was wireSendFile() taken out of PW3

[benbyf]

having errors using wireSendFile() method, was it taken out of PW and if so was it replaced by anything in v3?

Hi @benbyf

I'm using it without any errors

https://github.com/processwire/processwire/blob/d935e9b6995124d76e6fda17fd47ab46dc4d3a3c/wire/core/Functions.php#L256

thats the strange thing, found it in there but obviously not getting called from templates for some reason.

This function is no longer global but in the ProcessWire namespace in PW 3.x
Maybe it's a namespace issue?

[benbyf]

Do i have to be explicit in my templates about the namespace?

[benbyf]

working now including the <?php namespace ProcessWire;

Thanks!

"It can be disabled globally by setting $config->templateCompile = false; in your /site/config.php file. If you do disable it, you'll likely want to add a namespace ProcessWire; to the top of your PHP template files where necessary."

In practice, the simplest solution is to always add <?php namespace ProcessWire; if none other is required.
