.. include:: ../../Includes.txt ========================================= Deprecation: #85970 - FILE content object ========================================= See :issue:`85970` Description =========== The cObject FILE mixed concerns (rendering an image, or dumping file contents), and rather became low-level since Fluid's rise in rendering Frontend. FILE shows an image if the file is jpg,jpeg,gif,png (but not SVG), and if has a different file ending, it will check if the file is less than 1MB, it will get its contents and output that. If the file is 1 byte bigger, nothing is done. Fluid offers more flexibility nowadays. Thus, cObject FILE will be removed in TYPO3 v10. Impact ====== Instances using the TypoScript cObject :typoscript:`FILE` will find PHP :php:`E_USER_DEPRECATED` errors for each usage. Affected Installations ====================== Instances using the TypoScript cObject :typoscript:`FILE`. Migration ========= Use :typoscript:`IMAGE` to show images instead. For realising :typoscript:`TEMPLATE`, migrate to using :typoscript:`FLUIDTEMPLATE`. It comes with all the benefits Fluid offers. However due to the flexibility of custom cObjects, an extension author could just re-implement the functionality in a custom extension within minutes. See this example for ext:frontend where the registration resides in :file:`ext_localconf.php`. .. codeblock:: php $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['ContentObjects'] = array_merge( $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['ContentObjects'], [ 'FILE' => \TYPO3\CMS\Frontend\ContentObject\FileContentObject::class, ], ); .. index:: TypoScript, NotScanned
