  • IconUtility::skinImg()
  • IconUtility::getIcon()
  • IconUtility::getSpriteIcon()
  • IconUtility::getSpriteIconForFile()
  • IconUtility::getSpriteIconForRecord()
  • IconUtility::getSpriteIconForResource()

The PageTSConfig setting mod.wizards.newContentElement.wizardItems.*.elements.*.icon also has been marked as deprecated.

The IconUtilityOverrideResourceIconHookInterface interface will be removed with TYPO3 CMS 8.

Impact

Any usage of these methods will trigger a deprecation log entry.

Affected Installations

Extensions that call these PHP methods directly. Extensions that register own content elements with an icon for the new content element wizard.

Migration

Use the new IconFactory class instead of IconUtility.

For content element wizard register your icon in IconRegistry::registerIcon() and use the new setting: mod.wizards.newContentElement.wizardItems.*.elements.*.iconIdentifier
