2.1 to 2.2 Upgrading

All functionality from the Config and Log classes has moved to the core Kohana class. See Kohana

Replace these in your code:

• Config::item with Kohana::config
• Config::set with Kohana::config_set
• Config::load with Kohana::config_load
• Config::clear with Kohana::config_clear
• Log::add with Kohana::log
• Log::write with Kohana::log_save
• Log::directory with Kohana::log_directory

• Changes to config/config.php:
  • site_domain - Changed. Defaults to kohana/ You may need to change this to a full domain localhost/kohana/
  • internal_cache - New. Defaults is FALSE
  • enable_hooks - New. Default is FALSE Moved from config/hooks.php
  • log_threshold - New. Default is 1 Moved from config/log.php
  • log_directory - New. Default is APPPATH.logs Moved from config/log.php
  • preload - Removed. You need to manually instance any libraries you had listed.
• Changes to config/cookie.php:
  • prefix - Removed.
• Changes to config/session.php:
  • storage - Changed. You need to pass parameters for the database and cache drivers. See Session
• Changes to config/database.php:
  • connection - Changed. Parameters are passed as an array with discrete entries. The old DSN style may still be used.
  • escape - New. Default is TRUE Switch query builder automatic escaping on or off.
• Changes to config/routes.php:
  • _allowed - Removed.
  • Shortcuts are removed, use a regular expression. See Routing

Note1: Config files config/log.php and config/hooks.php are removed. Now configured in core config

media controller has been removed.

Special Methods _default and _remap are replace by _ _call($method, $arguments) see Controllers

By default, a 404 error will be triggered if a non-existent controller method is called, and _ _call is defined. You may override this behaviour in your method.

To simulate _remap The _call method should be the only method in the controller.

Loader library has been removed. $this→load('something') syntax is obsolete and invalid.

Libraries and models must now be created using the following syntax: $example = new Example(); and $example = new Example_Model();

Where possible and applicable, use Factories to instance libraries, and reference library objects via their instance:

• $template = View::factory('admin')→set('title', $title')→render();

• $myname = Session::instance()→get('myname')

• Pagination - create_links() method has been renamed to render()
• Validation - Completely new implementation, new docs in progress, for now see http://forum.kohanaphp.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=872&page=1#Item_0
• ORM - A new implementation, new docs in progress.
