A lot of things changed in 3.5 and you might find yourself lost for awhile as you figure out how to work with the new var/array/function names. This list should help you port your old 3.0.x hacks quicker, if you have anything to add to the list reply to this thread and I will edit the first post!

Note that some of these might not work in some parts of the new code, OOP changes a lot of things, in some cases you might be using $this-> or some other alternative to get to these.

On the front end they will work for the most part. Do remember that there are hooks littered in the 'build' functions like the one that builds postbit. For an example of working with such hooks you can check out a plug-in I released, I spend 5 minutes wondering why $post would not work until I realized I was begin an idiot!

Anyway check out the .xml file: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=82623

Turned out I needed to use $this->post because that hook was inside of a function! Doh!

[high]The big list...[/high]

3.0.x version of the var will be on the left, 3.5 on the right as so:

3.0.x => 3.5

[high]Global[/high]

$DB_site-> => $db->
$bbuserinfo[] => $vbulletin->userinfo[]
$vboptions[] => $vbulletin->options[]
$_GET/$_REQUEST/$_POST/$_COOKIE => $vbulletin->GPC[]
globalize() => $vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc()

That was to be expected

As far as I can see $bbuserinfo/$vboptions/$session is being unsed in the Templates.
But I am not sure if this will be changed.

No, the old way still works in the templates.

if you're not in the mood to re-write all the variables, you can put stuff like:

$bbuserinfo = $vbulletin->userinfo;
unset($vbulletin->userinfo);

At the top of your files (after you've included the files you require), ofcourse if your embedding code into an existing vB 3.5 php file, like forumdisplay, i wouldn't use the unset function.

It's a quick and easy method, until you get time to properly convert everything

Can the new way also be used, and if so, what way?

I doubt so. But to get a definitive answer you should ask the developers

See this vB 3.5.0 mod, and look at the attached TXT file in that thread. It has <if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != '0' AND... in it, so is it that conditions use the new way, but things to be echoed use the old way, or ???

In a conditional, which is executed as raw php code. I could have used $bbuserinfo but I prefered to update and use the new code.

Okay, good, but what about vars in templates that just sit there to be echoed? New way or old way? If old, any hint as to what method (new vs. old) will be used in vB 3.5.0 final?
