[PitchouneN64ngc]

Thank you for this release ;)

[Genschi]

3 versions in the same time !! Thanks for this relase !

[Floris]

Good stuff .. I will upgrade my sites as soon as possible.

[Kier]

3 versions in the same time !! Thanks for this relase !
Yeah... that was quite a feat.

[adb22791]

Wow, look at that list of fixes... nice job!

[TruthElixirX]

Awesome./ Glad I waited unti lthe maintance release.

[Cowboysfan]

That didn't take long.

Back to work :)

Thanks for the update!

[ManagerJosh]

Nice job on your first release Andreas :p

[Quillz]

Yeah... that was quite a feat.
And now I've quite a feat ahead of me... Upgrading my board from 3.0.9 to 3.5.1.

[absolutc]

If we upgrade, does that wipe out any changes we have made to the board?

[Kier]

If we upgrade, does that wipe out any changes we have made to the board?
No, upgrading will not remove any changes you may have made to the board.

[Scott MacVicar]

As always, it only wipes out changes in your PHP files when you overwrite them.

The Templates and Phrases are left as they are and you change them manually.

[Neal-UK]

So if a template has to be reverted for some reason, it will ask you first right? I've no file edits as far as I know but I do have some modded templates.

[loonytune15]

Upgrading currently, wish i had Broadband...

Thanks for all your hard work VB Peeps.

[Scott MacVicar]

So if a template has to be reverted for some reason, it will ask you first right? I've no file edits as far as I know but I do have some modded templates.
You need to go the AdminCP and then click Show Updated Templates and then either chose to revert your customised templates or manually make the changes.

[Andreas]

So if a template has to be reverted for some reason, it will ask you first right? I've no file edits as far as I know but I do have some modded templates.
The upgrade script will not revert any customized templates. You will have to to that on your own, if the you have customized templates that must be revertes.

[Miko]

got to love vbulletin fixing MS explorer exploit ;)
Thank you for the update.

[Quillz]

No, upgrading will not remove any changes you may have made to the board.
Will upgrading from 3.5.0 to 3.5.1 (or say from 3.5.1 to 3.5.2 sometime in the future) remove any plugins?

[Andreas]

No. All Plugins will still be installed and active after the upgrade.

[ExtProof]

what does the rep look like? does anyone have this installed, so I can see what they mean by same window

[Vile]

Keep up the good work as usual :)

[mr_snob]

upgraded and everything is OK now. thank you vB team

[smackLAN]

upgraded smooth and painlessly...I like the template message...although it's now staring me in the face constantly telling me I have more work :p

[BradE]

I'm having a strange upgrade issue on my test board. I uploaded the files, as usual, and when I run the upgrade script I get a page cannot be displayed message.

I thought could have been some sketchy uploads so I loaded them all again, no dice. It worked fine before, and I'm not a complete vB newb, but I'm not sure what's going on here.

Edit: I just reloaded my 3.5 files and it works fine, so something is up.

[cbiweb]

we would recommend that you fully upgrade your board rather than simply patch it wherever possible.
If it is recommended that we upgrade rather than patch it, why provide the patch? What disservice would I be doing to myself by not fully upgrading?

[Citizen E]

Shouldn't the version number change?

[Michelle]

If it is recommended that we upgrade rather than patch it, why provide the patch? What disservice would I be doing to myself by not fully upgrading? Losing your file edits (if you have any) I guess ;)

I can't believe that so many admins have solved the AJAX problem themselves and the only thing that Jelsoft could do was to include the ability to disable AJAX and still consider the problems as "currently unfixable" :rolleyes::rolleyes:
Of course it's a worse shame that those admins won't share their solutions :(

I have the same on my forum. Probably eAccelerator or Zend Optimizer being old.

[PitchouneN64ngc]

The patch are for guys where can't have access to the Member's Area and have an Owned Licence (like me) :)

[Michelle]

The patch are for guys where can't have access to the Member's Area and have an Owned Licence (like me) :)
Oh yeah, that also. I didn't think of it :)

[Citizen E]

ok quick question, are we actually running the upgrade script here or just overwriting files?

[BradE]

I have the same on my forum. Probably eAccelerator or Zend Optimizer being old.

Might want to put out a notice 3.5.1 won't work with some versions of eAccelerator.

[PitchouneN64ngc]

http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/upgrade :)

[Miko]

upgraded smooth and painlessly...I like the template message...although it's now staring me in the face constantly telling me I have more work :p

LOL same here.....

Message doesn't go away even after updating all of the templates.
It still show that I have 1000s of custom templates but once i actually search for them nothing show up since i have update them to 3.5.1

would have been good to actually make that message go away once the templates are updated to 3.5.1........... just don't release a new version just for that :P

[rob30UK]

help.... my board is down big time because of this upgrade.... dunno what to do!!

Details here http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=161751

[Orilly]

Alright so you just put the patch_vBulletin_350 into the forum directories and then do the template changes and its upgraded to 3.5.1 ?

[totenmaske]

Shouldn't the version number change?

Same issue here, uploaded all files and ran upgrade.php but version number still says 3.5.0? (And I tried refreshing the pages and clearing cache and using IE instead of FF!).

[Darkblade]

Wow thanks for this release. Quick question. Am I going to lose all the plugins/products on my forums while the upgrade?

[QtrCafe]

Thanks alot for the upgrade.

I have a quick question thgough!!

I've read it in another forum that if you are using an older version of PHP 4.4.x you would have a problem running the forum ..

is that true?? cuz I'm using 4.3.11

should I upgrade or do what?

[Nintendo]

Other than security stuff, this looks more like a downgrade, the rep system doesn't us the simple pop-up any more.

[Tantawi]

Upgraded fine from 3.5 -> 3.5.1.

Thanks vBulletin!

[Silviu]

Shouldn't the version change as well?

[Brad.loo]

Was wondering when this one would come out. Thanks for the release guys, now I'm off to update all my styles. ;)

[MrNase]

Edit:

Got it :p

Thanks for the release :)

[BoYagoob]

Before upgrading ..

Is it better to DISABLE the plugins/products system?
OR
It does not matter if I enable or disable this system?

[VaaKo]

I just wanna ask one question, will the 3.5.0 templates/skins work on 3.5.1?
im gonna just upload the files and run the upgrade script, do I need to do anything else?

[MrNase]

How do we deal with the Datastore Cache?

Before the update I removed


$config['Datastore']['class'] = 'vB_Datastore_Filecache';


from config.php and I plan to add it again once the files are all uploaded :)

[Mike Sullivan]

Losing your file edits (if you have any) I guess ;)

I can't believe that so many admins have solved the AJAX problem themselves and the only thing that Jelsoft could do was to include the ability to disable AJAX and still consider the problems as "currently unfixable" :rolleyes::rolleyes:
Of course it's a worse shame that those admins won't share their solutions :(
No matter what we do to help work out the issue, this is all you post. There is now an option to disable AJAX -- prevents the issue you have. Iconv is now used automatically if you have it to do character set conversions -- fixes the issue you have provided you have it installed. (If it's not compiled into your PHP, we can't do much else.)

If it's about the %u thing, any sort of searching will tie it to mod_security and it's trivial to show a demo of the issue for hosts. I've already shown this several times. We can't do anything about host misconfigurations.

[TJF008]

Just to summarise what I previously wrote here: Does the patch 2 file overwrite just fix the security flaw alone while the upgrade fixes the security flaw as well as other vB bugs?

[jonsimmonds]

Thanks for the quick update, I was only reading about some of those flaws last night!

all updated with no issues :)

edit, my add reputation page does not have any footer etc, is that right?

[weirdpixels]

thanks for the update :) All went fine
The new template features really make updating custom templates so much easier :D

[Scott MacVicar]

Just to summarise what I previously wrote here: Does the patch 2 file overwrite just fix the security flaw alone while the upgrade fixes the security flaw as well as other vB bugs?
The patch simply fixes the security problems with IE and PHP, it doesn't fix any of the other bugs.

Its mainly meant for people who have expired licenses or who do not have time to complete a full upgrade until some time in the future.

[hjmaier]

I am not sure.

Does this fix also correct the new PHP security issue (uploading)? You just wrote that you did a few workarounds, but i want to be sure.

Best regards
Hans-Joachim

[Scott MacVicar]

It fixes it for vBulletin but its possible that other applications on your server could be affected so upgrading PHP is the best solution.

[hjmaier]

Thank you, Scott. I only run vBulletin on my server, so i can wait untill SuSe releases an update. I disabled temporally all uploads in my forum.

Best regards

would have been good to actually make that message go away once the templates are updated to 3.5.1I have the same issue...is there a way to make that message go away once the code edits are completed?

just don't release a new version just for that :P
LOL...for sure!!

[TTG]

Upgraded smoothly .. only 12 template changes to work on later :)

[Miko]

The reputation template is missing the $footer before the </body> tag.
making the reputation page look very odd.

To fix the problem open and edit the reputation template and replace the whole template with:


$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
$headinclude
<title>$vboptions - $vbphrase[reputation]</title>
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">$vbphrase[reputation]</td>
</tr>
$reputationbit
</table>
[B]$footer
</body>
</html>


Now the reputation page will have a footer and will look much better ;)

[cbiweb]

I'm kinda wondering if I should hold off on upgrading. Seems there are some glitches in the code.

[michaelbenson]

I dont recall any glitches being reported.
It is working like a charm for me :) 3.5.0 > 3.5.1

[Zelda-King]

To be honest it was my most terrible vBulletin upgrade ever but it wasn't anything to do with vBulletin. I kept getting 'transfer failed' with SmartFTP in the middle of uploads so I had to reinstall it. I had several templates to revert/redo as well but aside from that, the upgrade itself went very smoothly. :)

[NBSFlak]

Do I just upload the patch files from the release page or the whole zip install from member downloads?

[EcKo^uK]

nice one

[Snowy]

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1002691&postcount=8

LOL ok forget my support ticket :) lol

Thanks guys

[Floris]

Might want to put out a notice 3.5.1 won't work with some versions of eAccelerator.Until I am sure what is causing it, there won't be any notice. We always say that you should keep your software up to date :)

[Dean C]

Could you provide more information on the image upload exploit? I'm interested to see if I can patch it in my latest application before it launches next week :)

[eclectica]

I kept getting 'transfer failed' with SmartFTP in the middle of uploads so I had to reinstall it.

I used to have problems like that but found that using FileZilla (http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/) gives me few errors when uploading by way of ftp.

[Zelda-King]

I used to have problems like that but found that using FileZilla (http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/) gives me few errors when uploading by way of ftp.Thanks, I'll give that a try. This is the first time SmartFTP started doing that for me all the same.

[nepolia]

I have serious problems with my FTP access, is there any way I can prevent users from uploading pictures (that was the main security risk wasn't it?) until I can establish a working FTP access?

[Scott MacVicar]

Dean see http://www.securiteam.com/windowsntfocus/6F00B00EBY.html

[Scott MacVicar]

I have serious problems with my FTP access, is there any way I can prevent users from uploading pictures (that was the main security risk wasn't it?) until I can establish a working FTP access? Its at the PHP level so even disabling image uploads can still cause the problem since this happens before the PHP script is executed, the IE one can be prevented by disabling attachment viewing.

[Msozer]

What is the differences between 3.5.0 3.5.1 ?

[feldon23]

[Msozer]

Thanks !

[Freddie Bingham]

The 3.5.1 Upgrade/Install should present you with an error if you have an older version of eAccelerator/MMCache/APC. You'll also get the same error in the admincp index page if you have an older version installed.

[cbiweb]

I dont recall any glitches being reported.
It is working like a charm for me :) 3.5.0 > 3.5.1I've been seeing threads reporting various issues with upgrading, or code gone AWOL in templates, stuff like that. Maybe a lot of it is user error, though. Hopefully.

[PixelFX]

Thank you for the updates :D

wondering if I should try installing mysql 5.0 again ..

[Creepshow]

So is the version number meant to change... or what?

[ItsJustMe]

My webhost runs PHP 4.3.11, should I not upgrade?

Thanks for your help. :)

[007]

Ever since upgrading from 3.5 to 3.5.1, I can no longer log out of my forums, and neither can my members...

Is anybody else experiencing this issue?

[alshamly]

thankkkkkkk you

[Electronic Punk]

What is the reason for changing the reputation window to a new page?

[RMS-Chef]

Thanks devs.
What would have taken all afternoon took me 45min start to finish. And that is only because I have a ton of edited templates.

And to the above question. I am not having any logout issues.

[dsotmoon]

The 3.5.1 Upgrade/Install should present you with an error if you have an older version of eAccelerator/MMCache/APC. You'll also get the same error in the admincp index page if you have an older version installed.

if the upgrade went smooth in 3.5.0 should it go smooth in 3.5.1, or is it a change in 3.5.1 that causes this error with eAccelerator/MMCache/APC

[wii]

The new version doesn´t allow me to install a new style, don´t have any problems using 3.5 but 3.5.1 doesn´t. I´m on a Windows server. What am I missing ?

[cujo]

Just did a rm -rf * and upgraded to 3.5.1.

Everything seems fine so far... except it still says I am using 3.5.0.

What do I need to do to correct this?

[Steve Machol]

You need to run upgrade.php.

[cujo]

./upgrade.php from the prompt or from within the browser?

I just moved the install dir so I could get into the CP.

Thx.

[Steve Machol]

From the browser, as per the upgrade instructions.

[funkmiester]

The 3.5.1 Upgrade/Install should present you with an error if you have an older version of eAccelerator/MMCache/APC. You'll also get the same error in the admincp index page if you have an older version installed.What are the minimum version numbers we should be ideally running with to avoid these issues?

[Scott MacVicar]

just go with the latest off the respective websites. I believe its due to the change for arrays in 4.3.10+ that has caused the problem.

[ComputerVitals]

Quick quick question I'm still confused on.
I have 3.5.0 To upgrade do I enter the members area and redownload Vbulletin 3.5.1? or is there a seperate upgrade?

I have downloaded the Vbulletin and the patch. I would like to upgrade so what do I upload?

[joeychgo]

Other than security stuff, this looks more like a downgrade, the rep system doesn't us the simple pop-up any more.

I agree - I dont like this either.

[ItsJustMe]

just go with the latest off the respective websites. I believe its due to the change for arrays in 4.3.10+ that has caused the problem.

Scott, is this an answer to my question:

"My webhost runs PHP 4.3.11, should I not upgrade?"

If it is, then you're saying to go ahead and upgrade? And if it isn't an answer to my question, could someone answer it? Another poster had the same question. :)

Thanks so much!

[BoYagoob]

Same question, I hope to find the answer for it. :(

[J-J]

Hello everyone,


Any news about an incoporation of "bugtrakker" in a future release ?

[TygerTyger]

Suggestion: You have a list of changed files in the announcements thread, but you don't have a download in the members area of simply changed files since the previous version. I'd like to see one...

[Omri.L]

Thank you for fixing the following "bugs", you are awesome ;)

after upgrading I used the template-future to check whice templates had change and I saw only four changed. In 3.5.1 thread I saw a bigger list of changes. Can I revert only the templates that my vBulletin found?

[mankoff]

Is there a way to get automatic alerts of these updates? I'd prefer to learn about security upgrades immediately via my email inbox rather than have to check this site. I seem to remember getting an email previously from vBulletin, but I just stumbled across this 3.5.1 upgrade by chance...

Log into the Admin Control Panel. Big, big notice on the home page :)

[mankoff]

Log into the Admin Control Panel. Big, big notice on the home page :)

OK, not bad. Thanks for that hint.

But I could make a pretty good argument that vBulletin is so awesome and stable and maintains itself so well that I don't need to do admin stuff but once a month or less! So I still might not see that notice for days or weeks...

[Freddie Bingham]

An email will be sent but they are always sent after we are sure the current release is functioning as expected.

[Lord Angelus]

Smooth upgrade from 3.5.0, once I could download the fixed(Or perhaps just modified) class_core.php file.

Nice work.

[PixelFX]

should I wait for vb3.5.2 before upgrading my site? or is vb3.5.1 stable enough for upgrading? I don't want to spend another 3 days setting up my site only to get another build :P

[ViViD]

Hello
I replaced this two files ... But is there anyway to upgrading versions and hiding ( you have an old version ) in admincp ?

[Steve Machol]

Apply the patch files is not the same as upgrading.

[cbiweb]

Ah! That's what I asked earlier, but didn't really get a good answer - or one that was clear to me. Why isn't it the same?

[Steve Machol]

One is a simple patch to plug the holes and the other is a full upgrade, including all bug fixes and improvements..

[cbiweb]

I see. Great, thanks. :)

[feldon23]

should I wait for vb3.5.2 before upgrading my site? or is vb3.5.1 stable enough for upgrading? I don't want to spend another 3 days setting up my site only to get another build :P
Why does it take you 3 days to upgrade from vB3.5.0 to vB3.5.1?

[Darkblade]

Just upgraded to v3.5.1 and everything works smoothly! :)

Thanks Jelsoft.

[Gomjaba]

Just upgraded to v3.5.1 and everything works smoothly! :)

Thanks Jelsoft.
Same here, it took me approx 5 minutes, 4 minutes were for ftp upload

Good Job !!!!

[Lottis]

Just upgraded to v3.5.1 and everything works smoothly! :)

Thanks Jelsoft.
Same here. But i dident like the new way to give rep. ;)
But this was easy. Thanx

[abna2005]

upgraded and everything is OK now. thank you vB team

[S-M]

I can't understand the procedure. The text file included in the file doesn't match the instructions in the online manual and I don't know which parts of which instructions to follow.

The vb_readme.txt says

"Upload all files from the 'upload/' folder in the zip, with the exception of 'install/install.php'. Then open the 'upload/includes/' folder. In this you will find config.php.new. You should rename this to config.php and then open it in a text editor."

Then it doesn't go on to say what to edit in it once you open it in a text editor.

What is needed to just upgrade 3.5 to 3.5.1?

[Rasbelin]

Then it doesn't go on to say what to edit in it once you open it in a text editor.

The best way to do it is always make a new config.php file each time you upgrade, so that you don't miss any possible change/s that have been made to the configuration file. Basically just open config.php.new you've downloaded, make the edits as per the instructions it contains and save it as config.php.


What is needed to just upgrade 3.5 to 3.5.1?

Download from the member area the version of the archive which doesn't include the images (because no images were changed). Unless you already have the 3.5.1 files. Then extract all those files, do the config.php thing I mentioned above, remove config.php.new and upload over FTP all those files. When your FTP client asks to overwrite, just do so.

If you already had the image files too, then don't upload them.

Of course remember to close the forum while upgrading or make sure by other means it can't be accessed.

[Rasbelin]

Upgraded from vB 3.5.0 to 3.5.1. Had to do some template reverts like usually, but all in all a painless update. :)

Thank you for this latest upgrade!

There are 4 different versions to download. Do just need the XML files? The version says "Package: no images" seems to include an images folder despite being named "no images."
After editing the config.php file, do I drag all the files in the upload folder into the forum folder?

[ChrisTech]

http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/upgrade :)

Would be nice if they did an update for each upgrade they do for us new "not yet informed on how exactly to upgrade/update our new found cool forums"

I read the forums, and didn't realize I had to upload the files and run the upgrade script. Kinda figured it out on my own. Need to create a thread that says "Plain Simple way to upgrade your forum" or "forum upgrades for idiots" If I had seen the latter, I would of headed there right away, as that's the place for me. ;)

I've got it all figured out, and looks like the upgrade is completed. Just a bit more help for the first timer would be apperciated. And as always, I could just be blind, and missed it entirely.

[S-M]

Just upgraded from 3.5.0 >to> 3.5.1 and everything works smoothly .. :)

I tried upgrading and got a database error as soon as I attempted to load the upgrade.php page, so I had to go back the 3.5.0 backup I saved.

How did you upgrade?

[Scott MacVicar]

Are you running MySQL 3.23? It should show you in the admincp if you have the extended stats on.

[S-M]

Are you running MySQL 3.23? It should show you in the admincp if you have the extended stats on.

MySQL 4.1.14

[FROGGYJ]

Well I have a couple questions, which I may know the answers already, but figured I would ask anyways.

1. If the upgrade only alters php files, then I am to assume any plugins or extensions will remain active from 3.5.0 Gold....however any code modification mods will be required once again.

2. If I created any custom templates, I will have to re-create them?

[shar3gr]

Nice thanks, vBulletin is cool...

[unknowngiver]

Hey will all the plugins n mods will be removed when i upgrade?

[S-M]

Does anyone have clear instructions on how to upgrade from 3.5.0 to 3.5.1?
I tried following the instructions in the text file and the online manual and the installation failed.
The intructions were not clear. I think they assume I already know to do some additional steps not written in the instructions.

[Phoebus]

Hi,
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but upgrading from 3.5.0 to 3.5.1, I uploaded the two files to the /includes directory, then ran the upgrade script, all the way through to return to the admin, and it still shows as version 3.5.0.
I've checked the files on the server, and they're indeed the updated files, and run the upgrade script again; actually three times now, and I'm still getting the same thing.
Any help appreciated...

Thank you,
William

[feldon23]

Why are people surprised when the version number does NOT increment when they do NOT upgrade the software?

The upgrade from vB3.5.0 to vB3.5.1 has changes and bugfixes to nearly every file (60+ files and 15 templates changed from vB3.5.0 to vB3.5.1 (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1002391)).

If you patch/replace a couple of files, you are not upgrading the software -- you are patching the software. vB3.5.0 with a couple of patches/replaced files is still vB3.5.0.

If you want to upgrade vB3.5.0 to vB3.5.1, download a complete copy of vB3.5.1, upload the files to your website's forum directory (overwriting all the old ones) and run /install/upgrade.php. Your forum posts, members, styles, etc. are safely stored in the MySQL database.

Security patching is made available for those people who:
* Do not have time to synch up their templates
* Have modified the 3.5.0 PHP source files for vB and do not have time to migrate those changes to vB3.5.1.
* Do not have access to the Member's Area because their yearly access has expired

Everyone else should do the full upgrade.


unknowngiver,

Plug-ins and styles will be retained. Hacks/Mods will not.

[S-M]

I tried again by copying all the files and not editing the config.php file and it worked this time.

[Phoebus]

That clears it up, much appreciated.

[Gomjaba]

Skype integration will be included in the next vBulletin release, which will be 3.5.2.


I don't care about Skype, but is there 3.5.2 any time soon ? I hope not ;)

[Onimua]

Glad to see many bug fixes implemented. :)

[xmlxp]

when i was upgrading from 3.0.1 to 3.5.1 on my TEST forum i got error in one of the steps :

Warning: strpos(): Offset not contained in string. in /home/saifxp/public_html/vb351/includes/adminfunctions_template.php on line 2134
Updating Version Number to 3.5.0 Beta 1... done

i completed the upgrade and it seems every thing is ok

what was this error and will it effect any thing later ?

[Gomjaba]

You should use the troubleshooting thread for that

[ShawnV]

I didn’t want to post this as a bug because it seems so trivial, however after adding the rel="nofollow" patch to the navbar, the template still remains in the CP as an “out of date custom template” was there something more, is this a bug, does every single link need the addition or how do I rectify.

Anyone else having this problem?

[ComputerVitals]

I installed vBAdvanced, and edited my templates a bit.

How do I save those so they wont get lost when I do the full upgrade?

[ComputerVitals]

Uploaded the upgrade and ran the script. Works great and painless.

Took less then 5 minutes.

[Onimua]

Wow... I like the template comparison thing offered right away when you enter the AdminCP right after you finish upgrading. Nice work with that one. :)

[Gian-Pa]

thx

[Mijae]

I love 3.5.

To upgrade all I had to do was close the board, upload new files, run upgrade script, open back the board. I had to rehack 2 files to get the CMPS and the gallery to work again, but it took no time whatsoever. Plugins seems to be working fine still :)

Nice job.

[ITro]

Hello,
I have a problem after upgrade my forum to 3.5.1.
I can't remove the note "last edited by..." as I can do it in 3.5.0:
In Admin panel/Usergroups/Usergroup Manager/Administrator/Show edited by note on edited messages? swich to NO!
How can I solve this problem?

[Self]

My cookies are no longer working. Anyone else having this problem? Everything else seems to work fine.

[Onimua]

Everything works fine here (or I haven't caught it, but for the past two days everything appears normal). :)

[sensimilla]

great to hear about skype integration, I did the hack on my site but its not that advanced..

thanks for it! waiting for 3.5.2 release.. updates are so smooth now..

[attila1992m]

how do i set it up?

[tickedon]

The patch are for guys where can't have access to the Member's Area and have an Owned Licence (like me) :)

...and for people like me who don't have time to do a full upgrade yet want their board protected.

[Ratje1972]

I have a problem on both on my forums. When i upgraded, the reputationpower doesnt work anymore. When i push the button to give reputation normaly i get a popupwindow to give some ++ or -- points.
When i now push the button, there is no popupwindow, but the page go back on top.

Anyone know the solution? thanks

[TCM]

...and for people like me who don't have time to do a full upgrade yet want their board protected.Time? How long does a full upgrade take you?

[FROGGYJ]

Well I have a couple questions, which I may know the answers already, but figured I would ask anyways.

1. If the upgrade only alters php files, then I am to assume any plugins or extensions will remain active from 3.5.0 Gold....however any code modification mods will be required once again.

2. If I created any custom templates, I will have to re-create them?

since this got lost in the shuffle...bump. Basically can someone just explain what someone who has some mods installed will be required to do once they upgrade.

[Steve Machol]

1. Yes, plugins remain intact.

2. Upgrading will not overwrite custom templates. Nonetheless you should seriously consider reverting any updated templates to get the full advantage of all bug fixes and improvements.

[Michelle]

No matter what we do to help work out the issue, this is all you post. There is now an option to disable AJAX -- prevents the issue you have. Iconv is now used automatically if you have it to do character set conversions -- fixes the issue you have provided you have it installed. (If it's not compiled into your PHP, we can't do much else.)

If it's about the %u thing, any sort of searching will tie it to mod_security and it's trivial to show a demo of the issue for hosts. I've already shown this several times. We can't do anything about host misconfigurations.

Just upgraded and the bug is fixed (I think). Thanks and sorry about my previous comment, I hadn't realised the fact about iconv (I learned what that php function was afterwards :p). Thanks again. :)

Happily upgraded from 3.0.9 to 3.5.1, went smoothly, if it did take a while. Even managed to get our external scripts tied into the new code API without much hassle. Yay :)

[q8_star]

The update was nicely done ,but ,when I logged in and while modifying the old templates I got the "CGI Error" and says:
"The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers."
I had this problem 2-3 minutes or so ,then worked fine .but this this problem keeps popping up every now and then .

My regards ,,

[adb22791]

Just updated, everything went smooth as glass! Well done vb team :)

[Steve Moore]

I've gotta give Kudos to the vBulletin team as 3.5.1 runs perfect on my server, the earlier releases would not run right. Its all good tho and the plugin system is great plus I like be able to create new hacks using the plugin system.

Cheers

Hacked code? I bought vB from here. What are you talking about?

This is from a hack you've installed. We do not have a portal.

Besides this is NOT a support thread. :)

[feldon23]

Support for vBAdvanced CPMS Portal is handled at www.vbadvanced.com.
Don't get me started about where vBAdvanced Gallery is supported.

3.5.1 all good to go

but one thing, can someone help me here

What is the reason for changing the reputation window to a new page?
I believe this question bears repeating because I have not seen an answer anywhere else and, as far as I can tell, it's not off-topic.

Why was the reputation popup window changed to a regular page?

If I want the old mode back, should I start slogging through the code to implement my own little hack?

[sensimilla]

Any chance to get 3.5.2 before Xmass ? :D

[feldon23]

What do you want in 3.5.2?

[sensimilla]

What do you want in 3.5.2?

I would prefer vbdevelopers to answer but if you ask im looking for that skype integration.

[feldon23]

You asked for 3.5.2. Point releases are bugfixes, not feature releases. So what were you expecting in 3.5.2?

[sensimilla]

this topic is about 3.5.1 but what the hell I will answer :)

Skype Integration

Today also sees the integration into vBulletin of the popular communication program Skype (http://www.skype.com/). You can now enter your Skype name into your user profile and contact other users using Skype. Skype integration will be included in the next vBulletin release, which will be 3.5.2.

[Symen_4ab]

Just my little post in there to say :
Thanks a lot for this new release !
I just updated from 3.0.something, as my board was heavily hacked, and besides the work for the update (did I say it was heavily hacked ? :) ), it's now running perfectly, and my hacks are quietly installed as products.

Great work !
