CodeIgniter 2.0.0
Whats been removed Whats been deprecated Whats changed Whats new Tips for upgrading

Whats been removed

Goodbye Scaffolding
Deprecated for a number of versions Wasnt a very good implementation Has now been removed for CodeIgniter 2.0.0

Au revoir Plugins
Removed in favour of Helpers Nobody was ever sure what they were for Plugins & Helpers were too similar You should update your Plugins to Helpers

Validation Class
Deprecated since 1.7.0 More powerful Form Validation Class should be used
instead

Deprecations

PHP 4
Support now dropped for PHP 4 YAY!! New CI 2 features may not support PHP 4 All legacy features will no longer support PHP 4 as of
2.1.0

Changes...

Application Directory
How many of you move your application directory out of
the system directory?

That wont be an issue in CI2

index.php
Configuration values can now be stored here. Allows a single application to have multiple front
controllers with different configuration values.

Routing overrides now added. Limits your application to one controller.

Whats new?

Drivers
New type of library Parent class and any number of child classes CI Database Library could be a Driver

Using Drivers
$this->load->driver(driver_name); $this->driver_name->method(); $this->driver_name->subclass->subclass_method();

Packages
Allows for easy distribution of resources in a single
directory.

Can have its own library files, models, config files etc. Placed in application/third_party MojoMotor addons are packages

Creating a Package

Package File Structure

application/ third_party/ package_name/ config/ helpers/ language/ libraries/ models/

Package File Structure

Add Package Path

Before you can load a package, you need to tell the
Loader where to look for it.

$this->load>add_package_path(APPPATH.'third_party/package_n ame/');

$this->load->library(package_name);

Remove Package Path

When finished using a Packages resources. When you want to use multiple Packages. $this->load>remove_package_path(APPPATH.'third_party/packag e_name/');

Package View Files

Disclaimer: not finished Save the original view path Set the view path to that of the Package Load views, etc Set the path back to the original

// ... save the original view path, and set to our package view folder $orig_view_path = $this->load->_ci_view_path;$this->load->_ci_view_path = APPPATH.'third_party/package_name/views/';// ... code using the package's view files// ... then return the view path to the application's original view path$this->load->_ci_view_path = $orig_view_path;

Mercurial/BitBucket
In development code is now hosted on BitBucket Easier to get *your* code in the CI core Allows community to help squish bugs No SVN!! (Sorry but I really do hate Subversion)

Quick and Dirty Mercurial Tutorial

The Basics
hg init hg pull <url> hg pull <constant> hg pull <path/to/local/repo> hg update

Continued...
hg diff hg add . hg add <path/to/file> hg commit -m Commit Message hg push <url> hg push <constant>

Upgrading Tips

Upgrading your Models

CodeIgniter 1.7.2 Models extend Model CodeIgniter 2.0.0 Models extend CI_Model

Lazy mans Model Upgrade

Create a new Library file: MY_Model.php
<?php class Model extends CI_Model { function __construct() { parent::__construct(); } // construct() } // class ?>

Lazy mans Model Upgrade

Create a new Library file: MY_Model.php
<?php class Model extends CI_Model { function __construct() { parent::__construct(); } // construct() } // class ?>

Lazy mans Model Upgrade

Create a new Library file: MY_Model.php
<?php class Model extends CI_Model { function __construct() { parent::__construct(); } // construct() } // class ?>

Lazy mans Model Upgrade

Create a new Library file: MY_Model.php
<?php class Model extends CI_Model { function __construct() { parent::__construct(); } // construct() } // class ?>

Controllers
Controllers are currently unchanged Ellis Lab are evaluating changing the Controller class
from Controller to CI_Controller

Lazy mans Controller Upgrade Create a new Library file: MY_Controller.php

<?php class Controller extends CI_Controller { function __construct() { parent::__construct(); } // construct() } // class ?>

Lazy mans Controller Upgrade Create a new Library file: MY_Controller.php

<?php class Controller extends CI_Controller { function __construct() { parent::__construct(); } // construct() } // class ?>

Lazy mans Controller Upgrade Create a new Library file: MY_Controller.php

<?php class Controller extends CI_Controller { function __construct() { parent::__construct(); } // construct() } // class ?>

Lazy mans Controller Upgrade Create a new Library file: MY_Controller.php

<?php class Controller extends CI_Controller { function __construct() { parent::__construct(); } // construct() } // class ?>

Summary
Plugins, Validation Library & Scaffolding have been
removed

PHP 4 support dropped Drivers & Packages Model Class renamed Mercurial/Bitbucket
