Hiya, just looking for some clarification about these Deprecated Global Variable names in the codex regarding theme and template changes for 5.3.1.

  1. I could not find any reference to the variables below in any of our template files, nor in the latest default theme (v.1.2.3) for that matter. We’re using a slightly hacked version of Default, but the codex entry is unclear about where to look for and edit these variables.
  2. If I were to find them, it looks like only the case is changing for some of these. Does the comma get added?

$SPALLOPTIONS to $spAllOptions,
$SPPATHS to $spPaths,
$ISADMIN to $spIsAdmin,
$ISFORUMADMIN to $spIsForumAdmin,
$SPSTATUS to $spStatus,
$APAGE to $spAPage,
$ISFORUM to $spIsForum,
$SPCACHE to $spBootCache,
$CONTENTLOADED to $spContentLoaded,
$SFMOBILE to $spMobile,
$SFDEVICE to $spDevice,
$sfglobals to $spGlobals,
$sfvars to $spVars;

Thanks!

if you are going to paste code, please use the code button so formatting is not messed up… highlight code and select the code button…

You probably do not use any of them…  they are mostly used in core or in plugins… but its possible if you added some custom code to the theme (ie spFunctions.php) that you might have used them…

yes, mostly case and few other minor things to make them consistent with our coding standards… bit the bullet and changed them as it is not likely to affect anyone except those with custom code that might ahve used them…

the commas are just standard for grammatical presentation… its a from/to just for the name…

EDIT: lol, see you updated the post.. ;)
