[klisis]

Well, I always have had hard time click on "Next step" while upgrading, hoping that "Please God, no error please!" ;)

[wajones]

Can you tell us which scripts got changed to minimize any hacks we are working on?

Is this the final Beta release? *crosses fingers*

[Joe]

If its basicly bug free, yes... if theres quite a few bugs, probly not... (not an official answer)

[Kier]

We're pretty happy with beta 5. Let's wait and see what turns up.

[Fred]

I truly hope this is the last beta and all the bugs and gliches are fixed up. The features are excellent, and I could ask for no more.

Keep it up deve team, this is one hell of a peice of equipment.

Also, on a side note/ question, if this is the last beta and we're ont he final release next. How long do you expect it do be released from the final beta?

[Kier]

If this is the final beta, and no one knows whether it will be or not, we will have at least one release-candidate version before we declare vBulletin 2.0 stable and release the gold version.

[jojo85]

Gooddddd Job

[JamesUS]

I only got beta 4 set up on Sunday :D you guys are too fast.

[IanMFT]

Damn...feels much more responsive on yhe shared server I'm on...godd work everyone! :D

[YellowKard]

I'm glad to see for once the software team upgrading more often then the user end.:D

[Streicher]

You are fast. Last night i have finished (95%) of converting my translated (german) templates of beta 3 to beta 4.1. And now there is beta 5.

[Sven]

Thats why I'm going to wait for the release candidate before doing any furhter translation :D

[Sharg]

Hi,
in the change log I see this:


- options for controlling cancelled messages more


But I see no corresponding template change for this unless i'm mistaken ??

[cihangir]

i did most of the translation, but after upgrading to beta 4 and 5, i must say i have to do it from the beginning. :rolleyes:

next time i will wait for the release of the final version :p

If you choose to use the 'delete' option rather than the 'cancel' option in the CP, pressing the [Cancel] button on the message tracking page will remove the message completely instead of merely blanking it out.

Yes lol,when you just finished to upgrade to a beta you need to re-upgrade to another ;)

[Sharg]

Yes, but this is a small upgrade, not like previous upgrade that requested so much work with all the new templates and all :eek: :cool:

[WebAddict]

So far, everything looks good... I can't wait for the GOLD Version!!! Good work vB team! Thanks Kier for your support... :)

[offroad]

Good work fellas but hurry up :) Everytime you update the message board I have to re hack it up to fix on my site :)

[Robert Basil]

I just upgraded from b3 to b5 (via b3 to b4.1 and then b5)

Here is what I have:

Show today's birthdays on the homepage?
Yes

Display logged in users on home page
Yes

Here is what a Don't have

Birthdays showing on homepage?
No

Record Users showing on homepage?
No

My original "forumhome" has this code:


<!-- text -->
<table cellpadding=10 border=0 width="100%" cellspacing="0"><tr align="right">

<td valign="bottom" align="left" width="50%"><normalfont><b>
<img src="{imagesfolder}/vb_bullet.gif" align="absmiddle"> $bbtitle</b>
<br><br>
<smallfont>Registered Members: <b>$numbermembers</b><br>
<b>$totalthreads</b> threads in total<b> | </b> <b>$totalposts</b> posts in total</smallfont></normalfont></td>

<td valign="bottom" width="50%" nowrap>
<p><smallfont><b>$welcometext</b><br>
You last visited: $bbuserinfo[lastvisitdate].<br>
The time now is $timenow. $newposts.</smallfont><br>
<smallfont>Welcome to our newest member, <a href="member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$newuserid">$newusername</a>.</smallfont></p></td>
</tr>
$unregwelcomemessage
</table>
<!-- /text -->


And my "custom" forumhome template has this code:


<!-- text -->
<table cellpadding=10 border=0 width="100%" cellspacing="0"><tr align="right">

<td valign="bottom" align="left" width="50%"><normalfont><b>
<img width="30" height="21" src="{imagesfolder}/on.gif" align="absmiddle"> $bbtitle</b>
<br><br>
<smallfont>Registered Members: <b>1$numbermembers</b><br>
<b>$totalthreads</b> threads in total<b> | </b> <b>$totalposts</b> posts in total</smallfont></normalfont></td>

<td valign="bottom" width="50%" nowrap>
<p><smallfont><b>$welcometext</b><br>

</tr>
$unregwelcomemessage
</table>
<!-- /text -->


So what is wrong?

I am about ready to pull my hair out tonight. :(

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

[YellowKard]

after "posts in total" add $birthdaybits for the birthday feature

and the most logged on feature is in forumhome_loggedinusers and should look like "Most users ever online at once was $recordusers on $recorddate at $recordtime"

[Robert Basil]

Originally posted by YellowKard

I added the text above and still nothing. I do have the "Show today's birthdays on the homepage?" and it is set to "yes".

I don't seem to have a "birthdaybits" template, should I have this?

The above worked great, thanks!

One problem down and one to go!

vBulletin is not internationalized yet. It will support multiple languages in a future version. Right now the only supported language is English.

all went good though...

[jojo85]

Hehe :p

[AA_Guru]

I can't get the beta version to install... Most likely because I ran install instead of using upgrade over the demo version I had running. What is the correct way to get a fresh, empty install in a database with demo and beta 5 tables already there?

[Aaron Pepper]

Drop all the tables in your database, delete all your vB files..re-upload them then run the install1.php file.

[AA_Guru]

Thanks. Now, I've got to get the %^$(#^& MySQL Admin to let me drop tables...

[slinky]

Can't reset the styles to the default and also can't make changes back from the border that was changed.

See http://www.boldplans.com/forums/

It will be obvious what I'm talking about -- that ugly green can't be removed with the templates easily. I only edited body tag and page background color. Changing them back didn't do anything. Reset button didn't reset either.

Solved the problem with the green border. In order to "reset" the values you have to delete the entry and then submit. It will delete the entire entry. However, reset still doesn't work.

Reset only resets the values in the boxes to what they were when the page was loaded if you have changed them, not what they were at any time in the past. It's just a standard HTML form reset button.

Good work ;)
vBulletin Version 2.0.0 beta 5
:cool:


I just upgraded from b4 to b5

birthdays
not working

[Eugenie2000]

Eugenie2000<---- Has his fingers crossed that gold version will be out by April 21st.


Why can't G-d be more forgiving and make Easter break correspond with the release of VB2.0 final??;)

Good job dev team! I plan to buy a bunch o licenses for the sites i'm working on (Hmm, my clients never seem to understand that Free is not Free, Free=hidden cost).

I know this last paragraph is off topic but are there any posts here where people are discussing the .com meltdown (among large $500,000+ funded sites)?
Boo.com really pisses me off. 17 million and they get a half functioning product. They should have hired you guys, hehe.

Has anyone figured out the average age of VB users? Alot of sitepoint users are in the 13-18 range and the 27-35 range.

[AA_Guru]

I noticed that with the default install, the vBulletin logo is broken. No image is found. I use WS_FTP and had selected the "change filename to lower case option," which caused no problems other than that.

{titleimage} is replaced by images/vBulletin_logo.gif

This is obviously NOT a bug, but... just thought I'd let you know.

[Sean]

Ok, I have a question. Should I change all my templates (about only 15 changed, but the main ones were changed) back to the original until the full version is out. Or will I be fine if I just leave em'?

There's no harm in leaving them, it's up to you. You will always have the originals to refer to, anyway.

You must revert the privfolder template, or things will start going wrong...

[Sean]

Thanks. :)

[Rishel]

Is there any feature planned officially for an administrative option to purge dead users, or users that posted maybe less than 5 times in a time frame administratively set?
