CMS Made Simple Forums

Well, since we try very hard not to break backwards compatibility with the module API, it's gotten a little unwieldy.  Particularly since 0.11 came out with the alternate rendering loop.

Anyway, I spent the evening trying to consolidate our callbacks in the render loop and have deprecated a few.  I just figured I'd pass it along just in case people wonder why some trickier modules aren't working right in 0.12.

Deprecated:

• ContentTemplate  --  Use TemplatePreCompile instead
• ContentTitle -- This is just a dumb method and not really useful except to eat CPU cycles
• ContentData -- Use ContentPreCompile instead
• ContentHtmlBlob -- Use GlobalContentPreCompile instead
• ContentPreRender -- This is just semantics.  Use ContentPreCompile instead
• ContentPostRenderNonCached -- There is no point where everything is pasted together, so it's not terribly useful

The ones that should be used now are:

• SmartyPreCompile -- This is called before any smarty content is processed.  This means content, templates, module template, global content, etc
• SmartyPostCompile -- This is after the {tags} are removed and functions are put in place, but before any caching
• ContentPreCompile -- SmartyPreCompile, but only for {content}
• ContentPostCompile -- SmartyPostCimpile, but only for {content}
• GlobalContentPreCompile -- SmartyPreCompile, but only for {global_content} or {html_blob}
• GlobalContentPostCompile -- SmartyPostCompile, but only for {global_content} or {html_blob}
• TemplatePreCompile -- SmartyPreCompile, but only for content templates
• TemplatePostCompile -- SmartyPostCompile, but only for content templates
• ContentPostRender -- Processed after all smarty stuff has taken place.  This will be called on every page load, so nothing intensive should go here.

These changes will be in 0.12-beta2.

Thanks!
