Deprecation: #84341 - Protected methods and properties in NewRecordController¶

Description¶

This file is about third party usage of \TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Controller\NewRecordController .

A series of class properties has been set to protected. They will throw deprecation warnings if called public from outside:

[not scanned] pageinfo
pidInfo
newPagesInto
newContentInto
newPagesAfter
web_list_modTSconfig
allowedNewTables
deniedNewTables
web_list_modTSconfig_pid
allowedNewTables_pid
deniedNewTables_pid
code
R_URI
[not scanned] id
returnUrl
pagesOnly
[not scanned] perms_clause
[not scanned] content
tRows

All methods not used as entry points by \TYPO3\CMS\Backend\Http\RouteDispatcher will be removed or set to protected in v10 and throw deprecation warnings if used from a third party:

[not scanned] main()
pagesOnly()
regularNew()
sortNewRecordsByConfig()
linkWrap()

Impact¶

Calling one of the above methods or accessing one of the above properties on an instance of NewRecordController will throw a deprecation warning in v9 and a PHP fatal in v10.

Affected Installations¶

The extension scanner will find most usages, but may also find some false positives. The most common property and method names like $content are not registered and will not be found if an extension uses that on an instance of NewRecordController.

In general all extensions that set properties or call methods except mainAction() are affected.

Migration¶

In general, extensions should not instantiate and re-use controllers of the core. Existing usages should be rewritten to be free of calls like these.
