The "J2.5" namespace is a namespace scheduled to be archived. This page contains information for a Joomla! version which is no longer supported. It exists only as a historical reference, it will not be improved and its content may be incomplete and/or contain broken links.
This documents track potential backward compatibility issues for Joomla 2.5 and Joomla Platform 11.4 which is included in Joomla 2.5. Listed are issues which potentially break extensions and newly deprecated APIs.
Please help making this document complete.
The base of this comparison is Joomla 1.7/Platform 11.2.
Backwards compatibility issues were also tracked for Joomla 1.7: Potential backward compatibility issues in Joomla 1.7 and Joomla Platform 11.1
CMS Libraries and Platform Version[edit]
JFTP[edit]
- All class members except JFTP::$instances have become private
JError[edit]
- JError::$_error has become protected
JRequest[edit]
- JRequest::_cleanArray() has been removed
JArchive[edit]
- The following class member have become private:
- JArchiveGzip:: $_flags
- JArchiveGzip:: $_data
- JArchiveTar:: $_types
- JArchiveTar:: $_flags
- JArchiveTar:: $_data
- JArchiveTar:: $_metadata
- JArchiveZip:: $_methods
- JArchiveZip:: $_ctrlDirHeader
- JArchiveZip:: $_ctrlDirEnd
- JArchiveZip:: $_fileHeader
- JArchiveZip:: $_data
JSimpleXML[edit]
- The following class members have become private:
- JSimpleXML:: $_parser
- JSimpleXML:: $_xml
- JSimpleXML:: $_stack
JComponentHelper[edit]
- In JComponentHelper::renderComponent the execution of the component is moved to the new function JComponentHelper::executeComponent. This means that a component cannot change or use any of the (internal) variables of renderComponent that might be used by the function later on, like $task or $option. Solution is to get the values, via JRequest, in the component itself.
Plug-in events[edit]
- onPrepareUserProfileData has been removed. Instead respond to onContentPrepareData with a context of com_users.profile
JUser[edit]
The Associative array of user groups for a user no longer contains the group name, but only the group id in both the key and value. The names of groups for a user can be obtained from getGroupsByUser in JAccess.
CMS[edit]
Plugin Extension Manifest for Update Servers[edit]
(as of 1.7.3) The xml extension manifest for plugins on update servers must specify the client <client>0</client> in the <update> sections. Example:
<type>plugin</type> <folder>content</folder> <client>0</client>
