eZ Platform v3.0 deprecations and backwards compatibility breaks

This page lists backwards compatibility breaks and deprecations introduced in eZ Platform v3.0.

Upgrade to v3

For a guide on moving your project to v3, see eZ Platform v3.0 project update instructions.

Symfony 5

v3.0 now uses Symfony 5 instead of Symfony 3. Refer to Symfony changelog for 4.0 and for 5.0 as well as Symfony upgrade guides for 4.0 and for 5.0 to learn about all changes it entails.

See v3.0 project update for the steps you need to take to update your project to Symfony 5. See also full requirements for installing eZ Platform.

Template configuration

Following the upgrade to Symfony 5, the templating component integration is now deprecated. As a result, the way to indicate a template path has changed.

Example 1:

  • Now: "@@EzPlatformUser/user_settings/list.html.twig"
  • Formerly: "EzPlatformUserBundle:user_settings:list.html.twig"

Example 2:

  • Now: {% extends "@EzPublishCore/content_fields.html.twig" %}
  • Formerly: {% extends "EzPublishCoreBundle::content_fields.html.twig" %}

Clustering configuration

Following the upgrade to Symfony 5, the DFS IO handler must be configured in a different way.

For more information, see the Doctrine connection configuration example in the Clustering article.

Field Types

The following tags used to register Field Type features in the service container have been renamed:

Former name New name
ezpublish.fieldType ezplatform.field_type
ezpublish.fieldType.indexable ezplatform.field_type.indexable

ezpublish.fieldType.externalStorageHandler ezplatform.field_type.external_storage_handler
ezpublish.fieldType.externalStorageHandler.gateway ezplatform.field_type.external_storage_handler.gateway

Deprecated method eZ\Publish\SPI\FieldType\FieldType::getName is now supported with a new signature similar to eZ\Publish\SPI\FieldType\Nameable::getFieldName(), which has been removed. See eZ Platform v3.0 project update for further information.

The deprecated eZ\Publish\Core\FieldType\RichText namespace has been removed, as it was moved to a separate bundle in v2.4.

The following classes and namespaces have been deprecated and dropped:

  • eZ\Publish\SPI\FieldType\EventListener
  • eZ\Publish\SPI\FieldType\Event
  • eZ\Publish\SPI\FieldType\Events\**

Configuration through ezplatform

In YAML configuration, ezplatform is now used instead of ezpublish as the main configuration key.

Installers

Custom Installers

The following Symfony Service definitions that provide extension point to create custom installers have been removed:

  • ezplatform.installer.clean_installer
  • ezplatform.installer.db_based_installer

Enterprise Edition installer

The ezstudio.installer.studio_installer service has been renamed to the FQCN-named service EzSystems\EzPlatformEnterpriseEditionInstallerBundle\Installer\Installer. Deprecated ezplatform.ee.installer.class service container parameter has been removed.

  • \eZ\Publish\SPI\Persistence\Content\Handler::removeTranslationFromContent

Dynamic settings

Using dynamic settings (through $setting$) and getting settings from the ConfigResolver in a class constructor or method call has been dropped.

You should use the ConfigResolver instead. Do not store the values globally. Every time the value is needed call ConfigResolverInterface::getParameter.

Controllers

AbstractController

The eZ\Bundle\EzPublishCoreBundle\Controller now extends Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController instead of Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller which has limited access to the service container. For details, see Service Subscribers Locators.

The Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Command\ContainerAwareCommand is deprecated, use Symfony\Component\Console\Command\Command instead.

ViewController

Deprecated viewLocation and embedLocation actions of the ViewController have been removed, along with related route _ezpublishLocation. Use:

  • viewAction instead of viewLocation
  • embedAction instead of embedLocation

Experimental, deprecated and unsupported code for Elastic Search 1.4.2 has been dropped from kernel, to be replaced with a dedicated bundle for the latest Elastic version in the future.

Field Types

Star Rating

The unused ezsrrating Field Type has been removed along with the related database storage and clean installation entries.

RichText

The ezrichtext Field Type has been removed from ezplatform-kernel. Use ezplatform-richtext instead.

Following this change:

  • The eZ\Publish\Core\FieldType\RichText namespace has been dropped. All classes are available in ezplatform-richtext.
  • The only correct configuration (recommended as of v2.4) looks the following way:

Now (as of v3.0):

1
ezrichtext:

Formerly (deprecated as of v2.4, removed as of v3.0)

1
2
ezpublish:
    ezrichtext

Tags

Deprecated ezpublish.query_type tag has been removed in favour of ezplatform.query_type tag.

Signal Slots

Signal Slots have been replaced by Symfony Events and Event Listeners.

The application triggers two Events per operation: one before and one after the relevant thing happens (see for example Bookmark events).

Legacy Storage Gateways

The following deprecated (since v6.11) Legacy Storage Gateways have been removed:

  • eZ\Publish\Core\FieldType\BinaryFile\BinaryBaseStorage\Gateway\LegacyStorage
  • eZ\Publish\Core\FieldType\BinaryFile\BinaryFileStorage\Gateway\LegacyStorage
  • eZ\Publish\Core\FieldType\MapLocation\MapLocationStorage\Gateway\LegacyStorage
  • eZ\Publish\Core\FieldType\Image\ImageStorage\Gateway\LegacyStorage
  • eZ\Publish\Core\FieldType\Keyword\KeywordStorage\Gateway\LegacyStorage
  • eZ\Publish\Core\FieldType\Media\MediaStorage\Gateway\LegacyStorage
  • eZ\Publish\Core\FieldType\Url\UrlStorage\Gateway\LegacyStorage
  • eZ\Publish\Core\FieldType\User\UserStorage\Gateway\LegacyStorage

Use DoctrineStorage Gateways from the same namespace instead. The removed classes refer to External Storage for core Field Types only.

REST server

Transfer of REST code from kernel to a separate package results in the following change:

  • The eZ\Publish\Core\REST and eZ\Publish\Core\REST\Common\ namespaces have been replaced by EzSystems\EzPlatformRest.
  • REST client has been dropped.

SiteAccess-aware Repository

The Repository now uses the SiteAccess-aware layer by default. This means Repository objects will now be loaded in the translation corresponding to the SiteAccess. To load an object with all its translations, explicitly pass eZ\Publish\API\Repository\Values\Content\Language::ALL as the prioritized languages list.

SiteAccess matching

When matching SiteAccesses using custom services, the SiteAccess matcher service must be now tagged with ezplatform.siteaccess.matcher.

Search Indexers

Service Provider abstracts for Search Engine Indexer implementations (\eZ\Publish\Core\Search\Common\IncrementalIndexer and \eZ\Publish\Core\Search\Common\Indexer) now accept \Doctrine\DBAL\Connection $connection instead of \eZ\Publish\Core\Persistence\Database\DatabaseHandler $databaseHandler. Inject them via @ezpublish.persistence.connection.

The methods getContentLocationIds and logWarning of \eZ\Publish\Core\Search\Common\Indexer have been dropped. Use Location SPI Persistence Handler in place of getContentLocationIds. Use Logger directly in place of logWarning.

Database

The following obsolete tables have been removed from the database schema:

  • ezapprove_items
  • ezbasket
  • ezcollab_group
