Breaking Changes

• The legacy_urls plugin is no comes bundled with Elgg, if you need it load it as a composer dependency.

fixes #11097 (a3cf1141)

• The pagehandler for reportedcontent has been removed in favour of using an Ajax form view. This can cause problems when loading JS is slow. (8edbceb1)
• dropped the expages page handler (63c5d7a8)
• If you extended the usersettings form by extending the view 'forms/account/save' you should update to extend 'forms/usersettings/save' (5c0b8e5e)
• The unvalidated users page and some actions have been moved to core and are no longer present in the uservalidationbyemail plugin.

fixes #4561 (faa8fe1c)

• The elgg:bookmarks PHP library and bookmarklet GIF were removed. (5d4d66f4)
• reverse_order_by in $options is ignored. (f1555502)
• HTML of system messages have been changed so they are reusable as inline message boxes. (1c64d898)
• The groups specific function 'groups_get_group_tool_options' has been replaced with the generic 'elgg_get_group_tool_options' function. (246db29f)
• The view object/widget/edit/num_display now uses an input/number field instead of an input/select field to set the number of displayed items. Widget edit views might need to be updated if a custom max number (higher than default_limit or 20) is used or if a custom stepsize of selectable item numbers is wanted. (a60da40a)
• The subtype 'page_top' has been removed from the pages plugin. All top pages are migrated to the subtype 'page'. Related views and helper functions have been dropped.

fixes: #11329 (e88b5707)

• The group metadata has been removed in favor of a access collection subtype. (450aaa4c)
• use the upgrade, system event instead

ref: #3655 (eeb21271)

• The create_metadata_from_array function is no longer available. Use your own foreach loop to create multiple metadata fields. (caf22201)
• The users_entity table no longer exists. Update your queries if needed. (3d5901a4)
• The elgg_get_entities_from_attributes function is no longer usable to get entities based on attributes. (2483b670)
• The objects_entity table no longer exists. Update your queries if needed. (19926b38)
• The groups_entity table no longer exists. Update your queries if needed. (67eaae29)
• icons are no longer generated buring upload, but on demand. On demand generated icons are based on master not on an original file. (29e92b67)
• The sites_entity table no longer exists. Update your queries if needed. (74663893)
• The file_delete function is no longer available. Take a look at ElggFile->deleteIcon for an alternative. (55352578)
• Switch to PSR-0 registration of classes or use composer autoload to register classes.

Fixes #9753 (5b8beafa)

• The groups:my_status menu is no longer available. Register your menu items somewhere else. (68e4eec7)
• The twitter_api plugin has been moved to a separate repository which can be found at https://github.com/Elgg/twitter_api The plugin will no longer be actively maintained by the Elgg core team.

fixes: #5927 (a1c5a1bf)

• The extras menu is no longer used. Register your menu items to other menus.

Fixes #7729 Fixes #8718 (b62d6247)

• The profile/status view is no longer called. You can extend/prepend the profile/fields view if you need a similar feature. Thewire is no longer adding the last wirepost to the profile. A wire widget could offer similar features. (47741728)
• As widget edit forms could not be on the current page it is a bad practice to rely on widget config values to be always available. This PR corrects this behaviour. If you override core widget content views you may need to update these views.

Fixes #10244 (98c96b60)

• Instead of a span with class elgg-non-link now a regular anchor will be outputted with the class elgg-non-link (cba37560)
• $CONFIG->input is no longer set or read. Use set_input/get_input. (1e7192b8)
• elgg_get_admin_notices() accepts only an array. (28d297f1)
• Plugins can no longer rely on Elgg to "hide" metadata in queries. All metadata is assumed to be public. Plugins that read user profile fields in metadata will see all fields every time, and plugins that write user profile fields in metadata will have no effect. These plugins should instead access fields via annotations; see the profile edit actions and forms for reference. (2567640d)
• View river/item is removed. Use elgg_view_river_item(). (313585a0)
• .elgg-body elements by default no longer stretch to fill available space in a block context. They still clear floats and allow breaking words to wrap text.

Elements matching .elgg-module, .elgg-head, and .elgg-menu-hover no longer hide overflowing content. and those matching .elgg-image, #profile-owner-block, and elgg-sidebar (inside layouts) no longer float, but are now positioned with flexbox. (afb99a20)

• Entities no longer have an isFullyLoaded() method. (231be2aa)
• User icons no longer include a hover-menu icon that's displayed on mouseover. The click event is bound to the surrounding anchor. (7601f863)
• elgg_format_url() has been removed. Use elgg_format_element() or the "output/text" view for HTML escaping. (db746843)
• The view invitefriends/form no longer exists (d322bbb6)
• Metadata and annotations name and values are no longer normalized. Metastrings related functions have been removed. (53fec72e)
• The datalists table functionality has been merged into the config table. Related datalist functions have been replace by their config equals. (adcc4974)
• Because of the removal of the multisite concept in entities, this relationship makes no sense.

Fixes #10473 (41ffbd9f)

• To be able to still provide support for MySQL 5.5 combined with InnoDB the FULLTEXT indices have been dropped. This effects how search works internally. (44d987a5)
• This breaks a lot of site_guid related features, like all the elgg_get_entities functions. Entities will no longer have a site_guid attribute.

See http://learn.elgg.org/upgrading#Elgg3.0 for more details on all the deprecated features regarding this change (45b2dcc4)

• If you were relying on group entities attribute 'username' you need to update your code, as this attribute will no longer be magically returned as 'group:<group_guid>'. (d562efbf)
• If you rely on a class check for your content, please use the PHP instanceof type operator (ca56d46d)
• This function can no longer be used. Use Elgg\Upgrade\Batch interface instead. (39455bd9)
• Stock Elgg does not need these files. If you need them, you have to adapt the config accordingly. (1f65142e)
• The event login, user is removed. (461e5e76)
• You can no longer use the system, pagesetup event (353d522a)
• This change applies the best practice to not populate password fields. If you really need to set the value of a password field, you need to set $vars['always_empty'] to false. (cde67a2c)
• htmlawed is no longer a plugin. See docs/guides/upgrading.rst. (da14997a)
• messageboard.js and elgg.messageboard are removed. The elgg/messageboard module is no longer inlined on every page. (4c8c7b68)
• likes.js and elgg.ui.likesPopupHandler are removed. The elgg/likes module is no longer inlined on every page, but is required by its menu items. (0121cee7)
• The password and hash columns are emptied in the users_entity table and no longer used. The attributes are removed from ElggUser. The function generate_new_password is also removed. (200cf6e7)
• In elgg()->getDb() (the public DB API), method getTablePrefix() is no longer available. Read the prefix property instead. (a69ecc03)
• Elgg no longer serves views via the endpoints js/ and css/. Use elgg_get_simplecache_url() to generate static view URLs. (6b0a4b89)
• ‘elgg_get_config('siteemail’)` no longer returns the site email address. (05184ae2)
• $CONFIG is no longer available as a local variable inside plugin start.php files. (c2cd81d9)
• $SESSION is removed. Use the API given by elgg_get_session() (99048a39)
• If you registered a hook on the forward you need to update your code if you checked for the 'admin' and/or 'login' reason (94ca91f2)
• 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. (1b0cc64d)
• The pages plugin no longer renders the input/write_access view. (8075fdea)
• Removes ElggFile::setFilestore, ElggFile::size, get_default_filestore, set_default_filestore, ElggDiskFilestore::makeFileMatrix, and the global var $DEFAULT_FILE_STORE. (618c79d3)
• The resources/file/download view is no longer used. (1e736aeb)

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

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

• ElggExtender::getOwner()
• ElggFileCache::create_file()
• ElggSite::getCollections()
• 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\DBAL\Driver\Statement 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.

Breaking Changes

• The CSSMin class included via minify was renamed to CSSmin. If you were referring to it with capital M, you'll have to change that to lower-case m.

However, note that Elgg's dependencies are not considered public API, so this notice is only a courtesy. Please explicitly declare your dependencies on third party vendors, even ones that you know Elgg already includes. We may remove or update them at any time. (c3b0d8bc)

• If you are checking out Elgg directly from GitHub, you will need to run composer install after git checkout to get your installation to a working state. (2e60327f)

v1.8.0 (Jackie) (September 5th, 2011)

Notes

Elgg 1.8 contains the most changes in Elgg since the transition from Elgg 0.9 to Elgg 1.0. The core team tried to make the transition as smooth as possible, but in the interest of following standards and simplifying the development process for core and third party developers, we have made changes that will require updating plugins. We believe these changes will help Elgg development be easier for everyone.

It is unreasonable and unhelpful to list the full details of all changes in this file. Instead, we will list the high level, overarching changes to systems. If you are interested in the specifics, Elgg 1.8's source code is highly documented and serves as a good guide and the git commit log can provide excruciating details of what has changed between 1.7 and 1.8.

Please post your feedback, questions, and comments to the community site at http://community.elgg.org. As always, thank you for using Elgg!

–The Elgg Core Development Team

A tip about updating plugins:

It's not difficult to update 1.7 plugins for 1.8. There is a detailed document outlining this process on the wiki: http://learn.elgg.org/en/stable/guides/upgrading.html#from-1-7-to-1-8

The basic process is:

1. Clean up the plugin to make sure it conforms to coding standards, official structure, and best practices.
2. Update any uses of deprecated functions. Functions deprecated in 1.7 will produce visible notices in 1.8!
3. Use the new manifest format.
4. Use the new menu functions.
5. Use the new JS features.
6. Update the views to use core CSS helper functions and classes instead of writing your own.

The documentation directory and the wiki has more information.

User-visible changes

• New default theme.
• New installation.
• Separate and updated admin interface.
• Updated plugin themes.

Generic API changes

• Restructured and simplified the views layouts.
• Added a new menu system.
• Added new CSS and JS file registration functions.
• Added a JS engine.
• Added a breadcrumb system.

New plugins

• Dashboard - The activity stream is now the default index page. A 1.7-style dashboard is provided through the dashboard plugin.
• Developers Plugins - Developer tools.
• Likes - Allows users to "like" other users' content.
• oAuth API - A generic, reusable oAuth library.
• Tag Cloud - A widget-based tag cloud generator.
• Twitter API - A generic Twitter library that allows signin with Twitter and pushing content to tweets. Replaces twitter_service.

Deprecated plugins

• captcha - Captchas have long since stopped being useful as a deterrent against spam.
• crontrigger - Real cron should be used.
• default_widgets - This functionality is now part of core.
• friends - This functionality is now part of core.
• riverdashboard - Displaying the river (activity stream) is default in core. The original dashboard can be restored by the new Dashboard plugin.
