Revision 1.7-RC2
Release 1.7-RC2 contains libraries for the use under PHP 4 and PHP 5. Please note,
that with the release 1.7-RC2 two different architecture releases are delivered to prepare the
separation of the two branches. The version was tested with versions greater than PHP 5.2.6 and <=
PHP 4.4.8. This version is meant to be installed on production systems.
Major changes to the version 1.7-RC2 are:
-
The log dir initialization was moved to the flushLogBuffer() method. The reason
for this change is, that ist is not necessary to create the log dir every time, but only when
the logger needs to flush log messages. Especially when trying the example page on local
environment, strange error messages occured before the code change. If no messages have to be
flushed, the shutdown process is much faster now.
-
The "text-only" error message was removed from the errorManager, because the page controller
classes are always present. So, the error message can always be displayed in graphical mode.
-
The initialization of the log directory was switched to absolut directory style. If you use
relative addressing, the PHP module's path interpretation is wrong under certain situations. This
leads to strange "due to directory restriction" errors. To ensure, that the logs can be written
successfully, please initialize the LogDir directive with absolute paths only.
Please have a look at
Class reference table - Logger.
for more details.
-
The <form:genericval /> tag now features a regular expression validation
option. To use the option, the validator tag attribute must contain
RegExp. Then the tag implementation uses the regular expression provided by the
second attribute (regexp) to execute the validation of the desired element. The
documentation under
Generic validator
was updated, too.
-
For this release, the myValidator's validateNumber() method
recognizes negative or float numbers as valid numbers. The validation implementation therefore
uses the PHP function is_numeric().
-
As announced in the 1.7-RC1 changelog, the getFormElementsByType() function
was removed from the html_taglib_form class.
-
The framework now features three brand new modules: captcha, genericormapper
und usermanagement. To avoid SPAM messages,
the captcha module was already added to the guestbook. For further details on the usage
of the taglib, please refer to the
CAPTCHA taglib
documentation section. The genericormapper OR mapper component is intended to store,
load and manipulate objects from a relational database. The documentation of this beta component
can be seen on the german documentation page under
Generischer OR-Mapper.
The usermanagement module is based on the generic OR mapper and includes a universal
user, group and role management. This module is beta, too. The documentation is currently created,
but not available online yet.
-
The documentation pages of the demopack were updated.
-
Bugfix to the sitemap: the englisch language page's links were not displayed correctly before.
-
To make the download package of the
My first website
tutorial running again, the code was migrated to release 1.7 style. Please note: in order to run
the example, please download a codepack release suitable for your PHP version. For details, please
have a look at the README.
-
The class html_taglib_form was added the methods
- addFormContentBeforeMarker()
- addFormContentAfterMarker()
- addFormElementBeforeMarker()
- addFormElementAfterMarker()
These functions enable you, to dynamically create forms in a comfortable way. Furthermore, the
method addFormElement() was refactored to fit the new form element creation
style. Hence, the documentation was extended by the
dynamic forms chapter.
Details on the feature discussion can be read about in the german forum under
html_taglib_placeholder gesucht.
-
The whole documentation now contains anchor links. Moreover, each documentation page now contains
a quick navigation for easy navigation.
Files with names like adventure-codepack-* only contain the framework libraries, files with
names like adventure-demopack-* the framework libraries plus a demo application and the
documentation site. For beginners it is recommended to download the demo packages. Release files with
a name like adventure-configpack-* contain a set of example configuration files.

that with the release 1.7-RC1 two different architecture releases are delivered to prepare the
separation of the two branches. The version was tested with versions greater than PHP 5.2.6 and <=

the apf::core namespace. This value containes the dynamically generated base path
to your apf code base. It can be used to address content located in the code base (e.g. images).
The value is created read only and can thus not be manipulated during runtime. Details can be
seen on the end of the basics.

Revision 1.7-BETA

separation of the two branches. The version was tested with versions greater than PHP 5.2.1 and <=

against installing it on production environments!

- The english documentation page was added some now tutorials.
-
API change to the form taglibs: the getFormElementsByType() method added in release 1.6
was renamed to getFormElementsByTagName(). The latter function does not expect the
class name of the taglib, but the tag name of the desired tags (e.g. "form::text"). In order to be
backward compatible, the beta series contains both methods. Please note, that the deprected
function will be removed by 1.7 (stable).
- The errorpage was translated into englisch language.
-
Implementation of the Registry component and removing of the ApplicationManager. Due to this
changes, adaption to the bootstrap files is necessary. Details on the migration from versions
lower than 1.7 to 1.7 can be found on the
Migration from version 1.6 to 1.7
page.
-
Implemenation of the GenerigORMappers. Please note, that the code of the mapper is not available
in this beta release, because the API is currently not stable. To receive an impression of how
the mapper can be used, please have a look at the
Generischer-OR-Mapper
(at the moment only in german language) documentation page.
-
The packaging process was changed. Packages with the architecture suffix php4
are meant to be installed on PHP 4 servers, files with php5 should be used
in PHP 5 environments and archives with noarch can be applied to any of the
both architecture types.

Another note: to guarantee perfect PHP 5 support all program components have to be imported with the
import() function. The usage of
- require()
- require_once()
- include()
- include_once()
leads to errors, because it can happen, that the wrong software components are included an PHP 5
support is not possible. Normally application parts that contain PHP 5 specific elements are located
in files that end up with .php5. The extensions are processed by the import()
function as necessary. "Normal" files are given the extension .php.
