Affected Installations
Any TYPO3 installation working with custom extensions that use any of these functionalities, methods or properties.
Migration
All of the functionality is obsolete or outdated and should be handled differently from now on:
- The
compensateoption was used for forms built with TYPO3 4.x (before TYPO3 4.6), instead, any other form framework should be used for forms and for field width calculations, where styling of form fields are also handled via CSS.Field Width - An alternative
config.can be used and set via hooks in PHP classes nowadays and executed, instead of configuring this functionality on a high-end TypoScript level to execute include spaghetti PHP code within a file.page Gen Script Pageis solely working on public properties of the TSFE PHP class, which belongs to the TSFE object itself (thus, the logic is copied toGenerator:: pagegen Init () $TSFE->prepare)Page Content Generation () - Calculating the debug parse time for the web page is not part of the controller logic but more certainly belongs to the request handling itself, where it is handled in a cleaner way for PHP, waiting for further refactorings in TYPO3 v9.
