4 Changed Behaviour
This section lists changes of existing objects and components due to bug fixes made for ILIAS 9:
- JavaScript Dependencies:
- The JavaScript dependencies are not part of the ILIAS source code repository anymore. When setting up an ILIAS installation, the dependencies have to be installed by using NPM.
- npm clean-install --omit=dev --ignore-scripts
- The JavaScript dependencies are not part of the ILIAS source code repository anymore. When setting up an ILIAS installation, the dependencies have to be installed by using NPM.
- Chat Server:
- When updating to ILIAS 9 the chat server of older ILIAS versions cannot be used anymore. Furthermore the chat client of older ILIAS versions (ILIAS 8.x or previous versions) will not be able to communicate with an ILIAS 9 chat server.
- Similar to the JavaScript dependencies of ILIAS, the dependencies of the chat server have been remove as well and must be additionally installed if an institution wants to use the ILIAS chat server.
- Cron:
- With ILIAS 9 a password is not required/must not be passed anymore when executing the main PHP-CLI script (cron.php). Please read: https://github.com/ILIAS-eLearning/ILIAS/blob/trunk/Services/Cron/README.md#cron-job-execution
- Interface Changes
- The PHP return type of `ilCronJob::getDefaultScheduleType` changed from `int` to `CronJobScheduleType`. Therefore plugins providing cron jobs have to change the return type providing a compatible version for ILIAS 9 as well.
- Info Page:
- The description of an object is only presented below the title on top, not as part of the info section again, see https://mantis.ilias.de/view.php?id=39079
- Page Editor:
- Horizontal Accordions have been abandoned, see Page Editor » Accordion Editing.
