Upgrading Instructions for Yii Framework v2 =========================================== !!!IMPORTANT!!! The following upgrading instructions are cumulative. That is, if you want to upgrade from version A to version C and there is version B between A and C, you need to following the instructions for both A and B. Upgrade from Yii 2.0 Beta ------------------------- * If you used `clearAll()` or `clearAllAssignments()` of `yii\rbac\DbManager`, you should replace them with `removeAll()` and `removeAllAssignments()` respectively. * If you created RBAC rule classes, you should modify their `execute()` method by adding `$user` as the first parameter: `execute($user, $item, $params)`. The `$user` parameter represents the ID of the user currently being access checked. Previously, this is passed via `$params['user']`. * If you override `yii\grid\DataColumn::getDataCellValue()` with visibility `protected` you have to change visibility to `public` as visibility of the base method has changed. * If you have classes implementing `yii\web\IdentityInterface` (very common), you should modify the signature of `findIdentityByAccessToken()` as `public static function findIdentityByAccessToken($token, $type = null)`. The new `$type` parameter will contain the type information about the access token. For example, if you use `yii\filters\auth\HttpBearerAuth` authentication method, the value of this parameter will be `yii\filters\auth\HttpBearerAuth`. This allows you to differentiate access tokens taken by different authentication methods. * If you are sharing the same cache across different applications, you should configure the `keyPrefix` property of the cache component to use some unique string. Previously, this property was automatically assigned with a unique string. * If you are using `dropDownList()`, `listBox()`, `activeDropDownList()`, or `activeListBox()` of `yii\helpers\Html`, and your list options use multiple blank spaces to format and align option label texts, you need to specify the option `encodeSpaces` to be true. * If you are using `yii\grid\GridView` and have configured a data column to use a PHP callable to return cell values (via `yii\grid\DataColumn::value`), you may need to adjust the signature of the callable to be `function ($model, $key, $index, $widget)`. The `$key` parameter was newly added in this release. * `yii\console\controllers\AssetController` is now using hashes instead of timestamps. Replace all `{ts}` with `{hash}`. * The database table of the `yii\log\DbTarget` now needs a `prefix` column to store context information. You can add it with `ALTER TABLE log ADD COLUMN prefix TEXT AFTER log_time;`. * The `fileinfo` PHP extension is now required by Yii. If you use `yii\helpers\FileHelper::getMimeType()`, make sure you have enabled this extension. This extension is [builtin](http://www.php.net/manual/en/fileinfo.installation.php) in php above `5.3`. * Please update your main layout file by adding this line in the `` section: ``. This change is needed because `yii\web\View` no longer automatically generates CSRF meta tags due to issue #3358. * If your model code is using the `file` validation rule, you should rename its `types` option to `extensions`. * `MailEvent` class has been moved to the `yii\mail` namespace. You have to adjust all references that may exist in your code. * The behavior and signature of `ActiveRecord::afterSave()` has changed. `ActiveRecord::$isNewRecord` will now always be false in afterSave and also dirty attributes are not available. This change has been made to have a more consistent and expected behavior. The changed attributes are now available in the new parameter of afterSave() `$changedAttributes`. `$changedAttributes` contains the old values of attributes that had changed and were saved. * `ActiveRecord::updateAttributes()` has been changed to not trigger events and not respect optimistic locking anymore to differentiate it more from calling `update(false)` and to ensure it can be used in `afterSave()` without triggering infinite loops. * If you are developing RESTful APIs and using an authentication method such as `yii\filters\auth\HttpBasicAuth`, you should explicitly configure `yii\web\User::enableSession` in the application configuration to be false to avoid starting a session when authentication is performed. Previously this was done automatically by authentication method. * `mail` component was renamed to `mailer`, `yii\log\EmailTarget::$mail` was renamed to `yii\log\EmailTarget::$mailer`. Please update all references in the code and config files. * `yii\caching\GroupDependency` was renamed to `TagDependency`. You should create such a dependency using the code `new \yii\caching\TagDependency(['tags' => 'TagName'])`, where `TagName` is similar to the group name that you previously used. * `yii\rbac\PhpManager` now stores data in three separate files instead of one. In order to convert old file to new ones save the following code as `convert.php` that should be placed in the same directory your `rbac.php` is in: ```php $data) { if (isset($data['assignments'])) { foreach ($data['assignments'] as $userId => $assignmentData) { $assignments[$userId] = $assignmentData['roleName']; } unset($data['assignments']); } $items[$name] = $data; } } $rules = []; if (isset($oldData['rules'])) { $rules = $oldData['rules']; } saveToFile($items, $itemsFile); saveToFile($assignments, $assignmentsFile); saveToFile($rules, $rulesFile); echo "Done!\n"; ``` Run it once, delete `rbac.php`. If you've configured `authFile` property, remove the line from config and instead configure `itemFile`, `assignmentFile` and `ruleFile`. * Static helper `yii\helpers\Security` has been converted into an application component. You should change all usage of its methods to a new syntax, for example: instead of `yii\helpers\Security::hashData()` use `Yii::$app->getSecurity()->hashData()`. Default encryption and hash parameters has been upgraded. If you need to decrypt/validate data that was encrypted/hashed before, use the following configuration of the 'security' component: ``` return [ 'components' => [ 'security' => [ 'cryptBlockSize' => 16, 'cryptKeySize' => 24, 'derivationIterations' => 1000, 'deriveKeyStrategy' => 'hmac', // for PHP version < 5.5.0 //'deriveKeyStrategy' => 'pbkdf2', // for PHP version >= 5.5.0 'useDeriveKeyUniqueSalt' => false, ], // ... ], // ... ]; ```
