Overview

Upgrading

Grouped CMS Buttons

The CMS buttons are now grouped, in order to hide minor actions by default and declutter the interface. This required changing the form field structure from a simple FieldList to a FieldList which contains a CompositeField for all "major actions", and a TabSet with a single tab for all "minor actions". If you have previously added, removed or altered built-in CMS actions in any way, you'll need to adjust your code.

:::php
class MyPage extends Page {
	function getCMSActions() {
		$actions = parent::getCMSActions();

		// Inserting a new toplevel action (old)
		$actions->push(new FormAction('MyAction')); 

		// Inserting a new toplevel action (new)
		$actions->insertAfter(new FormAction('MyAction'), 'MajorActions');

		// Removing an action, both toplevel and nested (no change required)
		$actions->removeByName('action_unpublish'); 

		// Inserting a new minor action (new)
		$actions->addFieldToTab(
			'Root.ActionMenus.MoreOptions',
			new FormAction('MyMinorAction')
		);

		// Finding a toplevel action (no change required)
		$match = $actions->dataFieldByName('action_save');

		// Finding a nested action (new)
		$match = $actions->fieldByName('ActionMenus.MoreOptions')
			->fieldByName('action_MyMinorAction'); 

		return $actions;
	}
}

Other

• TableListField, ComplexTableField, TableField, HasOneComplexTableField, HasManyComplexTableField and ManyManyComplexTableField have been removed from the core and placed into a module called "legacytablefields" located at https://github.com/silverstripe-labs/legacytablefields
• prototype.js and behaviour.js have been removed from the core, they are no longer used. If you have custom code relying on these two libraries, please update your code to include the files yourself
• Object::has_extension() and Object::add_extension() deprecated in favour of using late static binding, please use {class}::has_extension() and {class}::add_extension() instead, where {class} is the class name of your DataObject class.
• Removed SiteTree.MetaTitle and SiteTree.MetaKeywords since they are irrelevant in terms of SEO (1, 2) and general page informancy
• Deprecated Profiler class, use third-party solutions like xhprof
• Removed defunct or unnecessary debug GET parameters: debug_profile, debug_memory, profile_trace, debug_javascript, debug_behaviour
• Removed Member_ProfileForm, use CMSProfileController instead
• SiteTree::$nested_urls enabled by default. To disable, call SiteTree::disable_nested_urls().
• Removed CMS permission checks from File->canEdit() and File->canDelete(). If you have unsecured controllers relying on these permissions, please override them through a DataExtension.
• Moved email bounce handling to new "emailbouncehandler" module, including Email_BounceHandler and Email_BounceRecord classes, as well as the Member->Bounced property.
• Deprecated global email methods htmlEmail() and plaintextEmail, as well as various email helper methods like encodeMultipart(). Use the Email API, or the Mailer class where applicable.
• Removed non-functional $inlineImages option for sending emails
• Removed support for keyed arrays in SelectionGroup, use new SelectionGroup_Item object to populate the list instead (see API docs).
• FormField->setDescription() now renders in a <span class="description"> by default, rather than a title attribute * Removed Form->Name(): Use getName()
• Removed FormField->setContainerFieldSet(): Use setContainerFieldList()
• Removed FormField->rootFieldSet(): Use rootFieldList()
• Removed Group::map(): Use DataList::("Group")->map()
• Removed Member->generateAutologinHash(): Tokens are no longer saved directly into the database in plaintext. Use the return value of the Member::generateAutologinTokenAndHash to get the token
• Removed Member->sendInfo(): use Member_ChangePasswordEmail or Member_ForgotPasswordEmail directly
• Removed SQLMap::map(): Use DataList::("Member")->map()
• Removed SQLMap::mapInGroups(): Use Member::map_in_groups()
• Removed PasswordEncryptor::register()/unregister(): Use config system instead
• Methods on DataList and ArrayList that used to both modify the existing list & return a new version now just return a new version. Make sure you change statements like $list->filter(...) to $list = $list->filter(...) for these methods:
  • ArrayList#reverse
  • ArrayList#sort
  • ArrayList#filter
  • ArrayList#exclude
  • DataList#where
  • DataList#limit
  • DataList#sort
  • DataList#addFilter
  • DataList#applyFilterContext
  • DataList#innerJoin
  • DataList#leftJoin
  • DataList#find
  • DataList#byIDs
  • DataList#reverse
• DataList#dataQuery has been changed to return a clone of the query, and so can't be used to modify the list's query directly. Use DataList#alterDataQuery instead to modify dataQuery in a safe manner.
