.. include:: /Includes.rst.txt .. _breaking-73516: ============================================================================================== Breaking: #73516 - GeneralUtility::getFileAbsFileName allows for typo3/ maindir specific paths ============================================================================================== See :issue:`73516` Description =========== The PHP method `GeneralUtility::getFileAbsFileName` used for resolving absolute paths has the option removed to only resolve relative paths or paths to the typo3/ main directory. Impact ====== The two removed parameters are not evaluated anymore, thus always resolving any path, and additionally always relative to the `PATH_site` variable (the installations' base directory). Affected Installations ====================== Any installation with an extension using the removed options to fetch data relative to the typo3/ directory. Migration ========= Use the `EXT:` syntax everywhere to resolve files within extension directories. If the path relative to the typo3/ main directory is explicitly needed, the constant `TYPO3_mainDir` can be used as a prefix to the file. .. index:: PHP-API, TypoScript
