Description

This package is designed to prepare existing SMF 2.1 modifications for the upcoming migration to SMF 3.0.

The included utility classes eliminate the need for global variables in your modification code.

As a result, your mods will be compatible with both SMF 2.1 and 3.0 with minimal adjustments.

Installation

In your modification's root directory, execute:

composer require bugo/smf-compat

Then, include autoload.php in app.php (or a similar entry point):

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

Usage

Legacy code

<?php

class Example
{
    public function method1()
    {
        global $txt;

        var_dump($txt['hello_world']);
    }

    public function method2()
    {
        global $user_info, $modSettings;

        var_dump($user_info['name']);

        var_dump($modSettings);
    }
}

New code

<?php

use Bugo\Compat\Lang;
use Bugo\Compat\User;
use Bugo\Compat\Config;

class Example
{
    public function method1()
    {
        var_dump(Lang::$txt['hello_world']);
    }

    public function method2()
    {
        var_dump(User::$me->name);

        var_dump(Config::$modSettings);
    }
}

After upgrading to SMF 3.0, you only need to replace the class references. For example:

-use Bugo\Compat\Lang;
+use SMF\Lang;
-use Bugo\Compat\User;
+use SMF\User;
-use Bugo\Compat\Config;
+use SMF\Config;
-use Bugo\Compat\Db;
+use SMF\Db\DatabaseApi as Db;
// etc.

Alternatively, you can leave the code as is. In this case, your modification will maintain compatibility with both SMF versions.

List of suggested replacements

Below is a non-exhaustive list of variable and function mappings.

Global variables

Functions

SSI functions

All functions in SSI.php that were called via ssi_function_name prior to SMF 3.0 are now accessed as ServerSideIncludes::function_name.

Working with the database

In compatibility mode, you can still use Utils::$smcFunc['db_query'], etc. However, we have also introduced a new DatabaseApi class, which features a static property $db representing the current database engine. The methods of this class correspond to the functions in Utils::$smcFunc, but without the db_ prefix. Here are examples of three commonly used functions:

Examples of Integration

• Optimus 3.0
• SMF Tracy Debugger
• Light Portal
