Select System Migration

The Select class has been moved and reorganized for better structure and consistency within the legacy system organization.

Quick Migration Overview​

// Old way (deprecated)
\TorrentPier\Legacy\Select::language($new['default_lang'], 'default_lang');
\TorrentPier\Legacy\Select::timezone('', 'timezone_type');
\TorrentPier\Legacy\Select::template($pr_data['tpl_name'], 'tpl_name');

// New way (recommended)
\TorrentPier\Legacy\Common\Select::language($new['default_lang'], 'default_lang');
\TorrentPier\Legacy\Common\Select::timezone('', 'timezone_type');
\TorrentPier\Legacy\Common\Select::template($pr_data['tpl_name'], 'tpl_name');

Namespace Update​

The Select class has been moved from \TorrentPier\Legacy\Select to \TorrentPier\Legacy\Common\Select to better organize legacy components.

Method Usage Remains Unchanged​

// Language selection dropdown
$languageSelect = \TorrentPier\Legacy\Common\Select::language($currentLang, 'language_field');

// Timezone selection dropdown
$timezoneSelect = \TorrentPier\Legacy\Common\Select::timezone($currentTimezone, 'timezone_field');

// Template selection dropdown
$templateSelect = \TorrentPier\Legacy\Common\Select::template($currentTemplate, 'template_field');

Available Select Methods​

All existing methods remain available:

\TorrentPier\Legacy\Common\Select::language($selected, $name);
\TorrentPier\Legacy\Common\Select::timezone($selected, $name);
\TorrentPier\Legacy\Common\Select::template($selected, $name);

Backward Compatibility​

The old class path is deprecated but still works through class aliasing:

// This still works but is deprecated
\TorrentPier\Legacy\Select::language($lang, 'default_lang');

// This is the new recommended way
\TorrentPier\Legacy\Common\Select::language($lang, 'default_lang');

Migration Strategy​

  1. Search and Replace: Update all references to the old namespace
  2. Import Statements: Update use statements if you're using them
  3. Configuration Files: Update any configuration that references the old class path
// Update use statements
// Old
use TorrentPier\Legacy\Select;

// New
use TorrentPier\Legacy\Common\Select;

Best Practices​

Use New Namespace Consistently​

$languageSelect = \TorrentPier\Legacy\Common\Select::language($currentLang, 'language_field');

Store Frequently Used Selects​

class AdminPanel {
    private string $languageSelect;
    private string $timezoneSelect;

    public function __construct() {
        $this->languageSelect = \TorrentPier\Legacy\Common\Select::language('', 'default_lang');
        $this->timezoneSelect = \TorrentPier\Legacy\Common\Select::timezone('', 'timezone');
    }
}
