Deprecation: #100459 - BackendUtility::getRecordToolTip()¶

Description¶

The method \TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Utility\BackendUtility::getRecordToolTip() has been marked as deprecated.

Impact¶

Calling this method will trigger a PHP deprecation warning.

Affected installations¶

TYPO3 installations with custom extensions using this method. This is usually the case for old installations where Fluid templates or Extbase backend modules were not common.

Migration¶

As this method is just a wrapper around BackendUtility::getRecordIconAltText() with a "title" attribute for the markup, the replacement is straightforward:

Before:

$link = '<a href="..." ' . BackendUtility::getRecordToolTip(...) . '>my link</a>';

After:

$link = '<a href="..." title="' . BackendUtility::getRecordIconAltText(...) . '">my link</a>';
