New Features:

  • If you are not using the installer, add $config['bonfire.installed'] = "1"; to /application/config/application.php.
  • Added Template::setSessionUse($useSession = true), deprecated Template::$ignore_session. Note that the parameter accepted by setSessionUse() would be the opposite value of that used with $ignore_session.
  • Added form_validation->reset_validation() support for CI 2 (in BF_Form_Validation, in CI 3 the method calls the parent method, in case of any future changes).
  • Added \application\language\english\bf_form_validation_lang.php to store custom form validation language entries. This file is automatically loaded by the BF_Form_validation library when calling $this->form_validation->run().

Closes Issues:

  • #1110 BF_Form_validation not loaded in CI3
  • #1109 Mobule Builder not using lang(module_field_name) for create/edit views.
  • #1108 Can't create new user using CI3

  • #1103 Installation using CI 3.0 fails due to use of sessions before CI 3 session table is created.
  • #1033 Email sending test makes subnav bar crash

Additional Changes:

  • Upgraded CI to v2.2.2.
  • Fixes an issue when creating new roles which caused permissions to modify the new role not to be created/added to the admin/current user.
  • Fixes issues with Emailer not displaying saved settings properly.
  • Fixes issues with Add/Remove Shortcuts in UI module.
  • Fixes result of BF_Model->update_batch() when the update completed successfully in CI 3, or failed in CI 2.
  • Database module:

    • Fixed display of validation errors on backup.
    • Added message indicating user submitted index with the separator selected in the dropdown.
  • CI 3 compatibility improvements:

    • Fix Runtime Notice for Users Settings: Only variables should be passed by reference.
    • Don't use $this->load->driver('session'), and don't check for the CI version before loading the session library.
    • Normalize the output of uri->ruri_string() before checking it in App_hooks (may be needed elsewhere).
    • Fix loading of BF_-prefixed libraries when a MY_-prefixed library is not present.
    • Don't display developer documentation for modules in the application docs.
  • Installer improvements:

    • Updated a number of migrations to remove session use.
    • Removed session from autoload.
    • bonfire.installed setting added to application config by the installer.
    • App_hooks disables session use when bonfire.installed is not found.

Known Issues:

0.7.2

New Features:

  • In CI 2.x, uses bfmysqli database driver (a modified version of the mysqli driver) by default.
  • CommonMark support in Docs

  • Added BF_directory_helper:

    • bcDirectoryMap() function provides the same output as CI2's directory_map() function. This was used primarily to make the Modules library and various portions of the translate module work properly in CI3.
    • In the long term, both the Modules library and translate module should be updated with more robust path/directory name handling, which would make this function unnecessary.

Closes Issues:

  • #337 Can not login to admin when site is turned off (previously closed as non-issue, now fixed).
  • #357 Custom Message When Site is Off/Closed
  • #793 Wrong timezone setting (use site.default_user_timezone setting when $user->timezone is unavailable, instead of the admin's timezone).
  • #603 Documentation updated to note the potential for before_/after_user_update events to receive an array in the user_id field, and for that field to potentially not include the user's ID.
  • #565 render_user_form in the admin doesnt pass the payload.
  • #1082 Strip '.php' extension from module config files in config_file_helper's read_config() function when the file is found by Modules::file_path().
  • #1085 s key submits forms automatically
  • #1087 Country dropdown in extended settings doesn't update state dropdown
  • #1089 Fix error deleting roles for permissions during permission_model->update()
  • #1097, 1081 Installer looks for database configuration only in /application/config/development/database.php

Additional Changes:

  • Upgraded CI to v2.2.1
  • Improved support for CI 3.:

    • Renamed controller, library, and model files to uppercase first letter.
    • Added support for loading controller and model files named with uppercase first letter.
    • Accept null or false return from config->item() when config file has not been loaded.
    • Replaced use of router->fetch_directory() and router->fetch_class() with router->directory and router->class, respectively.
    • Replaced random_string('unique', ...) with random_string('md5',...).
    • Replaced read_file() with file_get_contents().
    • Replaced do_hash() with sha1().
    • Added Constants from CI 3 to /application/config/constants.php (primarily EXIT_* constants).
  • Removed mdash entities in documentation for "Submitting Bug Reports and Feature Requests" and updated link in Readme
  • Profiler now displays boolean values in config section (displayed values are retrieved from the application_lang file, 'bf_profiler_true' and 'bf_profiler_false').
  • Added support for socket connections (prefixed with /) to bfmysqli database driver, similar to mysqli driver socket support in CI3.
  • jwerty (keyboard shortcuts):

    • Updated URL for jwerty.
    • Updated jwerty.js to version 0.3.2.
  • Added $allowOffline array to /application/hooks/App_hooks.php to configure pages which are allowed to bypass the site offline functionality. As long as '/users/login' is in this list, users with the correct permissions will be able to log in and bring the site back online. If a user does not have the correct permission, and no additional pages have been added to the list, they will still see the contents of the /application/errors/offline.php file once they log in to the site. If you want to disable user logins while the site is offline, set this variable to an empty array. Just make sure you don't log out of the site after setting it offline, or you will have to update the database to get the site back online.
  • Application Helper:

    • is_https():

      • Added is_https() function from CI 3's core/Common functions to ensure checks for use of https are consistent and accurate.
      • Modified gravatar_link() function to use is_https().
      • Modified the Assets library to use is_https() (in external_js() and find_files()).
      • Did not modify CI 2 core classes to use it, but it could be useful in core/Config and core/Security. One possibility would be to override csrf_set_cookie() in /bonfire/core/BF_Security.php.
    • Modified list_contexts() to call Contexts:getContexts(), keeping the functionality of determining required and available contexts within the Contexts library.
  • UI/Contexts Library:

    • Deprecated set_contexts() and get_contexts() (use setContexts() and getContexts()).
    • When using setContexts() in place of set_contexts(), be aware that the behavior has changed slightly:

      • when omitting the second argument ($siteArea), setContexts() will not change the internal $site_area variable, while set_contexts() would set it to SITE_AREA. (SITE_AREA is still the default value for the internal variable.)
      • setContexts() will add the required contexts if they are not included in the first argument.
    • getContexts() allows an optional first argument to only return contexts with landing pages (the functionality from the application_helper's list_contexts() function).
    • Modified internal access of the self::$contexts array to use self::getContexts() and self::setContexts().
  • Language improvements:

    • CI Language files adapted from https://github.com/bcit-ci/codeigniter3-translations (official CI3 translations repository)
    • DB files modified to use db_unsupported_compression and db_unsupported_feature (instead of db_unsuported_*) and FTP library modified to use ftp_unable_to_mkdir instead of ftp_unable_to_makdir, so other language files may be pulled down from the official CI3 translations.
    • Updated form_validation_lang files to allow use with either CI 2 or 3.
    • Changed language prefix for emailer module from em_ to emailer_.
    • Fixed russian language support for activities, logs, and sysinfo modules. Added russian language support to builder.
    • Changed language prefix for translate module from tr_ to translate_.

Known Issues:

0.7.1

New Features:

  • Composer Auto-loading may be enabled by setting 'composer_autoload' to true (or the path to the autoload.php file) in /application/config/config.php. Please be aware that this currently requires hooks to be enabled and the App_hooks->checkAutoloaderConfig() method must be included in the pre_controller hooks in /application/config/hooks.php.
  • Now works with Sparks out of the box.
  • Brand new documentation system that allows splitting your user and dev-related docs, and searching docs.
  • Added bfmysqli driver to support more features in the MySQLi driver without changing the codeigniter driver. Set $db['dbdriver'] = 'bfmysqli'; in the database config, configure the other settings as you would for the mysqli driver.
  • Images controller can reference images from a module using the module=... parameter.
  • Template class now provides a check_segment helper in addition to check_class and check_method.
  • CSRF protection can be bypassed for individual controllers by setting csrf_ignored_controllers setting in the site's main index file.
  • Added 'languages_available' and 'database_types' to Module Builder's configurable options. languages_available tells the builder which language files to attempt to build for a new module. database_types gives the builder some information about the types supported by the database, and is used in generating the "Database Type" select on the module builder form, as well as handling several other aspects of building the module.

Closes Issues:

  • #1078 - Module Builder form's script would fail if other scripts using localStorage used URLs for keys. Failure of the script would cause collapsing areas in the form to stop functioning. DataTables v1.10 would cause this issue if the saveState option was enabled.

  • #926 - Application helper iif issue
  • #922 - Type of MY_Model update_where() method

Additional Changes:

  • Updated CodeIgniter to version 2.2
  • Updated list of countries in /application/config/address.php and added state codes for a few more countries.
  • Separated all Bonfire code from your Application's code
  • Most Bonfire-specific code now uses a BF_ prefix instead of the MY_ prefix your application would use.
  • Removed Settings related to the previously removed Updates module
  • The user register form can be modified to include hidden fields named register_url and login_url that will override the current REGISTER_URL and LOGIN_URL values, respectively, to make it simpler to use the existing logic in custom modules.
  • Added 4th parameter to timezone_menu in the date helper to allow passing additional attributes, such as an ID, for the generated select element. Updated the user_fields view to make sure of this parameter (and fix an accessibility error on the view).
  • Application Helper:

    • The module_* methods in the application_helper have been moved to the Modules class. The application_helper methods are still there but are deprecated.
    • Deprecated form_has_error() method since CI's form_error() does the same thing.
  • Assets Library:

    • Replaced Assets::$asset_base, Assets::$asset_cache_folder, and Assets::$asset_folders with a single Assets::$directories array (these were not deprecated because they were private properties). Allow a config item ('assets.directories') to set the value of the new property, but if it is not set the library will attempt to use the old config items ('assets.base_folder', 'assets.cache_folder', and 'assets.asset_folders').
    • Added closures to hold the functions for CSS/JS minification, which should facilitate swapping out the libraries that perform these functions in the future.
    • Deprecated Assets::set_globals(), Assets::$external_scripts, Assets::$inline_scripts, and Assets::$module_scripts. Replaced by Assets::setGlobals() and Assets::$scripts['external']/Assets::$scripts['inline']/Assets::$scripts['module']
  • Database module:

    • Added support for bfmysqli driver.
    • Changed language files to use database_ prefix instead of db_ prefix to prevent conflicts with CodeIgniter's language files.
    • Moved CSS out of the views.
  • Docs:

    • Docs system is much more robust now, including link fixing, separating application/developer docs in the UI, a basic search system, and more.
    • Added configuration options to docs module to set the environments in which the docs will be displayed and the name of the toc file.
    • Fixed an issue in the docs module that prevented the sidebar links from building properly for application or developer docs if a toc file was not used.
  • Migrations:

    • The Migrations library now only requests version information which hasn't previously been retrieved by the library on the current request (2 static properties maintain the library's schema version and the current versions of the modules and the app/core migrations).
    • Significantly reduced the impact of using migrate.auto_core and migrate.auto_app when multiple controllers are loaded which inherit from Base_Controller.
    • Improved the load time of the migrations view (especially when a large number of modules are installed).
    • Fixed an error in the version() method when an error occurred in glob() while retrieving the migrations for a given step (see comment in the code for more details).
    • When running multiple migrations, only update the version in the database once.
    • Reduced the number of methods in the library with knowledge of the database table's structure.
    • Overhauled the library's API:

      • Added:

        • getErrorMessage() - return the most recent error message
        • getErrors() - return all errors
        • getModuleVersions() - retrieve the current version of all modules in one call
        • Migrations::APP_MIGRATION_PREFIX constant - the prefix used for app migrations ('app_')
        • Migrations::CORE_MIGRATIONS constant - the migration type used for core migrations ('core')
        • Migrations::MAX_SCHEMA_VERSION - the maximum version of the schema_version table supported by the library (3)
      • Deprecated (all of the below still work, but eventually will be removed, their performance may also be degraded, as the methods are now pass-throughs to the new methods):

        • $error property (use getErrorMessage())
        • auto_latest() - use autoLatest()
        • do_sql_migration() - use doSqlMigration()
        • get_available_versions() - use getAvailableVersions()
        • get_latest_version() - use getVersion($type, true)
        • get_schema_version() - use getVersion($type)
        • set_verbose() - use setVerbose()
  • Translations:

    • Partial Russian and Italian translations.
    • Many improvements to the Brazilian Portugeuse language handling.
    • Improved support for translations in the Activities, Builder, Logs, Sysinfo, and UI modules.
  • Template Library:

    • Added setLayout() and getLayout() methods, deprecated the public $layout property (it will become private or protected in a future version).

Known Issues:

  • If a module is named 'application' or 'developer', the docs module won't be able to generate links to any documents which reside in that module.

0.7.0

  • Minimum PHP version changed to 5.3
  • Updated CodeIgniter to version 2.1.4
  • Updated Bootstrap to version 2.3.2
  • Updated .htaccess sections taken from html5boilerplate, supporting the new Apache 2.4.
  • Updated jwerty to version 0.3.1 (seems to fix issue where creating a shortcut for '&' kills keyboard input on all admin pages)

New Features:

  • New Folder Structure
  • The password hash changes from SHA1 (salted, but not iterated) to phpass libraries. When on PHP 5.3 or with the Suhosin patch installed, Blowfish encryption is used. If bcrypt is not available, will fallback to extended DES-based hashes, or even to phpass' provided (but slower) hash method, if necessary.
  • MY_Model now supports Observer methods that allow your model to more easily hook into the default operations without having to rewrite the code.
  • MY_Model now supports protecting attributes so they can never be set or updated.
  • MY_Model handles return types differently now. Instead of passing to the functions, it's a class var that each model can set. Defaults to object. Can use new scope methods 'as_array', 'as_object()' and 'as_json()' within a call to change the output type temporarily.
  • Template library's parser now includes the Lex template language when $parse_views == TRUE in the Template.php library.
  • Added get_filenames_by_extension() method to the file helper.
  • MY_Controller file no longer used as we have split each controller into their own class file in application/core. This allows the HMVC autoloader to find them for us, and frees up the MY_Controller file for end-user only use.
  • New front-end theme that is simply the latest Bootstrap theme with a couple of small minor tweaks.
  • log_activity helper function included in the application helper. This removes the need for autoloading the activity model and also allows logging of activities to be turned off.
  • New constants LOGIN_URL and REGISTER_URL are used in place throughout the site to make it easy to change the login and registration URLs.
  • New docs system that provides basic methods for packaging documentation with your modules and application using Markdown formatted text files.

  • #674 - user meta should fallback to current-user if no user provided
  • #672 - user meta is considered "empty" if the value is "0"
  • #678 - save_meta_for returns void, but it should indicate success/failure
  • #683 - Create Module from existing DB Table doesn't generate correct form field IDs
  • #680 - Gravatar default images don't work for non-public sites
  • #664 - Translate editor: saving sysinfo_lang.php causes CodeIgniter error
  • #708 - UI module causes error when admin profiler is disabled
  • #720 - builder: don't insist on providing a "length" for INT fields
  • #727 - users index page: Filter wont go along with pagination
  • #749 - Don't silently ignore values of password_min_length less than 8 (issue #749)
  • #750 - AUTO_INCREMENT portability, fixes install errors seen on Percona Server
  • #751 - Fix SITE_AREA/ homepage, if you have changed SITE_AREA
  • #759 - username validation is bypassed when !auth.use_usernames
  • #767 - Don't allow deleting the default role, it causes problems
  • #785 - email activation can fail with "The URI you submitted has disallowed characters"

Additional changes:

  • $table in MY_Model changed to $table_name to avoid potential conflict with the table library.
  • database backup - fix effect of yes/no dropdowns for languages other than English
  • database backup: .gzip doesn't work very well; use .gz instead
  • Template::redirect() - fix escaping of url [XSS?]
  • Template::redirect() - should not require javascript support, unless the current request was by ajax
  • Template::render() - ajax responses - remove incorrect Content-Type and caching override headers
  • builder generated index_front: escape values from user-editable data [XSS]
  • users auth library: fix has_permission() when called with a role parameter
  • users module: deactivate() shouldn't send "user activated" email
  • users module: deactivate() should not show an error when it succeeds
  • users login: don't show error when auth.allow_register==FALSE
  • users forgotten password: fix "Cannot find that email in our records" message
  • default theme: don't show "Sign up" link if auth.allow_register==FALSE
  • fix "remember me" in modal_login
  • ctrl+s should not perform dangerous actions like deleting tables, because the user might have intended to invoke a harmless browser shortcut
  • tentatively standardized on isset($_POST['save']) when testing submit buttons. It's not too ugly, especially when you understand the pitfalls of the alternatives.
  • $return_type removed from the user_model functions: find, find_all, and find_by. Use as_array() instead.
  • Template::yield() changed to Template::content() due to the addition of generators in PHP 5.5.

Upgrade notes

Migrations should be set to auto-run in the application config file so that the new password hash is enforced before you try to login the first time after updating. The migrations force all users to create new passwords so that the newer encryption methods are used.

The "ban" button in the users page is working now, and the permission Site.Signin.Allow has been removed. If you created a custom role which banned logins by excluding this permission, they will now be able to log in.

If you attempt to downgrade to 0.6.*, Bonfire will at best restore Site.Signin.Allow to the Administrator role. No other role will be able to log in. This was written with developers in mind, not downgrading a production system. (But it would be interesting to hear any feedback).

The comment recommending IS_AJAX as a security check has been removed. IS_AJAX is not effective as a security check. It may have happened to prevent CSRF on AJAX methods, but Bonfire now supports CodeIgniter CSRF protection (see upgrade notes for 0.6.1). For other purposes, you may prefer to avoid the Bonfire-specific constant in favour of the standard CodeIgniter method $this->input->is_ajax_request().

Because the MY_Controller file no longer ships with Bonfire, you should make a backup of your current MY_Controller file, if you have made any changes. This file will be renamed to Base_Controller.php. Any changes you made should then be redistributed over the new Controller files in application/core.

If you use the $table class var within any of your module's model files, you will need to change that reference to $table_name.

If your module calls the activity_model for logging purposes, you will need to either switch the code to the new log_activity() helper method or load the activity_model explicitly.

All templates that use the current Template::yield() function must be updated to Template::content() due to the addition of generators in PHP 5.5.

0.6.1

Regression fixes

  • Permissions Matrix silently didn't work - issue #596
  • Redirect after login - was redirecting to '/', regardless of the previous page or per-role redirect settings
  • Site settings failed to save sometimes, under PHP 5.4 - issue #618

Upgrade Notes:

Version 0.6 prevented CSRF attacks using a standard CodeIgniter option. This should protect against clicking a malicious link (e.g. in an email or forum post), which attempts to perform actions on Bonfire. E.g. deleting modules or changing user access rights.

When upgrading to Bonfire 0.6.1, you should make sure to update config.php in the application/config folder. This is necessary in order to enable and configure CSRF protection.

As a result, any AJAX POST request you have will need to include the CSRF token. If you don't already know how to do this, Bonfire 0.6.1 includes a simple solution. You just need two extra lines.

In the controller for the page which launches the AJAX request:

Assets::add_js('codeigniter-csrf.js')

In the AJAX request, an extra data field:
