Upgrade from 3.0 to 3.1

A guide for upgrading from 3.0 to 3.1

Overview

First read through this guide to see if there's anything that you might need to adjust.
When upgrading, Statamic may automate some things for you. They'll be noted below.

In your composer.json, change the statamic/cms requirement:

"statamic/cms": "3.1.*"

Then run:

composer update statamic/cms --with-dependencies

Update scripts

Statamic 3.1 introduced the concept of update scripts, which you can think of like database migrations. It'll let
Statamic perform adjustments for any particular upgrade path.

Some of the changes listed in this upgrade guide will be performed automatically by an update script.

In order for it to work, you'll need a section added to your composer.json.

When upgrading using Composer, Statamic should add this automatically for you.

(An update script adding its own update script, say whaaat?)

If it doesn't, add this pre-update-cmd under the scripts section of your composer.json:

"scripts": {
"pre-update-cmd": [
"Statamic\\Console\\Composer\\Scripts::preUpdateCmd"
],
...
}

Collection and Nav Trees

The trees for collections and navs are now stored separately from the collections and navs themselves.

When upgrading using Composer, Statamic should update these automatically for you.

If for whatever reason it doesnt, follow these steps:

If you've only got a single site:

  • The tree array found in each content/collections/[handle].yaml should be moved into a content/trees/collections/[handle].yaml file.
  • The tree array found in each content/navigation/[handle].yaml should be moved into a content/trees/navigation/[handle].yaml file.

If you've got multiple sites:

  • In each content/collections/[handle].yaml with a tree, you should move each site's nested tree into a content/trees/collections/[site]/[handle].yaml file.
  • Each content/navigation/[site]/[handle.yaml] should be moved to content/trees/navigation/[site]/[handle].yaml file.

Basically, the trees should be moved to their own dedicated directory.

Opt-in REST API Resources

All API endpoints have been made opt-in to improve security. This means that everything will 404 until you opt into the ones you need.

Add the following array to config/statamic/api.php and set the resources you want to true.

'resources' => [
'collections' => false,
'navs' => false,
'taxonomies' => false,
'assets' => false,
'globals' => false,
'forms' => false,
'users' => false,
],

REST API Filtering drafts

The API will now filter out draft entries.

This is more of a bug fix than a breaking change. However, if you were relying on seeing draft entries, you should be aware they won't be there now. If you want to see both, you can use the status filter:

/api/endpoint?filter[status:in]=published|draft

Entry author permissions

3.1 introduces the ability to control how much you can control entries belonging to other users.
This feature only has any effect if your entry blueprint has an author field. If you don't already have an author field, no functionality changes for you.

If you do have an author field, the permission logic will be enabled.

When upgrading using Composer, Statamic should automatically apply the following updates for you.

If for whatever reason it doesn't, you'll need to add the corresponding permissions in order to continue
editing, deleting, and managing the publish state of other users' entries:

  • edit other authors blog entries (where blog is the collection's handle)
  • publish other authors blog entries
  • delete other authors blog entries

e.g. If you had an edit blog entries, you should add edit other authors blog entries.

Date fieldtype augmentation

The date fieldtype now augments to Carbon instances.

If you use {{ a_date_field }} in Antlers without any modifiers, they will now be output using the date_format configured in config/statamic/system.php (e.g. January 1st, 2020).

Actual entry dates (i.e. the {{ date }} field) would have been formatted using the configured date format this way already. No change necessary.

If you were using a modifier (e.g. format), there will also be no change.

For other arbitrary date fields, the raw value (e.g. 2020-01-02) would have been output. If you want to continue to output that, you can explicitly use a modifier. e.g. {{ a_date_field format="Y-m-d" }}

Static caching interface

A hasCachedPage method has been added to the Statamic\StaticCaching\Cacher interface.

If you're making a custom Static Caching class, you'll need to add this method.
However, you're more than likely just extending AbstractCacher. In that case, no action is needed.

Broadcasting auth endpoint

This only affects you if you use broadcasting and you've dedicided to use custom routing instead of using Laravel's Broadcast::routes().

To tell Statamic about your custom auth endpoint, you should define it in config/broadcasting.php:

'auth_endpoint' => '/your-endpoint'
