Convert your beta 7 compatible extension to work on beta 8

Kyrne

As many developers probably know by now, beta 8 will introduce lots of namespace changes. The list is extremely long, and it can be easy to miss one of the changes, that's why I created this script.

Disclaimer

This could potentially break your extension. Please make sure you have a backup somewhere before running this script. I am not responsible for lost work.

How to use

Navigate to your extension's root dir
Download it: wget 'https://gist.githubusercontent.com/CDK2020/867c54091dd330006dd7d4a0271a2a22/raw/convert.sh' -O convert.sh
Make sure it has permission to run: chmod u+x convert.sh
Run it: ./convert.sh
Profit

If you have any suggestions to make it better, please let me know.

Edit: Tweaked the script a bit 1 hour after the original post.

Nice. Maybe you should also link to the Gist on GitHub so people always see the latest version ?

The link you use with wget is one of your previous version with the /usr/bin/env command messed up ? Looks like you can also use https://gist.githubusercontent.com/CDK2020/867c54091dd330006dd7d4a0271a2a22/raw/convert.sh (without the commit hash) to get the latest raw version

Is it just namespaces changing? Great script, btw. Thanks!

NorioDS no there will be more changes, including database column renaming.

Thanks! Do you have the link for the issue where the database columns are discussed? Wanna see if it will affect me.

@Kyrne Running the script inserted this file to my root file: https://github.com/Extum/flarum-ext-material/blob/development/convert.sh

Will deleting it cause issues?
