first post :D


Wooo hooo, time to go upgrade

[squall14716]

Yep, must upgrade.

[Floris]

Nice job devs! I'll upgrade as soon as possible

[daemon]

Yay! A new release... I wonder when vB Ninja will be out...

[cybermomcafe]

whoo hoo!

[maggie]

LOL Ya'll were waiting for me to buy my license yesterday, right? :D
Guess I know what I'll be doing tomorrow! ~thumbsup~

[theArchitect]

I am upgrading now!

[Staticfire]

Thanks for all your hard work guys,

http://xrealmz.net/index.php - Upgraded to vB 3.0.4 :)

Kind of sad :( that this isnt a major release but now I can wait for the next one to be released. Hopefully it wont be as long of a wait as it was from 3.0.3 to 3.0.4.

[cinq]

goddamn it, i just upgraded to vb3.0.3 and reinstalled all my hacks ...... :(

[Kier]

Cinq - The file changes are for the most part pretty minor - using a tool like Beyond Compare or ExamDiff you should be able to apply the changes from 3.0.3 to 3.0.4 pretty easily.

[cinq]

Yep, I will just follow the listing of the file changes, thanks :D

[1996 328ti]

I have spent all day importing phpBBB into 3.0.3.
I've installed vBadvanced.
I'm fixing smilies and now I need to start over. :eek:
I guess it is better to do this before I go live.

[Scott MacVicar]

You shouldn't need to start over unless you've been editing alot of the files, and the changes were relatively minor so they can be done with a compare utility.

[Cowboysfan]

boy, judging by the list of fixes, 3.0.3 must be a real piece of crap. ;) jk

[MistyMeanor]

Is there anyone that could help me upgrade? I have no idea how but I just had it done to 3.0.3 and dont want to ask the gentleman again.

[Dan]

yay thanks :D

[Zachery]

There is a readme in the zip and in the vbulletin docs online, backup, upload new files, after they are done uploading go to yoursite.com/forums/install/upgrade.php click on proceed :)

[Ted S]

There is a readme in the zip and in the vbulletin docs online, backup, upload new files, after they are done uploading go to yoursite.com/forums/install/upgrade.php click on proceed :)

After I go to upgrade.php, enter my customer id and get redirected to ugprade15.php clicking proceed does not proceed. Instead the page just reloads instantly as if nothing had happened.

[echo2k5]

Is anyone else having a problem running the upgrade script? I get into the first page and it just sits there, after clicking "proceed" it does nothing.

[Mike Sullivan]

Yeah, we were just informed of it. It'll be fixed in a few minutes.

[Kier]

It's fixed now.

If you have already downloaded 3.0.4, you can upgrade by navigating directly to install/upgrade15.php?step=1

[echo2k5]

Thanks for the fast fix!

[Ted S]

Thanks Kier!

[ManagerJosh]

Nice job everyone :D

[Moparx]

thanks guys, i'll update as soon as i can :D

[Chroder]

I've applied the patch. Will upgrade later :D

[express]

Anything done to help the restore time and server load of the postindex table?

[Scott MacVicar]

There were some optimizations to remove some useless puncutation from the word table but thats about the only search related thing that was adjusted, as well as the rebuilding process. It will now correctly stop at a specific postid.

[Jing]

after replacing init.php, I got the following error...

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/unlinked/domains/xxx.net/public_html/forum/includes/functions.php on line 2854

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/unlinked/domains/xxx.net/public_html/forum/includes/functions.php on line 2854

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/unlinked/domains/xxx.net/public_html/forum/includes/functions.php on line 2854

And the lines starting from 2854 are the followings...

foreach ($_FIELDNAMES AS $field => $bitvalue)
{
if ($bitfield & $bitvalue)
{
$arry["$field"] = 1;
}
else

{
$arry["$field"] = 0;
}
}


Can someone have a look at this? Thank you.


Update: Even after I replace the init.php with the old file, the errors won't go away! I am very sure that I did not edit or change functions.php while trying to patch my vbulletin!

[pco]

Sorry but I don't see how HTTP_REFERER will be "any good" because it's not a MUST and might be OFF within A LOT of firewalls etc so that MAY be the cause for a lot of "client trouble" (refering to init.php). :eek: :rolleyes:

[Scott MacVicar]

Jing please open a seperate thread in the support forums.

pco it wont cause any problems if your firewall blocks it and a more permanent solution is in the next major release, it involved too many changes to go into the 3.0.x branch.

[Cowboysfan]

when I direct my browser to http://www.example.com/forums/install/upgrade.php It just takes me to my admin control panel.

[Omega Prime]

Just when I had downloaded version 3.0.3 from the members area, a new one gets released shortly after..hehe

Oh well... my forum was in need of a "refresh" to prepare for its 1-year anniversary, so while I basically hacked it to death (over 50 hacks since version 3.0.3 was released last July), I think I should start anew as part of a "new year's celebration" of sorts :)

[Jing]

My bad. It was the Arcade Hack. :/

[MrDegree]

degreeboard.com (http://www.degreeboard.com/) is upgraded. It went glitchless, took 5mins, styles and everything. Thanks guys.

(I have no mods/hacks)

[pco]

Scott, I take it you're talking about the new hash solution then?? Anyway, I understand the "issue" and that this would be too much for an upgrade ;) And of course "non-referers" should be denied if it comes to security(apart from leeching) on(off) a forum. I was just worried but will check out 3.04 later today. ;) And I wish you good luck with 3.1 then! :) :)

[diettalk]

Upgraded here too with no issues.

[vbcore]

Excellent, great work!

[KW802]

My bad. It was the Arcade Hack. :/Jing, what you mind specifying what exactly was the problem? I'm having the same issue.

Thanks,
Kevin

[vbcore]

boy, judging by the list of fixes, 3.0.3 must be a real piece of crap. ;) jk

where can you find the list of fixes

[Steve Machol]

In the Announcement of course:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=124876

[vbcore]

Thanks Steve

[Limey]

Small warning to those using the archive hack for php as cgi. The code to replace is missing from the latest files.

Is the archive code in dire need of replacing? Kier, Scott, et al...

[Dream On]

that is really good but i dont think that i'am going to upgrade my forums i just will download the init.php and i will Replace .. i have alot of mod i have add i only will upgrade when their is a new addon or some new stuff add in the vb :)

[ManagerJosh]

someone needs to send an eBulletin! :)

[Pilot]

I assume PHP 4.1.2 is still supported?

[Ugur Cetin]

yep, thanks mate...

[Creative Suite]

great work!

http://www.montadiat.com/vb/index.php? is upgraded :)

[noppid]

The new edit template page is not cool at all! The navagation of the templates is much more difficult now! That box is too small, the page view was far easier to use.

When I used the search this thread feature to see if anyone had mentioned this I got results from all threads in all forums. Seems to work fine on my boards though. odd.

thanks again....

[Marc Smith]

Tried to do the upgrade on my test board. All went well - But - Went to the adminCP and tried to edit a template. Obviously you folks have changed this - I used to get a listing when I hit the <<>> to the right of the style in the style manager. Now I get a box with a list of templates on the left and another box with 'Controls' on the right.

I hi-lite the template I want to change in the list on the left and then go to the box on the right - but none of the buttons do anything.

Firefox on an iMac running OS X 10.3.7

BUT - Using Safari, I get the long single list I used to get and can change templates.

Comments?

[Marc Smith]

perhaps it is your settings? :)Where are settings for it?

[BruceWest]

I just managed the upgrade. It went through fine.

I'm planning on installing vBAdvanced tomorrow (actually, I was one step from completing the installation when this update came out).

In the future, what is the best way to update when mods are installed? Should I just start from scratch each time?

Thanks,
Bruce

[NiROE]

Upgrade went smoothly, bug fixes appreciated :cool:

[Marc Smith]

I hi-lite the template I want to change in the list on the left and then go to the box on the right - but none of the buttons do anything.

Firefox on an iMac running OS X 10.3.7This appears to have cleared up after clearing the Firefox cache and restarting the browser. Clicking on a template name now changes the box on the right and I can edit. :rolleyes:

[mzakonia]

i upgraded success full

Is there ANY way to get the old listing back? This box looks nice and all that but I have to use Safari to simply change a template. :confused:

[Zachery]

Firefox is working for me, try doing a hard refresh, CTRL+R i think on a mac... or clear your cache and restart the browser.

[gembels]

mod and install hack problem.. u really like to re upload and re hard code again.. why the admin not just upload the important file to recover the bugs file only.. ?

[Zachery]

You'd still need to rehack that file.

[mojo8850]

Ok..

Now Here Is A Question..!

What Do The Members Do If The Have Hacks And Tweaks In..

I Have V3.0.3 At The Moment..! :)

[Lenni]

why is there an init.php file attached to the announcement?

[Zachery]

Please ask for support in the support forum mojo.

[Zachery]

why is there an init.php file attached to the announcement?


If you are unable to upgrade vBulletin to 3.0.4, you may download init.php, which is attached to this message and upload it to the 'includes' directory of your vBulletin installation to be protected against the vBulletin SQL injection flaw.





From the announcement itself

[Lenni]

whoops. :D thanks.

[Revanza]

*drool*
I was looking through the bug fixes forum, clicked the dropdown for vB version and saw "3.0.4" and went "What the blue...?
*gets gold chills down spine while goes to check vB.com*
Bloody hell! *logs in and downloads*"

Omg Im so hyped now :D
Gonna load up Beyond Compare and update this ASAP :D

I'd like to say a big "Thank you!" to all the developers and staff of Jelsoft. Your forum software has completely changed the way I look at forums. The code is clean, easy to modify, and has helped me learn everything I know about PHP.
The support you offer is excellent, unmatched by anyone.
So again, thanks!


//peace

[Reminder]

Yesss. No problem. Thanks.

[digitalhome]

Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm relatively new to Vb and haven't done an upgrade.

I have backed up my db. I have backed up my files.

The only thing I've done to my site is alter a few templates and added a couple of bbcodes.

After I upgrade will my styles (and vb code additions)remain intact or will I have to re-edit them?

[fahad]

Upgrade OK 3.0.4 - Shamela.net (http://www.shamela.net/)الشاملة نت (http://www.shamela.net/) Thanks.

I was worried about this too. I upgraded without problem. All templates etc were unaffected. (I also have some custom vBcode there too and that works fine after the upgrade too)

The two issues I did have (not really issues though) were, I had to clear the cache of firefox and close firefox down in order for the templates to be "clickable" again. Second "issue" was I did a hack to make the forum's more SE friendly, so I had to go in and modify a few files again, other than that perfect!

So to answer your question - the templates etc should be fine, and I'm a complete newbie to VB too. If I can do it anyone can :)

[MrNase]

Lol I tried Beyond Compare to find out which files are actually changed but it tells me all files are changed :(

This can't be true.. I can't go through any file to see what is new and what not.

[mojo8850]

WoW.. Upgrade..!

I Have Got 3.0.3 And About 5 Hacks Installed..
Now To Upgrade Could I Leave The Hacks, Or When It's Updated Do I Have To Redo The Hacks..

Another Thing When I Upload The Latest 3.0.4 Do I Over Wirte The Existing Files And Folder's Or In A Seperate Section..

Help URGENT.!!!

Regards.

Mr. Mojo :):):)

[mindbuster]

Well, this is cool, sort of, i just installed 0.3 and applied a few hacks, set up my forums to be ready for launch.

When is the major update ? And how "Major" is it ? Should i just wait for that before my forums go live, really dont wanna redo it all again in 2 weeks or whenever the major update comes :(

At the very least you should update your init.php

[Mystic Matt]

Nice job ! I'll upgrade as soon as possible. Thanks :)

[Floris]

when I direct my browser to http://www.example.com/forums/install/upgrade.php It just takes me to my admin control panel.

Please start a new support ticket, this is not the support thread, but the discussion thread for the release.

someone needs to send an eBulletin! :)

The eBulletin is being created and will be mailed out later today.

I assume PHP 4.1.2 is still supported?

Yes, it is, but it is not a safe version.
Please read this announcement:
PHP Vulnerabilities in <= 4.3.9 and <= 5.0.2 (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123531)

This appears to have cleared up after clearing the Firefox cache and restarting the browser. Clicking on a template name now changes the box on the right and I can edit. :rolleyes:

There was an issue with FireFox not displaying the style manager / template editor properly, this is now fixed. Yes, it works - but some folks have to refres their cache first. :)



Note to everybody.
Read the announcement before asking questions, use search before asking questions and ask the support questions in their appropiate support forum - which isn't this discussion thread.

If you have a hack installed you can simply upload init.php and re-apply the changes to init.php (if any).

If you have a hack installed and you want to upgrade to 3.0.4 you don't have to re-install the hack 100% - all you have to do is upgrade and then re-apply the file code changes again. No need to run install again (unless the author of the hack suggests this). Because the mysql database tables & fields are still modified and your templates are also still modified. You really only need to re-apply the code changes to the files again.

[c0bra]

Is the sql script injection vuln. the authorize.net problem that was solved by deleting the relevant php files as before? If not, can anyone point me to a fix so I can manually apply the code change as our init.php file has been hacked to death - and the dev is on vacation for three weeks.

[Zachariah B]

Lol I tried Beyond Compare to find out which files are actually changed but it tells me all files are changed :(

This can't be true.. I can't go through any file to see what is new and what not.

Yes they all are edited.
EX: vBulletin 3.0.3 to vBulletin 3.0.4 (in the comment of the file to tell the ver. of the software.)

Look @ the tally of each file for a common value (2 edits perhaps on most files) anything with more variations is a file you will need to investigate.

Note: the 2 value is an EX: the common value may differ.

[digitalhome]

Success! Once the files were uploaded the upgrade only took a minute. Thanks for a great product and some excellent support.

[MrNase]

Right, Iam uploading the new files right now.. The most interesting part would be the templates :D
I edited almost any template and tweaked it a bit - a lot of work to do :(


One important changing from 3.0.3 to 3.0.4 -> Floris is listed in the AdminCP ;)

[pingme]

I installed it smoothly :D

[sabret00the]

wow how late am i, well let me just say this, i am the alpha and omega of teh upgrade :D

nah seriously, thanks devs :)

[Kerry-Anne]

eeek!

Well patch my init.php later today then spend the next 4-5 days rehacking all my files. Gonna be fun ;) :p

Darn two sites to do as well and both are heavily hacked :(

Well it will keep me out of mischief.

[PitchouneN64ngc]

Upgraded successfully ;)

When I read the announce of this release, I can see this:

at least version 4.3.10 or 5.0.3

So, vB 3.0.4 is 100% compatible PHP5? All problems with PHP 5 are fixed for PHP5?

[oman]

good work


thanx

[Carter876]

Installed :)

Nice job devs ;)

[gio~logist]

Is There Any Way You Can Post Some Screen Shots For It Or Maybe An Online Demo?

gracias! ima look at it now

[RWD]

dammit, I have lost all the hacks, I paid to have them reinstalled, and now I will need someone to re install them again, more money, should have kept with 3.0.3 untill it was a major release. anyway its done now.

At least now I have a archive that works lol.

I made my update with the use of Beyond Compare. It tells you what files have new lines of code and it makes it very easy to add your hacks to the new files :)

[gio~logist]

I like it very much and i am glad that the bugs are fixed. However, is it possible to make the admin panel similar to that of vb2, as far as editing templates and styles are concerned?



Edit= Wouldnt you be able to just change the neccesary codes to make your vbulletin vb3.0.4 using beyond compare? This way you'll be able to keep all your hacks and stuff....?

[teamgofast]

You shouldn't need to start over unless you've been editing alot of the files, and the changes were relatively minor so they can be done with a compare utility.


?? a compare utility??? please tell more:D

[Triple Ox]

Anyone know any techies that can upgrade message boards? My board's still on 3.0.0 :(

[Kihon Kata]

Same here!!! OMG, this took so long. Sheesh. Never-the-less, thanks for always making the releases avail. :(



goddamn it, i just upgraded to vb3.0.3 and reinstalled all my hacks ...... :(

[conqsoft]

Upgraded without a hitch. Less than 30 minutes, including getting all hacks reinstalled. :D

[Joseph777]

I don't want to lose any of my template modifications or my portal.

If I apply the init.php patch will I lose anything?

I really don't care about any of the upgrades at this point, just the security holes and keeping my forums the same as they are now.

[Andy Huang]

@#$% How could I have slept through a release T.T
Now I must start upgrading my forums later than the rest of you... Wait up ya?

[RWD]

well I have a couple of hacks sorted, so its no big deal, I now have a working archive, which I didnt have before so it all turns out well in the end. Once I get the arcade sorted everything will be back to normal.

[teamgofast]

I made my update with the use of Beyond Compare. It tells you what files have new lines of code and it makes it very easy to add your hacks to the new files :)

did you do this before or after you did the upload of the new version?
i downloaded beyond compare, its cool! thanks!!
let me know if im suppose to do it after or before, appreciate your help
thanks

You won't lose anything.


Just upgraded my boards, and readded all my hacks. Thanks Jelsoft! :D

[Deaths]

I never upgraded my board before , so this will be the first time :).
If I upgrade it using the upgrader , will I need to re-install all my hacks? Or is there a trick to not-have to re-install it all.

Are there some populair hacks (like vBA CMPS for example) that I will have to re-install?

Thanks

[Joseph777]

You won't lose anything.

Thanks Tokyo. Does anybody else (preferably from vBulletin) want to confirm this statement for me?

[Steve Machol]

Thanks Tokyo. Does anybody else (preferably from vBulletin) want to confirm this statement for me?
We can't confirm what would happen since you have hacks installed.

[KimmiKat]

I updated with no issues and the only hack that didn't make it was the warning system. I was planning to update that soon anyway...

Yes. You'll need to make the some edits for your hacks. Have a look here-this may help:

Also, there are a couple of 3.0.4/CMPS threads here:

http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=24

[Deaths]

Ok , thanks Torqued :)

EDIT : Hmm , it looks like I have lots of changes to do :S.
I think I'll just upload the init.php , and upgrade when a completely new version comes out (like 4.x.x or something) ;)

[Joseph777]

We can't confirm what would happen since you have hacks installed.

Until recently, I was confused about the difference between hacks and template mods.

The only hack I have installed is "vBadvanced". I also use a custom skin and have a LOT of template mods, which I don't want to lose?

I'm not asking for your written consent and approval to move forward with the upgrade. Thereby making you liable. I am not trying to do that. And I understand why you can't confirm such a statement.

I am simply wondering if, in general, I would lose anything by applying the security patch? (if the only hack I have is vBadvanced)

[Steve Machol]

vBAdvanced is a hack. I do not know what will happen to your forums if you replace init.php when running that hack.

[Joseph777]

vBAdvanced is a hack. I do not know what will happen to your forums if you replace init.php when running that hack.

Thanks Steve. I understand your position. :)

So ... Does anybody else (not vB staff) know if they will lose anything by installing init.php?

Anybody else ran this patch (with vBadvanced on your site) problem-free?

[aduroris]

What did you change in the style manager? In 3.0.3, the style manager was working fine with Mozilla Firefox. In 3.0.4, it no longer works. You need to fix this.

If you need to contact me further, please do.

perhaps it is your settings? :)

Um, thanks for the reply, but having made two seperate comments, I have no idea to which you replied.

The search problem or the view of the edit templates selection menu?

I don't like the new box display of the edit template list, are you saying there is a new option to select one view or the other? Not one reply to any of us that asked this question was clear and informative. I appreciate Zach's commentary on what he likes, but it was not an answer for any of us.

This is the way it has been in IE since beta 3, and it was brought over to Firefox as soon as it had support for it (after 1.0 IIRC)

Does upgrading overwrite template changes I have made and restore originals?

Also will upgrading overwrite any changes to the php files that I have made?

Sorry if this was already answered. It would be great if this info was posted with the upgrade announcement.

[Zachery]

Upgraded reverts every file change, templates will not be effeected by you need to make sure to pay attention to the ones that need to be reverted according to the announcment

I am going for the "patch" today. And will be ugrading soon.

My question is this: When I tried to upload the "init.php" patch to the includes directory, it says that the file already exists. Should I replace the exising file or am I in the wrong place?

For example:

-- httpdocs
---- forums
------ includes (is this the right location?)

Can never be too sure... :)

[samacohen]

I had someone add a php file for me, in my 3.0.3.

When I upgrade, will that new php file be erased?

Yes, backup the init.php file already there and then upload the one from the attachment , overwriting the one already there.

We don't give support for third party code, but .. if the file is not from vBulletin it will not be overwritten.

[noppid]

This is the way it has been in IE since beta 3, and it was brought over to Firefox as soon as it had support for it (after 1.0 IIRC)

I was not aware of that. Thanks for clarifing. I just didn't understand your post. I guess it will grow on me eventually.

[Rob-Morgan]

Upgrade went fine apart from one thing. I cannot now, when posting, click the little 'image' that brings me up the box to type in the web address for an image.

I simply get taken to the top of the screen and 'page error' message in bottom left hand corner of IE.

Whats the file to replace to fix that? Maybe it got damaged during upload or something.

Is anyone else having trouble with the admincp in firefox? I can't make/edit skins templates and some other admin areas also don't work in firefox (both on mac and pc).

[poolking]

What did you change in the style manager? In 3.0.3, the style manager was working fine with Mozilla Firefox. In 3.0.4, it no longer works. You need to fix this.

If you need to contact me further, please do.

Thanks,
Dustin J. Cox

Check the permissions on your forums folder, thats what happened to me, I had accidentally denied myself permission to the js file that runs the style manager.

[AraServ]

i had been translated language file to arabic that came with vB3.0.3 ..

can i use it with ver vB3.0.4 or i need to re-translate The whole file again :( ?!

[Paul Stenning]

I have just updated our two forums from 3.0.3 to 3.0.4 with no problems. There are no hacks installed, which obviously makes it much easier.

i'd say either newthread.php or newreply.php?

[funkmiester]

Just upgraded 2 forums without a problem.

Only thing I've noticed is in admincp - the Latest version available: is showing up as N/A.

Not a big deal, but thought you should know. Will it resolve itself in time?

[pirrup]

some things like shoutbox and advertising on forumhome are ****ed .

In firefox i see them but in IE people don't see them or see them but not correct (layout ****ed)

Those are hacks - you have you re-apply the code changes again to make them work (as with every upgrade) Make sure the hacks work with 3.0.4. Jelsoft doesn't provide support for custom code.

You can upgrade now. I don't understand what you mean with another one. The big rumoured upgrade? That won't be for a short while. There is no ETA on it yet as it is still in development.

In my board and in this board also.

There was a previous bug in the newreply.php file. This had to do with new posts by the poster (me for example) being shown as "unread". There was a code fix which I put into the newreply.php file which corrected the problem.

My question is whether the new upgrade 3.0.4 fixes that problem or do I need to save my current new reply php file and use that after the upgrade?

Thanks,

I fixed my issue by modifying template.php in the admincp folder. I just removed some text from the browser list. "OR is_browser('Mozilla')" it works fine now. :) but still needs looking at by the vb devs for those who don't understand php.

[Iaco]

ok I'm sorry ........

I have upgraded my e-mail in members area.

I hope that now my profile it's ok .....

Don't mind your hacks , they can wait , just upgrade...

Are there any table changes associated with 3.0.3 tio 3.0.4? As in new fields, removed fields, or changes in field types? Or new tables?

I am wondering this as well... I manually changed all required .php files but my forum still shows at 3.0.3 ?? Is there an sql script that must be run as well?

[BootsSiR]

anyone?

I think the display can be fixed with just editing some phrazes..

lol i didn't mean to swear :) and i found what the problem was , i did re-apply but it had it in the code twice .

sorry to disturb

[Reverend]

Upgraded here. No probs so far.

BTW, wasn't the includes/init.php changed in this release ?
Mike hasn't listed it in the announcement thread (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showpost.php?p=787570&postcount=4)

[Dennis Olson]

Word to the wise: Never install a brand new piece of software. Ever. Wait awhile, and see how many others got hurt by it, and if those problems were repaired. (I've been in IT a LONG time.... ;))

[XiRoCCo]

what am i missing here -- just logged into the members area to d/l newest 3.0.4 version, but the download file is still 3.0.3

I have spent all day importing phpBBB into 3.0.3.
I've installed vBadvanced.
I'm fixing smilies and now I need to start over. :eek:
I guess it is better to do this before I go live.

goddamn it, i just upgraded to vb3.0.3 and reinstalled all my hacks ......

I know the feeling :rolleyes:

But really, use "Beyond Compare" or something similar. I just did the upgrade and got everything back to my way within about 45 minutes :p

[mOdEtWo]

There was a previous bug in the newreply.php file. This had to do with new posts by the poster (me for example) being shown as "unread". There was a code fix which I put into the newreply.php file which corrected the problem.

I've had problems with this aswell, I also had to change some code in newreply to get it fixed. I cannot seem to find the bug report on this tho.

Could we get an answear to if this is fixed or not? Cheers.

[Electronic Punk]

All upgraded. Cheers :)

[JasonWilliams]

I'm not sure about upgrading my vB 3.0.3, I have quite a few hacks installed plus a style, does an upgrade mess these about and make them unstable/unuseable?

I haven't upgraded before, please excuse my "newbieness"!

<edit>Just out of interest, if I'm not able to do this, and the easiest thing is a fresh install, what DB tables do I need to keep to reinstall users and posts and relevant info?</edit>
Thanks!

JW

[Zachery]

Jason first read this http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=124989

Second doing that is the hardest longest most painfull route of upgrading, just do a normal upgrade its much much simplier. Because moving the db tables back is just restoring your system to waht it was before, not upgrading.


Upgrading will not modify your templates in anyway but like i said read my faq.

[Zachery]

I've had problems with this aswell, I also had to change some code in newreply to get it fixed. I cannot seem to find the bug report on this tho.

IT should have.

[Electronic Punk]

Yes, upgrade can make database changes and also makes it very easy to identify which templates may need updating.

And erm, most importantly will increment your version no. ;)

[jluerken]

I uploaded all files that changed from 3.0.3 to 3.0.4 and started the upgrade process.
All seemed to work fine.
Afterwards I used Beyond Compare to include my hacks again and also this worked.

Thanks Jelsoft!

btw: I am missing phrases now for the admincp. The translations are there but the english originals are gone.

Any idea?

[sharif]

What is beyond compare?

[Bunny]

yep.
keep making upgrades so I get a more secure version when I buy ;)

[jluerken]

What is beyond compare?

It compares files and directories and shows the differences in an easy way.
I will never update my board again without it. Its worth its money cause it saved me already dozens of hours.

[anhtuancool]

I can't open or edit templates, any idea? :(

Upgraded succesfully anyway, thanks for those hardworks ;)

[jluerken]

Ok I deleted the phrase table now to and restored the old phrases table from my backup to get my english phrases back.

Is is possible to get a small list which phrases were changed or added so that we can do changes or additions on our own manually?
You did this for the files that changed and it would be nice to get this also for the phrases.

[FreekBoy]

Upgraded, everything seemed to go smooth, and everything is working right :cool:.

You would have to reinstall all your hacks. They should work, nothing big seemed to of changed in this version. My arcade hack works. :)

[ixl]

Simple question that I hope has a simple answer. And I did read through all 14 pages of this thread and didn't see it so I hope I didn't miss it. :D

I have two vB boards, one heavily hacked, one not. I would prefer NOT to upgrade them at this time. My only concern is with the security / safety issues I saw mentioned.

The release notes mention vulnerabilities in PHP and SQL, and then a new init.php which is intended to protect against the SQL issues. Does this mean that installling init.php alone leaves the PHP vulnerabilities?

Bottom line I guess is that I would like to know if it is safe to continue running 3.0.3 with the new init.php, or if I need to go to 3.0.4 to be safe. Thanks.

[Watson]

Whats a good compare program, I got too many hacks I dont wanna loose. And ay ideas on how to use em?

From the list of files that have been changed in 3.0.4 i have found one NOT listed

includes\functions_upload.php

[BamaStangGuy]

I have downloaded a fresh install of the files and rehacked them and then reuplaoded them to my server

Now how do I go about upgrading just the templates?

My version shows 3.0.3 still even though it has all the 3.0.4 files... what controls the version number?

You need to run the upgrade.php script, that why upgrade.php script was born for, to update new info into your database.

This is my first attempt at upgrading vB, and I just wanted to say what a dream it was compared to my previous software. It went like clockwork and I couldn't be happier. Great documentation, great support, great software.

It was a big move for me converting to vB but it was the best thing I've done in ages and I'll be purchasing more licences soon. Thanks team!

If you have alot of hacks installed on your forum like I do you can get Beyond Compare to help you make the changes to your files. You can get it over at www.scootersoftware.com (http://www.scootersoftware.com).

after running the 3.03 to 3.04 upgrade my calendar is failing.
Old events can not be clicked on > I get a php error message.

This may have something to do with the proposed bug fix: 3523 http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs.php?do=view&bugid=3523

I kept my calendar.php file based on the bug threat discussion and it works under 3.04. The calendar.php file supplied does not work for me.

Thanks for 3.0.4, glad to see your on top of major bugs/vulnerabilities. It's actually been quite awhile since 3.0.3 release. I'm surprised that so many are suprised that 3.0.4 popped up :rolleyes:

Hi
Yesterday I upgraded my forum from 3.0.3 to 3.0.4, and every thing be ok.
But today there are an error message say:
mysql error: Can't open file: 'post.MYD'. (errno: 145)
And I can't see the details in post table and attachmentviews table.

I want to know is this problem related to the new version or it just and adventitious situation?
My host says this problem solves with run 'myisamchk' on the effected tables to repair the tables, if I do that, is it will solve the problem for ever?

[Zachery]

Please for future issues use the support forums not the announcment forum. however it will fix the issue untill the table crashes again, and this is outside of our control

[Mmotorwerks]

Can someone give me some really quick help. I don't understand the uploading process so to speak. http://www.seboc.com/forum is currently where my forum is at. Do I put the upload folder in the forum portion or just upload it to the root directory and rename it forum and delete the old one or something?


Thanks,
Chad

[Zachery]

Please start a support thread in the Installation and Upgrades forum, however before doing so read the How to upgrade vBulletin FAQ at the top of the page.

Lower your internet security settings or shutdown any download accelerators, or simply try another browser to download it. And try again :)

Has this been answered definitively by a vB representative? I've read all 16 pages of this thread, maybe I missed it. I think a fair number of admins with hacks installed, and given the rumor of a major release in the next months... are just wondering if an up2date PHP and the 3.04 init.php are sufficient at this point. Thanks much.

[Floris]

If you only patch init.php you are making it safer, but .. only if your PHP is version 4.3.10 or higher. As lower php versions have a vunreability which could be exploited.

Yes, I have the same problem too. It was strange cause I uploaded the init.php file to the other 2 forums as well but there's no problem at all. The 3 forums are located in the same server & have the same type & amount of hacks installed. Only in one forum, the error appears.

Will my graphics or CSS revert back to the default vBulletin if I upgrade to this new version?

Don't upload the images folder and your graphics should be fine.

As for CSS, it doesn't get reverted on upgrades.

Is there a way I can upgrade without loosing all those hacks I installed?

Nope :)

It would show the md5'ed version of your password + salt, which is useless when the cookie also contains your ln.

Now, please go into the support forums (which this is not) and post your problem, if you feel this is a bug please report it in the bug tracker.
