Post-Upgrade Steps

Update Site Level Override Components

• Any site level override ADF Lib components located in the "_cs_apps/lib/" folder will need to be renamed and the component "extends" updated to point to the latest version of the matching ADF Lib components.

Example: "_cs_apps/lib/scripts_1_1.cfc" needs to become "scripts_2_0.cfc" and the extends value in the component tag will need to point to "ADF.lib.scripts.scripts_2_0"

• Also make sure all CFPROPERTY "injectedBean" type="dependency" tags at the top of any other site level override ADF Lib components files are also updated to the latest versions of the ADF Lib components.

Example: <cfproperty name="data" injectedBean="data_1_2" type="dependency"> should be updated to be <cfproperty name="data" injectedBean="data_2_0" type="dependency">

Update Custom App Lib Component References

• Update any ADF Lib component references in your custom ADF Apps to the latest versions of the matching ADF 2.0 Lib components in the App's appBeanConfig.cfm file (in the root of the App directory).

Example: "addConstructorDependency(appBeanName, "scripts_1_2", "scripts"); " needs to become "addConstructorDependency(appBeanName, "scripts_2_0", "scripts");"

ADF Removed Resources

Options for resolving missing resources:

1. Update the Registered Resource (or your site's code) to use the latest available version*
2. Update the Registered Resource (or your site's code) to use the required version from a CDN*
3. Download the required resource files and install them locally in your site and update the Register Resource or your site's code
4. Copy in the missing resource files using the ADF 2.5 thirdParty folder (be careful not to overwrite newer versions)

Note: It is recommended to always use the latest available version of any third party/external resources

Register ADF Scripts as CommonSpot Resources

• Register the ADF Script Resources with CommonSpot (for ADF 2.0 and above only!)
  • Run the Register ALL Scripts tool.

IMPORTANT: The ADF thirdParty scripts libraries will not function when using ADF.scripts_2_0 loadScripts calls unless they are registered as Resources in CommonSpot 10.x. 

Enable the CSRF Safe Mode for local ajaxProxy requests

• Once your site is ready Enable ADF AjaxProxy CSRF Safe Mode (for ADF 2.5 and above only!)

WARNING: Enabling the "ADF CSRF Safe Mode" without installing ADF 2.5 and above compatible Apps or without updating all custom ajaxProxy local requests will greatly limit functionality!
