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>';
