Breaking: #73516 - GeneralUtility::getFileAbsFileName allows for typo3/ maindir specific paths¶
See forge#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.
