged
• Property TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\Plugin\AbstractPlugin->pi_EPtemp_cObj - scanned

Impact¶

Some of the method usages will trigger a PHP E_USER_DEPRECATED error upon use. The core extension EXT:fluid_styled_content still sets stdWrap.editPanel and stdWrap.editIcons properties for content elements, so the known frontend editing related extensions EXT:feedit and EXT:frontend_editing will continue to work in v11. Those properties will be removed with v12.

Affected Installations¶

Instances that use frontend editing extensions - most notably EXT:feedit or EXT:frontend_editing - may see deprecated functionality being logged. The extension scanner will find PHP usages. Using the TypoScript properties is not logged.

Migration¶

Frontend editing related extensions like EXT:feedit and EXT:frontend_editing should no longer rely on core provided preparation. The stdWrap functionality can be integrated with stdWrap related hooks, the EDITPANEL cObj can be registered as extension provided content object, which obsoleted the use of the typo3/classes/class.frontendedit.php hook.
