# Breaking: #66034 - Drop Content Adapter {#breaking-66034}

See [forge#66034](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/66034)

## Description {#description}

The TYPO3 configuration option \[FE\]\[activateContentAdapter\] and the associated code has been dropped from the TYPO3 core.
This option was used to transform FAL fields back to old file fields.

## Impact {#impact}

Any installation using TypoScript referring to old file columns as present *before* TYPO3 CMS 6.x will stop working as expected.

## Migration {#migration}

Change your TypoScript to use the new content object FILES to retrieve files.
