Deprecation: #85613 - Category Registry¶
See forge#85613
Description¶
With forge#94622 the new TCA type category
has been introduced
as a replacement for the \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Category\CategoryRegistry
.
Therefore, the CategoryRegistry
together with
\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::makeCategorizable()
method have been marked as deprecated and will be removed in TYPO3 v12.
The main reasons for this replacement are:
Using a dedicated type is more intuitive and consistent
No more
TCA/Overrides
are necessary for defining category fieldsThe new implementation is state of the art (e.g. direct usage of the Doctrine API for automatically adding the database columns)
Impact¶
Defining category fields for tables with
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['defaultCategorizedTables']
or
by calling ExtensionManagementUtility::makeCategorizable()
will
trigger a PHP E_USER_DEPRECATED
error.
The extension scanner will furthermore detect any call to
ExtensionManagementUtility::makeCategorizable()
and
CategoryRegistry
as strong match and any usage of
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['defaultCategorizedTables']
as weak match.
Affected Installations¶
All installations registering category fields using
ExtensionManagementUtility::makeCategorizable()
or defining
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['defaultCategorizedTables']
.
Furthermore, all installations, which directly access the CategoryRegistry
.
