Deprecation: #99523 - Deprecate type="none" pass_content¶
See forge#99523
Description¶
The TCA option pass_content
for type="none"
fields has been
marked deprecated in TYPO3 v12 and will be removed with v13.
Impact¶
Using the option should be avoided and has no impact anymore.
Instances with field configurations, section config
of type="none"
having key pass_content
will trigger a deprecation warning during
TCA cache warmup.
Affected installations¶
The type="none"
TCA field is a rarely used type, its main purpose is
to allow virtual fields (a field without corresponding database column).
Instances are affected when the backend "lowlevel" search
in $GLOBALS['TCA']
for "pass_content" reveals matches.
Migration¶
The pass_content=true
option was documented to not htmlspecialchars()
the value. This is an edge case anyways, since the type="none"
is designed
to not have a database field at all, so there is usually no value. Additionally,
the current behavior still applies htmlspecialchars()
to the value. This has
not been fixed in TYPO3 v11 and v12 since it may open a security issue with existing
instances.
Instances that need non-HTML escaped output with type="none"
should register an
own renderType
element for the field, as documented in
the TYPO3 explained FormEngine chapter.
