Upgrading eZ Platform to v3.0¶

The following upgrade documentation describes how to upgrade eZ Platform from v2.5 to v3.0.

If you are upgrading from a version lower than v2.5, follow the standard update procedure first. Do not proceed with an upgrade to v3.0 before you complete an update to v2.5.

Familiarize yourself with a new project structure¶

Tip

If you are running into issues, for details on all changes related to the switch to Symfony 5, see Symfony upgrade guide for 4.0 and for 5.0

The latest Symfony versions changed the organization of your project into folders and bundles. When updating to eZ Platform v3 you need to move your files and modify file paths and namespace references.

Project structure changes in v3

Configuration¶

Configuration files have been moved from app/Resources/config to config. Package-specific configuration is placed in config/packages (e.g. config/packages/ezplatform_admin_ui.yaml). This folder also contains config/packages/ezplatform.yaml, which contains all settings coming in from Kernel.

PHP code and bundle organization¶

Since Symfony 4 src/ code is no longer organized in bundles, AppBundle has been removed from the default eZ Platform install. In order to adapt, you'll need to move all your PHP code, such as controllers or event listeners, to the src folder and use the App namespace for your custom code instead.

How to make AppBundle continue to work, for now

Refactoring bundles for src/ folder can involve extensive changes, if you want to make your src/AppBundle continue to work, follow an Autoloading src/AppBundle guide on Symfony Casts.

You can also follow Using a "path" Repository guide, to create a composer path repository. If you have several bundles you can move them into a packages/ directory and load them all with:

1
2
3

"repositories": [
    { "type": "path", "url": "packages/*" },
],

Once you are ready to refactor the code to App namespace, follow Bye Bye AppBundle article.

View templates¶

Templates are no longer stored in app/Resources/views. You need to move all your templates to the templates folder in your project's root.

Translations¶

Translation files have been moved out of app/Resources/translations into translations in your project's root.

`web` and assets¶

Content of the web folder is now placed in public. Content of app/Resources/assets has been moved to assets.

Note

You also need to update paths that refer to the old location, for example in webpack.config.js.
