Breaking Changes

• If a plugin has removed or replaced messages_notifier to hide/alter the inbox icon, the plugin must instead do the same for the topbar menu handler (messages_register_topbar).

Fixes #8862 (67cff474)

• When creating within a group, ElggEntity::create used to always separately check if the current user can use the owner's account as a container. This made sure that one group member could not post to the group using another member as owner. This separate check led to confusion, as handlers of the container_permissions_check hook were told that the owner was to be the container, when it was actually the group.

Here we bypass the separate owner container check if the desired owner_guid is the logged in user GUID. This eliminates the check under all normal circumstances but leaves it in place in case a poorly coded plugin allows the impersonation described above.

This also denies creation if the owner/container GUIDs are set but can't be loaded. Before, create() would simply bypass the permissions check if it couldn't load the owner/container.

Fixes #4231 (5adf98fd)

• We've removed the "categories" plugin from core.

You may access it at https://github.com/Elgg/categories

Fixes #7584 (ba0c12f2)

Breaking Changes

• To allow likes on your content you must permit the annotation to be created. Likes provides a new hook “likes:is_likable” to allow easily registering entities by type:subtype.

Fixes #5996 (cb6ebcc9)

• The plugins blog, bookmarks and file have been changed to have their content listing for "Mine" and "Friends" list content where they are the owner of. Previously it only listed content created in their container. This resulted in group content not showing in 'my' content listings.

Fixes #4878 (20e606b7)

• The functions blog_get_page_content_read and blog_get_page_content_friends are no longer available. (a437f952)
• The file mod/aalborg_theme/graphics/avatar_menu_arrows.png has been removed.

Fixes #8629 (ee7f14ed)

• Elgg no longer checks get_input(‘view’) and $CONFIG->view for every call of elgg_get_viewtype(). elgg_set_viewtype() must be used to change the global viewtype.

Fixes #8438 (541a5cd1)

• The forms/admin/plugin/change_state view is no longer available (796cafe7)
• Only profile fields that are passed to the profile/edit action via $_REQUEST will be updated. Omitted fields will not be cleared as it was before this change.

fixes #8582 (fd7b8e0a)

• Fields not submitted to the groups/edit action will no longer be acted upon. Previously they would be set to empty or default values. (c3d11285)
• dropped library elgg.markdown

The Markdown library is available as a composer package, this requires less maintenance by Elgg developers.

fixes #8597 (df68d986)

• The action widgets/upgrade is no longer available (c3273d1d)
• The deprecated functions $user->getSites(), $user->addToSite(), $user->removeFromSite(), $user->listFriends() and $user->listGroups() are removed. (3bde1718)
• This class is no longer used in Elgg. If you still need this, you need to provide your own version of this class. (4819c565)
• The deprecated function parameter support for $object->getSites() and $object->addToSite() are removed. Update to the parameter usage as defined in the ElggEntity functions. (5d02672b)
• If you use a reference to the physical Elgg sprites please update your plugin to use the FontAwesome icons.

Replace the Elgg sprites icons by FontAwesome icons, this allowes for more icons and easier styling of the icons

fixes #7239 (ea7b17d5)

• The plugin views are redesigned to display in a lightbox. This completely removes the views forms/admin/plugins/filter and forms/admin/plugins/sort. (bde2c394)
• Discussion feature has been pulled from the groups plugin into its own independent plugin.

The following views are not available anymore:

• object/groupforumtopic
• river/object/groupforumtopic/create

Also the [object, groupforumtopic] subtype has been replaced with the [object, discussion] subtype.

Nothing changes from the group owners' point of view. The discussions feature is still available as a group tool and all old discussions are intact.

Fixes: #5994 (a4e484e6)

• See http://jquery.com/upgrade-guide/1.9/ for how to move off jquery-migrate.

If you'd prefer to just add it back, you can use this code in your plugin's init:

elgg_register_js('jquery-migrate', elgg_get_simplecache_url('jquery-migrate.js'), 'head');
elgg_load_js('jquery-migrate');

Also, define a jquery-migrate.js view containing the contents of the script. (8f58da98)

• Great care has been taken to make this change as backwards-compatible as possible, so you should not need to update any view references right away. However, you are certainly encouraged to move your JS and CSS views to their new, canonical locations.

Certain uses of the view,$view_name and view_vars,$view_name hooks will not work. See the docs on "View aliases" for more info.

Refs #8381 Fixes #8382 (881e2128)

• The following views, functions and methods have been removed completely.

Removed methods:

• ElggCache::set_variable()

• ElggData::getObjectOwnerGUID()
• ElggDiskFilestore::make_directory_root()

• ElggExtender::getOwner()

• ElggUser::getCollections()
• ElggUser::getOwner()

Also the following arguments have been dropped:

• ElggSite::getMembers()
  • 2: $offset
• elgg_view_entity_list()
  • 3: $offset
  • 4: $limit
  • 5: $full_view
  • 6: $list_type_toggle
  • 7: $pagination (852b2640)

Several internal data structures are no longer stored within the plugin- accessible config space; the removed keys are listed in docs/guides/upgrading.rst. The long-deprecated remove_blacklist() function has also been removed. (2247ed80)

• Relationship additions only fire the “create”, “relationship” event. (3517bd0f)
• Elgg no longer allows customizing the views template handler. We don't think this ever really worked in the first place, so probably no one was using it, but since it's conceivable someone could be, we're leaving this warning.

Fixes #8440 (8ae86f16)

• If your theme or plugin was overriding or extending the 'css' view, you should override/extend the 'css/elgg' view instead. (51441706)
• The view js/admin and the namespace elgg.admin are not available anymore. (7141da5f)
• To ensure your handler is called last, you must give it the highest priority of all matching handlers. To ensure your handler is called first, you must give it the lowest priority of all matching handlers. Registering with the keyword “all” no longer has any effect on calling order. (3e6a2898)
• Several views that were deprecated in the 1.x series are being removed in 2.x. This helps us keep the codebase clean and our maintenance burden lower. (805ecb1d)
• This removes several views related to IE. If you need support for browsers not listed in our browser support policy, we encourage you to to do so with feature detection and polyfills rather than conditional comments and user-agent sniffing. (7fe9329e)
• If you use the class FilePluginFile in your plugin, replace this usage with ElggFile (for construction). Load files objects with get_entity().

Fixes #7763 (6be0f97c)

• Any code that relies of mysql_* functions (expecting an implicit connection) will fail. Also any handler functions passed to the execute_delayed_read/write_query() function will now receive a Doctrine instead of an ext/mysql resource. (96453494)
• We are switching to Zend\Mail for sending emails in Elgg 2.0. It's likely that there are some edge cases that the library handles differently than Elgg 1.x used to. Take care to test your email notifications carefully when upgrading to 2.0.

Fixes #5918 (e9de196d)

• For the best security and performance, serve all pages over HTTPS by switching the scheme in your site's wwwroot to https at http://yoursite.tld/admin/settings/advanced

Fixes #5729 (c0e81a40)

• If you use any inline scripts that depend on scripts in head, you'll need to change them to external AMD modules and load them with elgg_require_js.
