Deprecation: #96641 - Link-related functionality in ContentObjectRenderer

See forge#96641

Description

Various methods related to shorthand syntax of generating links and URLs have been marked as deprecated:

• ContentObjectRenderer->getATagParams()

• ContentObjectRenderer->getTypoLink()

• ContentObjectRenderer->getUrlToCurrentLocation()

• ContentObjectRenderer->getTypoLink_URL()

They are related to functionality for generating URLs, and have been marked as deprecated in favor of the new LinkFactory API, and the existing $cObj->typoLink() and $cObj->typoLink_URL() methods.

Impact

Calling these methods in your own PHP code will trigger PHP E_USER_DEPRECATED errors.

Affected Installations

TYPO3 installations with custom extensions using these methods for generating links. The extension scanner in the Upgrade module / Install tool will show affected occurrences.

Migration

It is recommended to use either existing API calls:

• ContentObjectRenderer->typoLink()

• ContentObjectRenderer->typoLink_URL()

or the new methods for code that should be compatible with TYPO3 v12+ - only:

• ContentObjectRenderer->createUrl()

• ContentObjectRenderer->createLink()

or calling the LinkFactory API directly.
