Changelog

CMS

DataObject::validate() method visibility changed to public

The visibility of DataObject::validate() has been changed from protected to public.

Any existing classes that currently set this as protected should be changed like in this example:

::php
class MyDataClass extends DataObject {
	...
	public function validate() {
		...
	}
	...
}

UploadField "Select from files" shows files in all folders by default

In order to list files in a single folder by default (previous default behaviour), use setDisplayFolderName() with a folder path relative to assets/:

UploadField::create('MyField')->setDisplayFolderName('Uploads');

UploadField won't display an overwrite warning unless Upload:replaceFile is true

The configuration setting UploadField:overwriteWarning is dependent on Upload:replaceFile which is set to false by default.

To display a warning before overwriting a file:

Via config:

::yaml
Upload:
  # Replace an existing file rather than renaming the new one.
  replaceFile: true
UploadField:
  # Warning before overwriting existing file (only relevant when Upload: replaceFile is true)
  overwriteWarning: true

Or per instance:

::php
$uploadField->getUpload()->setReplaceFile(true);
$uploadField->setOverwriteWarning(true);

File.allowed_extensions restrictions

Certain file types such as swf, html, htm, xhtml and xml have been removed from the list of allowable file uploads. If your application requires the ability to upload these, you will need to append these to the File.allowed_extensions config as necessary. Also if uploading other file types, it's necessary to ensure that File.allowed_extensions includes that extension, as extensions passed to [api:UploadField] will be filtered against this list.

Removed format detection in i18n::$date_format and i18n::$time_format

Localized dates cause inconsistencies in client-side vs. server-side formatting and validation, particularly in abbreviated month names. The default date format has been changed to "yyyy-MM-dd" (e.g. 2014-12-31). New users will continue to have the option for a localized date format in their profile (based on their chosen locale). If you have existing users with Member.DateFormat set to a format including "MMM" or "MMMM", consider deleting those formats to fall back to the global (and more stable) default.

Cookies set via Cookie::set() are now HTTP only by default

Cookies set through Cookie::set() now default to "HTTP only". This means that scripting languages like JavaScript won't be able to read them.

To set it back to be non-HTTP only, you need to set the $httpOnly argument to false when calling Cookie::set().

Bugfixes

  • Migration of code to use new parameterised framework

Framework

  • Implementation of a parameterised query framework eliminating the need to manually escape variables for use in SQL queries. This has been integrated into nearly every level of the database ORM.
  • Refactor of database connectivity classes into separate components linked together through dependency injection
  • Refactor of SQLQuery into separate objects for each query type: SQLQuery, SQLDelete, SQLUpdate and SQLInsert
  • Rename of API methods to conform to coding conventions
  • PDO is now a standard connector, and is available for all database interfaces
  • Additional database and query generation tools

Bugfixes

  • Reduced database regeneration chances on subsequent rebuilds after the initial dev/build
  • Elimination of various SQL injection vulnerability points
  • DataObject::writeComponents() now called correctly during DataObject::write()
  • Fixed missing theme declaration in installer
  • Fixed incorrect use of non-existing exception classes (e.g. HTTPResponse_exception)
  • GridState fixed to distinguish between check for missing values, and creation of nested state values, in order to prevent non-empty values being returned for missing keys. This was breaking DataObject::get_by_id by passing in an object for the ID.
  • Fixed order of File fulltext searchable fields to use same order as actual fields. This is required to prevent unnecessary rebuild of MS SQL databases when fulltext searching is enabled.

Upgrading

Update code that uses SQLQuery

SQLQuery has been changed. Previously this class was used for both selecting and deleting, but deletion is now handled by the new SQLDelete class.

Additionally, 3.2 now provides SQLUpdate and SQLInsert to generate parameterised query friendly data updates.

SQLQuery, SQLDelete and SQLUpdate all inherit from SQLConditionalExpression, which implements toSelect, toDelete, and toUpdate to generate basic transformations between query types.

In the past SQLQuery->setDelete(true) would be used to turn a select into a delete, although now a new SQLDelete object should be created from the original SQLQuery.

Before:

:::php
<?php
$query = new SQLQuery('*');
$query->setFrom('"SiteTree"');
$query->setWhere('"SiteTree"."ShowInMenus" = 0');
$query->setDelete(true);
$query->execute();

After:

:::php
<?php
$query = SQLDelete::create()
	->setFrom('"SiteTree"')
	->setWhere(array('"SiteTree"."ShowInMenus"' => 0));
$query->execute();

Alternatively:

:::php
<?php
$query = SQLQuery::create()
	->setFrom('"SiteTree"')
	->setWhere(array('"SiteTree"."ShowInMenus"' => 0))
	->toDelete();
$query->execute();

Update code that interacts with SQL strings to use parameters

The Silverstripe ORM (object relation model) has moved from using escaped SQL strings to query the database, to a combination of parameterised SQL expressions alongside a related list of parameter values. As a result of this, it is necessary to assume that any SQLQuery object may, and will usually, have un-injected parameters.

All database queries performed through DataList, DataQuery and SQLQuery will continue to work, as will those through DataObject::get() (which returns a filterable DataList). However, any conditional expression that includes values escaped with Convert::raw2sql() should use the new standard syntax. This new querying standard method enforces a much higher level of security than was previously available, and all code using manual escaping should be upgraded.

See the security topic for details on why this is necessary, or the databamodel topic for more information.

As a result of this upgrade there are now very few cases where Convert::raw2sql needs to be used.

Examples of areas where queries should be upgraded are below:

  1. Querying the database directly through DB, including non-SELECT queries

    Before:

     :::php
 <?php

 // Note: No deprecation notices will be caused here
 DB::query("UPDATE \"SiteTree\" SET \"Title\" LIKE '%" . Convert::raw2sql($myTitle) . "%' WHERE \"ID\" = 1");
 $myPages = DB::query(sprintf('SELECT "ID" FROM "MyObject" WHERE "Title" = \'%s\'', Convert::raw2sql($parentTitle)));

    After:

     :::php
 <?php

 DB::prepared_query(
 	'UPDATE "SiteTree" SET "Title" LIKE ? WHERE "ID" = ?',
 	array("%{$myTitle}%", 1)
 );
 $myPages = DB::prepared_query(
 	'SELECT "ID" FROM "MyObject" WHERE "Title" = ?',
 	array($parentTitle)
 );

  2. Querying the database through DataList, DataQuery, SQLQuery, and DataObject

    Before:

     :::php
 <?php

 $items = DataObject::get_one('MyObject', '"Details" = \''.Convert::raw2sql($details).'\'');
 $things = MyObject::get()->where('"Name" = \''.Convert::raw2sql($name).'\'');
 $list = DataList::create('Banner')->where(array(
 	'"ParentID" IS NOT NULL',
 	'"Title" = \'' . Convert::raw2sql($title) . '\''
 );

    After:

     :::php
 <?php

 $items = DataObject::get_one('MyObject', array('"MyObject"."Details"' => $details));
 $things = MyObject::get()->where(array('"MyObject"."Name" = ?' => $name));
 $list = DataList::create('Banner')->where(array(
 	'"ParentID" IS NOT NULL',
 	'"Title" = ?', $title
 );

  3. Interaction with DataList::sql(), DataQuery::sql(), SQLQuery::sql(), or SQLQuery::getJoins() methods

    The place where legacy code would almost certainly fail is any code that calls DataList::sql, DataQuery::sql, SQLQuery::sqlorSQLQuery::getJoins()`, as the api requires that user code passes in an argument here to retrieve SQL parameters by value.

    User code that assumes parameterless queries will likely fail, and need to be updated to handle this case properly.

    Before:

     :::php
 <?php

 // Generate query
 $argument = 'whatever';
 $query = SQLQuery::create()
 	->setFrom('"SiteTree"')
 	->setWhere(array("\"SiteTree\".\"Title\" LIKE '" . Convert::raw2sql($argument) . "'"));

 // Inspect elements of the query
 $sql = $query->sql();
 $sql = preg_replace('/LIKE \'(.+)\'/', 'LIKE \'%${1}%\'', $sql); // Adds %% around the argument

 // Pass new query to database connector
 DB::query($sql);

    After:

     :::php
 <?php

 // Generate query
 $argument = 'whatever';
 $query = SQLQuery::create()
 	->setFrom('"SiteTree"')
 	->setWhere(array('"SiteTree"."Title" LIKE ?' => $argument));

 // Inspect elements of the query
 $sql = $query->sql($parameters);
 foreach($parameters as $key => $value) {
 	// Adds %% around arguments
 	$parameters[$key] = "%{$value}%";
 }

 // Pass new query to database connector
 // Note that DB::query($sql) would fail, as it would contain ? with missing parameters
 DB::prepared_query($sql, $parameters);

    Also note that the parameters may not be a single level array, as certain values may be forced to be cast as a certain type (where supported by the current API).

    E.g.

     :::php
 <?php

 $parameters = array(
 	10,
 	array('value' => 0, 'type' => 'boolean') // May also contain other database API specific options
 )
 DB::prepared_query('DELETE FROM "MyObject" WHERE ParentID = ? OR IsValid = ?', $parameters);

  4. Update code that interacts with the DB schema

Updating database schema is now done by updateSchema with a callback, rather than relying on user code to call beginSchemaUpdate and endSchemaUpdate around the call.

Since the schema management object is separate from the database controller you interact with it via DB::get_schema instead of DB::get_conn (previously named DB::getConn)

Before:

:::php
<?php
$conn = DB::getConn();
$conn->beginSchemaUpdate();
foreach($dataClasses as $dataClass) {
	singleton($dataClass)->requireTable();
}
$conn->endSchemaUpdate();

After:

:::php
<?php
$schema = DB::get_schema();
$schema->schemaUpdate(function() use($dataClasses){
	foreach($dataClasses as $dataClass) {
		singleton($dataClass)->requireTable();
	}
});

Also should be noted is that many functions have been renamed to conform better with coding conventions. E.g. DB::requireTable is now DB::require_table

Other

  • Helper function DB::placeholders can be used to generate a comma separated list of placeholders useful for creating "WHERE ... IN (?,...)" SQL fragments
  • Implemented Convert::symbol2sql to safely encode database and table names and identifiers. E.g. Convert::symbol2sql('table.column') => '"table"."column"';
  • Convert::raw2sql may now quote the escaped value, as well as safely escape it, according to the current database adaptor's preference.
  • DB class has been updated and many static methods have been renamed to conform to coding convention.
    • Renamed API:
      • affectedRows -> affected_rows
      • checkAndRepairTable -> check_and_repair_table
      • createDatabase -> create_database
      • createField -> createField
      • createTable -> createTable
      • dontRequireField -> dont_require_field
      • dontRequireTable -> dont_require_table
      • fieldList -> field_list
      • getConn -> get_conn
      • getGeneratedID -> get_generated_id
      • isActive -> is_active
      • requireField -> require_field
      • requireIndex -> require_index
      • requireTable -> require_table
      • setConn -> set_conn
      • tableList -> table_list
    • Deprecated API:
      • getConnect (Was placeholder for PDO connection string building code, but is made redundant after the PDOConnector being fully abstracted)
    • New API:
      • build_sql - Hook into new SQL generation code
      • get_connector (Nothing to do with getConnect)
      • get_schema
      • placeholders
      • prepared_query
  • SS_Database class has been updated and many functions have been deprecated, or refactored into the various other database classes. Most of the database management classes remain in the database controller, due to individual databases (changing, creating of, etc) varying quite a lot from API to API, but schema updates within a database itself is managed by an attached DBSchemaManager
    • Refactored into DBSchemaManager:
      • createTable
      • alterTable
      • renameTable
      • createField
      • renameField
      • fieldList
      • tableList

      • requireField
      • dontRequireField
    • Refactored into DBQueryBuilder
      • sqlQueryToString
    • Deprecated:
      • getConnect - Was intended for use with PDO, but was never implemented, and is now redundant, now that there is a stand-alone PDOConnector
      • prepStringForDB - Use quoteString instead
      • dropDatabase - Use dropSelectedDatabase
      • createDatabase - Use selectDatabase with the second parameter set to true instead
      • allDatabaseNames - Use databaseList instead
      • currentDatabase - Use getSelectedDatabase instead
      • addslashes - Use escapeString instead
  • LogErrorEmailFormatter now better displays SQL queries in errors by respecting line breaks
  • Installer has been majorly upgraded to handle the new database configuration options and additional PDO functionality.
  • Created SS_DatabaseException to emit database errors. Query information such as SQL and any relevant parameters may be used by error handling user code that catches this exception.
  • The SQLConditionGroup interface has been created to represent dynamically evaluated SQL conditions. This may be used to wrap a class that generates a custom SQL clause(s) to be evaluated at the time of execution.
  • DataObject constants CHANGE_NONE, CHANGE_STRICT, and CHANGE_VALUE have been created to provide more verbosity to field modification detection. This replaces the use of various magic numbers with the same meaning.
  • create_table_options now uses constants as API specific filters rather than strings. This is in order to promote better referencing of elements across the codebase. See FulltextSearchable->enable for example.
  • $FromEnd iterator variable now available in templates.
