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()

Thanks for the how-to's :up:

I needed to use $session outside the templates, it's now:

$session => $vbulletin->session->vars

That syntax you used may be confusing. It took me about 3 minutes to catch your drift. I see now that you were making a relation though. But here's what the new one looks like for the other folks.

$vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl']

It shouldn't be That's the syntax suggested by the first post, left to right.

Sorry I tried to help. Perhaps I should just shut up. :/

I was not trying to start an argument.

Me neither. My post was not meant to offende you, and if it did, I apologize. I just meant that was the syntax used by Brad in his first post. Anyway, between the both of us, we may have actually helped someone.

That's the one that's used on the members profile and so, right?

I just checked the memberinfo template, and it hasn't changed there...

Yeah, I mentioned that u=$userinfo[userid] wasn't working in the postbit a few posts ago. I think we might have to wait for the documentation to find out all the new conditionals.

userinfo is not a global variable like bbuserinfo. So it won't be part of the new $vbulletin object and other globals. The variable name for userinfo will be different depending on the script or template being edited.

Thanks for the info, tamarian. I'll just use $post[userid] in the postbit instead.

Do you have any idea how I can solve this problem? Is there a replacement for $GLOBALS?
