CodeIgniter 1.7.0 Released

[eluser]Crimp[/eluser]
The user_guide included with the official 1.7 download (downloaded from the front page last night) is not the right revision. The CSS file is outdated and the Form Validation class is not included.

[quote author="DiRN" date="1224902238"]I am now getting errors with

Code:

$this->db->orderby("field1, field2")

as this is producing

Code:

ORDER BY `field1,` field2

[/quote]

CI Documentation:

Code:

$this->db->order_by('title desc, name asc');

// Produces: ORDER BY title DESC, name ASC

so instead use e.g.:

Code:

$this->db->order_by('field1 asc, field2 asc')

[quote author="pistolPete" date="1224990899"]I also dislike the need to pass the initialisation parameter as an array.

For example I am using a Layout library and I am passing the layout's view to the constructor.

Code:

function Layout($layout = "frontend/layout")
    {
        $this->obj =& get_instance();
        $this->layout = $layout;
    }

Why should I pass an array when I just need one parameter and want to have a default value?[/quote]

This is the same issue I have with the change in the syntax to load libraries.

While that is the example in the documentation, nowhere in the documentation does it say that ASC, DESC, or RANDOM is required. Prior to CI 1.7.0, they certainly weren't needed.

I wouldn't mind seeing an old orderby restored to assist with the transition to order_by. Just like the changes to the second parameter when loading a library, this is another instance that will require me to make way too many changes. I'm probably sticking with CI 1.6.3 for a while.

I get that frameworks change and along with those changes often come syntax changes, but nowhere in the documentation to upgrade from 1.6.3. to 1.7.0 does it mention any of the syntax changes that have been discussed in this thread.

You might double check your download and clear your caches.

While this is true that nowhere in the documentation does it say that ASC, DESC, or RANDOM is required, it applies to the valid syntax as outlined in the documentation.

Code:

// And using the syntax:
$this->db->order_by('field1, field2'); // is not a valid syntax.
// With 1.7 the valid syntax would be:
$this->db->order_by('field1', 'desc');
$this->db->order_by('field2', 'desc');
// Second parameter options are asc or desc, or random.
// OR:
$this->db->order_by('field1 desc, field2 desc');
// Using ('field option, field2 option2').

Can I make a request to those who have encountered bugs? Please post them in our bug tracker. It's really hard to track and resolve bugs in a single forum thread like this, where there are so many people posting. Thanks a lot...

[quote author="stuffradio" date="1224994843"]... I'm counting down the days till CI 2.0 with the hopefully native Ajax support [/quote]
Pardon me for interjecting here; but what do you mean by 'native' ajax support? I've been using ajax w/CI since release 1.5.4 and haven't run into any issues. There's a JSON library out there if you aren't using PHP 5 so you can json_encode and json_decode strings.

Just curious.

I think stuffradio means the AJAX library coming with the default CI download, instead of using a third party library written by someone else
