Today a new version of cakephp-1.2′s pre-beta released, Eager to upgrade I plugged it into the new Cheesecake2 codebase which was happily on cakephp-1.2′s last alpha (released on 9th July).
As expected some minor migration issues did crop up immediately, posting the list below
1. No more debug, cake_admin etc. constants in config/core.php
- Replace the old core.php with the new one and then make changes in it as per your needs – debug setting, admin routing etc.
That was easy what took a bit more time was the new things in the radiobutton output by the form helper.
2. Addition of fieldset/legend around radio buttons
- You need to set
- 'legend' => false
in options of radio field if you don’t need a fieldset around your radio buttons
3. Label given for radio buttons group does not appear but radio buttons texts appear as labels
- If you have given a label to your radio buttons group then it will not appear at all, rather but your radio button options will be made labels. If you need to provide a single label for radio buttons group then you have to explicitly put
- $form->label()
before (or after or above or bottom – as per your need,)
- $form->radio()
. Also if you don’t need your radio button options to appear as labels then set
- 'label' => false
4. The ‘inbetween’ has been removed
- If you need to separate your radio button using any string, e.g.:-
(line break), then you need to use
- 'separator' => '<br />'
instead of
- 'inbetween' => '<br />'
I am sure the above will help prevent some hair-pulling by people less keen on diving into the source 
But that said – the new features which have been put in seem to be really awesome as usual
Thanks for the hint, saved me quite some time
Thanks, it saved me some time of digging in the form helper code
Thx a lot…..You are grt!!!!!!
