Deprecation: #88995 - Calling registerPlugin with vendor name

See forge#88995

Description

The first parameter $extensionName of method \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Utility\ExtensionUtility::registerPlugin used to contain the vendor name in the past.

\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Utility\ExtensionUtility::registerPlugin(
    'TYPO3.CMS.Form',
    'Formframework',
    'Form',
    'content-form',
);

As the vendor name does not have any effect at all, it's usage has been marked as deprecated.

Impact

Calling registerPlugin() with first parameter containing dots (considered to be the full vendor) name will trigger a PHP E_USER_DEPRECATED error. As of TYPO3 v11 using the vendor name along with the extension name will lead to a wrong registration of plugins.

Affected Installations

All installations that add the vendor name to the first parameter $extensionName of method \TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Utility\ExtensionUtility::registerPlugin() are affected.

Migration

Just use the extension name like in this example.

\TYPO3\CMS\Extbase\Utility\ExtensionUtility::registerPlugin(
    'Form',
    'Formframework',
    'Form',
    'content-form',
);
