# Deprecation: #94953 - Edit panel related frontend functionality {#deprecation-94953}

See [forge#94953](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/94953)

## Description {#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 {#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 {#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 {#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.
