# Deprecation: #78314 - AbstractFunctionModule->getBackPath

See [forge#78314](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/78314)

## Description

The protected method `AbstractFunctionModule->getBackPath()` has been marked as deprecated, as it is not needed anymore.

## Impact

Calling the PHP method will trigger a deprecation log entry.

## Affected Installations

Any TYPO3 extension with a PHP class extending the `AbstractFunctionModule` and calling the method above.

## Migration

As the method always returns an empty string (since the `backPath` functionality is not needed anymore) the PHP call can be removed.
