This thread is for discussing the release of vBulletin 3.5.2.

Please use this thread to talk about things you like or installation experiences etc., but please do not use this thread to post troubleshooting queries or bug reports. These threads tend to grow very large and bug reports etc. tend to become lost and will not get attention from the support or development teams.

For troubleshooting and bug reporting, please use either the vBulletin 3.5 Bug Tracker (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs35.php?) for reporting and tracking bugs, or the vBulletin 3.5.0 forums (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=100) for general queries and troubleshooting.

It depends on the Plugins, but generally all Plugins/Products should continue to work just fine.
However, you might have to modify Templates again, if those out-of-date now.

Why wasn't this "alter table" put into the 3.5.2 upgrade? Users will still need to manually run this "alter table" if they want to use avatars stored on filesystem.

As with previous versions of vBulletin 3.5.x, vBulletin 3.5.2 requires a HARD REFRESH (Ctrl-R or Ctrl-F5) in all of your user's web browsers to get a fresh copy of the JavaScript files used by vB.

I noticed that Quick Edit was disabled until I did so.

I wish vB staff would use different javascript file naming for each version of the forum to prevent this. vbulletin351.js, vbulletin352.js, etc.

I second that. I have over 50,000 users and after a upgrade, it takes about a week until I stopping hearing that things are not working properly. I tell them to clear cache but most don't listen. Renaming the files when they are upgraded seems like a good idea.

There is no reason for that to have happened. 2 JS files changed from 3.5.1, and not having the changes for a little bit would simply prevent the bug fix from appearing. QE wasn't even changed...

I don't know, but I clicked on it once and it wiped out all of my customizations :eek:

John - yes I believe that the patch is the same as an upgrade. The entire 3.5.1 package was not changed. Just certain files. Those certain files are in the patch :)

The patch fixes security issues and that is it. Compare the files changed to the files in the patch -- you'd have to have the changes to all those files to be fully running 3.5.2.

As with the new upgrade comes new functionality. Hence in order for vBulletin to optimally retain this functionality, such as Skype intergration a number of templates will have to be reverted. This means removing all customizations and changing the template back to the stored default for that specific version.

I cant believe it - no wonder most people dont upgrade. May as well wait a month and I can upgrade to 3.5.5. Only if you refuse to use the built-in upgrade migration features of vBulletin.

Use Plug-ins and Products to make code (PHP) changes to your forum and extend Usergroups, etc. These are preserved between forum upgrades.

Keep Template edits under control. If you want to change a few words, use the Language Manager -> Phrase Editor to change wording rather than touching the Template that phrase appears in.

Keep notes in a text file on your PC of your changes to various templates. At least keep a bookmark to every Plugin, Product, and Hack you've installed so that when you upgrade, not only can you easily find the template changes but you'll be able to quickly check if changes had to be made to those Plugins, Products, or Hacks, to work with the new version of vBulletin.

Use the Template Compare and Template History features which are built into vBulletin 3.5+ to see what THEY have changed so you can reflect those changes in YOUR templates.

If you want a maintenance-free vBulletin that you can keep up-to-date with 0 effort, DO NOT EDIT templates or PHP files!

3.5.5 won't be out in one month from now. I recommend our customers to upgrade to 3.5.2.

Ah, my first update...


I purchased vbulletin for the first time at 3.5.1 so this is a first for me...

I happened to install a lot of plugins from vbulletin.org that has a lot of template changes so im very afraid of upgrading but i'll do it anyway..

out of curiosity.. was there any major edits made to forumhome, forumdisplay or navbar? a lot of my template edits exist inside those templates.

Also, is there some upgrade file I can download instead of the full thing from the members area? I cant find any upgrade button there, just the full install..

im such a noob :(

Can anyone help me out with regards to this upgrade procedure? :eek:

is there perhaps a file somewhere where we can see the exact changes to templates in this new upgrade?

I'd recommend checking out the vBulletin Documentation:
http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/upgrade

With regards to changes to forumdisplay, and forumhome, there are none so there isn't going to be any editing required there. And the navbar template only requires a certain phrase, (possibly repeated) to be replaced with another to help with the functionality of your forums. Check this (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1027246&postcount=3) post of the vBulletin 3.5.2 announcement thread for the exact information as to which templates you will be changing and what will be changed inside them too.

Why don't the upgrade script ask us to delete the install folder? Wouldn't that be the safest (even though it is customer number protected)?

BTW, this is my first upgrade, and it turned out just fine :)

Well, I'm curious, where exactly is the support forum (NOT the support contact form)? Is there a forum where one can go and throw a question out there without giving out server and FTP login information? I don't see the word "support" on the forums index.

I'm having the same problem, blank page on upgrade.php. ***I am NOT asking for support in this thread, since this is the incorrect forum***

Nice, but since reverting templates is necessary I wont update from 3.5.1 to 3.5.2 ....I had a lot of work with 3.5 -> 3.5.1 because of the filechanges. If I would need to change all the templates again - it would be a mess and time consuming. Hence : no no ....

But I have a question, I installed the 2 patches and my board still says I need to upgrade to 3.5.2 is this normal or when I installed the patches should that have changed?

Support ticket had already been submitted, I was simply asking if anybody else had had the same issue. But as a means of relevance it would be wiser to choose something more appropriate. I would personally recommend the vBulletin 3.5 Installation and Upgrades (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=106) forum for all questions regarding the upgrade.

Updating took less than 30 seconds, all plugins work, no need to edit any files.

Just the templates too a bit of work since we added a few additional profile fields (to be displayed in the post fields, like flags and so on).

No, but an automatic (or manual) update option for those who want it can be MORE friendly. Sure beats trying to update twice a month to keep tabs on the newest releases.

With the plugin system it shouldn't be much of a problem with 3.5.x owners in losing customizations. And that's just corrected by saving a style (which that can be automatic as well, just save it in a 777 directory).

Easier to upgrade, easier folks will do so, and easier to keep folks from going...."sigh, is this going to be a 2 repeater upgrade this month?".

Chris

Zachery
Tue 6th Dec '05, 9:44pm
Upgrade files, run upgrade.php, Its not too bad. (10~ min maybe). Its about as automatic as its going to get before we upload the files and run the upgrader by some sort of cron.

Took me an hour to install gallery2 yesterday, I do not look forward to updating that.

The problem is that end-users who need to upgrade for function/security issues may balk at even that task (try getting folks to update any program and keep them updated). What seems simple to some, isn't for others, who may be in the business as skinners and modders, who will have to deal with upset clients tired of so many revisions to avoid loss of function and getting hit by exploits.

Not everyone is a designer/modder/coder and to keep their forum up-to-date, especially if it's a choice between spending friday night changing their customizations, or spending it with their wife/girlfriend or other fun persuits.

These upgrades really need to be streamlined (automatic updates or manual updates and both by auto install method via ftp) so everyone is happy -- and they keep their forumware in tiptop condition (which helps on not getting more problem support tickets too!).

I don't know how much easier it can be.
I updated 2 boards. One has ~5 plugins and another has 3.
The only thing I needed to edit were by vBadvanced files.

Before plugins I'd have to edit several different pages.
And editing the templates after reverting was simple.
I keep notes of all template changes.

Now granted I still use the default vB skin, but upgrading could not be simpler. I am no coder.

Do remember Chris, that the updates are designed around people using clean unhacked forum board, which would make updating easy. There is no way the updates can be designed to work easy with everybodies hacked boards. As some will use just a few hacks while others have heavy modded boards.

I have a heavy modded board, and becuase of this I choose not to update at all anymore and just accept what I have (that's my choice). I don't blame Jelsoft because I understand that there updates are intended for clean unhacked boards. The fact that my board is heavy hacked making it more or less impossible to update now was my choice which I accept.

ChrisLM2001
Wed 7th Dec '05, 12:30am
This is 3.5.x, Gary. If there's any hacks that's not a plugin, then they can elect to manually update, but others can just plain upgrade automatically (this is suppose to be the beauty of having the plugins -- might as well exploit it's usefulness). lol

And styles can just be automatically saved to a 777 directory -- just pull it from the database like CSS files and save it in the same folder -- before updating.

Now for 3.0.9 series on down, yes upgrades have to be done by hand.

ADDED: and it'll also make use of the "call home" feature which folks tend to remove. This time it'll report if an update is ready to install <-- more folks would be interested in keeping that feature untouched -- and gives something no nulled board can offer!

How exactly does the Skype integration work? Skype is sort of like Google Talk, right? So members can chat in real time with one another over vB? Or does 3.5.2 only allow for Skype info?

In addition to the daily/weekly digest fix in includes/function_digest.php, the rerelease also appears to have an updated includes/functions_newpost.php related to the ignorelist.. possibly related to bug 1780?

diff from this morning's release of 3.5.2 to one just downloaded:

awesome!!

damn it, I just updated to 3.5.1 :(

me too!! like...the day before yesterday. :/ and JUST finished a ton of template edits again. arrrgh! figures. lol

And styles can just be automatically saved to a 777 directory -- just pull it from the database like CSS files and save it in the same folder -- before updating.


sounds good!

can you explain this in more detail for us n00bs? :(

Upgrading from 3.5.1 to 3.5.2 won't be a template-pain-in-the-beeper because the changes to templates are not as much as when going from 3.0 to 3.5.

How exactly does the Skype integration work? Skype is sort of like Google Talk, right? So members can chat in real time with one another over vB? Or does 3.5.2 only allow for Skype info?
Yes, Skype is a VOIP solution so you can voice chat over the internet with others. You can actually have a real phone number, or call someone in other side of the world at local costs instead of international costs. Just Skype to Skype is free. Google Talk also has a Call feature, which is also VOIP. Both Skype & Google Talk have IM. Google Talk is still in beta and Skype is released stable.

Wed 7th Dec '05, 5:17am
Upgrade went smooth, ran into very few template changes too. :)

Thanks guys.

ONE question though,

Is im_skype.gif the only new image?
What you could do is upload all the files, and skip the images/ directory.
Then upload the images/ directory, but don't overwrite; Instead, let it skip existing files. It will then not touch your existing files, and only upload the new files. That's what I usually do.

Don't forget when uploading your files : You get a new index.php so when you run portals such as vbadvanced and using those index.php (like me, both in same folder / root in domain) don't forget to save your old index.php

Yup - I upgraded one of my sites to vB3.5.1 a few days ago, and upgraded this morning to vB3.5.2 without problems (well...none relating to vB;))

Here's an interesting question for the vB Development / Product managers: Have you ever considered a phased/dated release schedule instead of an arbitrary/function related release schedule? Just curious that's all.

I work on several large projects and have good relationships with suppliers with whom I work with on a daily basis... they have often changed their release schedules from functional to dated. I fully appreciate there are pro's and con's for each and am just wondering if you have considered amending your policy.

Cheers guys...

mine is 3.5.1 ... If you have NOT modified any Templates and have NOT modified any PHP files, then you should do the full upgrade which means uploading every file from the ZIP to your website.

If you have modified files and templates and do not have time to do a full upgrade but want to be secure, download the Patch and follow the instructions.


If you have modified any Templates listed in the 3.5.2 announcement and want to do a proper upgrade, you must look at the list of changes and see if "Requires Revert" is indicated and use the build in Template Compare and Template History features to synch your changes with the upgrades. If you don't, then your forum may have some limited functionality.

Every template you customize increases slightly the amount of time it takes to do each forum upgrade. Going "hog wild" is not recommended. ;)

feldon23
Thu 8th Dec '05, 4:36pm
Is there going to be v3.5.3 or what? Minor point releases (3.5.1, 3.5.2, etc.) of vBulletin almost invariably come out when a security vulnerability has been found and needs to be fixed. The fact that each point release also contains other non-critical bug fixes and minor features/corrections is purely coincidential.

If you do not have time to stay up-to-date, use the security patches.
If you are hoping each little point release will come packed with new features, you'll always be disappointed.


I believe the development plan is always to shoot for another major point release (3.6, 4.0) and work on it until done, test the heck out of it, and then release it. There is no master plan for a 3.5.3 with "a few new features".

1. Import your language pack (3.5.0?)
2. Upgrade the forum to vBulletin 3.5.2.
3. Export the upgraded language pack.
4. Translate the 5-10 new phrases in 3.5.2.
5. You now have a 3.5.2-compatible language pack.

:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: 1. Relax.
An older language pack will work just fine with a newer vBulletin. The only thing that will be missing is any phrases that have been corrected or added since.

2. Import your language pack (XML file) into vBulletin 3.x.

3. Upgrade the forum to vBulletin 3.5.2.
It will populate your language with the new phrases in 3.5.2.

4. Export the upgraded language pack (XML file).

5. Translate the new phrases.
Search the file for 3.5.1, 3.5.2, etc.

6. You're done! You now have a 3.5.2-compatible language pack.

OK -- I'm going to 3.5.2 from 3.0.7 and was wondering about what the "see the 3.0.11 announcement" meant. I didn't see anything regarding installation issues and wonder whether you mean we should see this due to the patching of a weakness that could potentially be exploited. Good to know, but perhaps best worded as an "FYI" when in an area for installation. :D

I can appreciate highlighting 3.11. I had a script recently exploited where some Chinese company was trying to manipulate stocks by using a "tell a friend" php file that had a $subject variable for mailing and inserting hundreds of email address and content about major press releases for a penny stock. Beware of this one guys. It's now rampant.

However, I want to set two languages. When I set it on English (US) I get the version I have partly translated. How to get a non translated English version ?
I tried to delete the English with Admin CP, and redownload a new, but I still see the English version I already partly translated.

Well, if vBAdvanced.com weren't down, I could point you to the instructions you must perform every time you upgrade vBulletin to keep vBAdvanced working.

I was a bit worried about upgrading before I started as I had never done it before, but it went really smoothly. I just had to redo a couple of template edits and the forum is back up and working better than ever now :).

Zachery is a he.

If someone needs support and requires to include private ftp details, etc. Post a support ticket instead of a support thread.

This thread is a discussion for the release, and support questions are not to be posted in this thread.

Just want to say that I feel the frustration expressed by many people about the frequency of upgrades. I am not complaining about the upgrades - just making an observation. I'm sure the team does not release upgrades gratuitously and I understand that this type of script must stay on top of security issues.

At the same time it must be acknowledged that vB does require a lot of work to keep current. I always recommend vB when clients ask "which forum software?" but I tell them they need to set aside every second Saturday for performing upgrades.

I'm exaggerating but sometimes it really does feel like that :(

Well, I upgraded to vBulletin because it has all the features I need without hacking the code, and upgrades are easy to perform in a forum without hacks you don´t really need.

If you want a maintenance-free vBulletin that you can keep up-to-date with 0 effort, DO NOT EDIT templates or PHP files!

I wonder if it's ever going to be possible to allow updates on customized templates if the exact code string is found. I'm sure there would be problems with shorter strings that appear more than once within a template, but I think it might be an option worth exploring.

I have too many custom mods... I'm just going to patch 3.5.1 for now.

I noticed you added functions_digest.php and functions_newpost.php but you did not add it to 351_patch.zip

Are those not that important as patching class_dm_user.php and class_upload.php, or was that just an oversight?

Thanks

Please use this thread to talk about things you like or installation experiences etc.,

This is probably a really novice question but why is it when I goto download the 3.5.2 upgrade that it doesn't let me specify a folder. Once I hit download it just downloads to a temporary folder (where ever that is) and unless I extract it and play with it right then and there it dissapears (from me anyway).

Being able to specify a folder for it to be download into would make it easier to find and move around.

I have a tech guy that handles all my tech stuff, but he doesn't have access to the VB download section. Only I do. So I have to download it, then extract it, then upload the extracted version to our FTP (It takes ages). If I could simply have the Zipped file download to where I want it would speed things up. I could just upload a zipped file to the server instead of an extracted one.

Thanks Reg

thx

If you run vBulletin unlicensed, please stop doing so. You can buy your license here: http://www.vBulletin.com/order/ (Note: Piracy IS a crime)

If you do run vBulletin with a license, you can download it from the members area here:

http://members.vbulletin.com/


The same goes for you :)

Because those aren't part of the patch. The patch does not make your 3.5.1 forum a 3.5.2 forum. It fixes 1 security flaw.

This behavior is up to your web browser, not the vbulletin web server. Only you can change this.

Mike where would these patches be? seems I cant find them No, this is wrong.

The patch fixes security issues and that is it. Compare the files changed to the files in the patch -- you'd have to have the changes to all those files to be fully running 3.5.2.

3.5.2 safe to move to?

I know you don't provide support for 3.5.2, but I was wondering if there's anything in 3.5.2 that is a problem to use, or that will make it hard to patch and update later? I'm looking to have to upgrade custom templates as LITTLE as possible, due to the complexity....

Lol.... not quite sure how to answer that sort of a question :confused: ...


I want to know, if I upgrade to 3.5.2, am I going to have to change 100 more template hacks, etc. before I have a secure, stable version?

Because otherwise I would just download 3.0.3, but I read that it has major template upgrading work to get to 3.5.2, so I'd rather get it over with now, if I can.

You'll find the download link in the members' area. You can only access the members' area after you have purchased vBulletin here: http://www.vbulletin.com/order/

Congratulations on choosing the #1 forum software!

You started talking about 3.5.2 being "unsupported" which I did not understand.

I want to know, if I upgrade to 3.5.2, am I going to have to change 100 more template hacks, etc. before I have a secure, stable version?
None of your hacks are compatible with vBulletin 3.5. vB3.5 uses Plug-ins instead of Hacks.

Because otherwise I would just download 3.0.3, but I read that it has major template upgrading work to get to 3.5.2, so I'd rather get it over with now, if I can.You're on 3.0.2? There are dozens of security vulnerabilities in your forum!!!

To be secure, you must at LEAST install the patches for
vB3.0.3, vB3.0.4, vB3.0.5, vB3.0.6, vB3.0.7, vB3.0.8, vB3.0.9, vB3.0.10, vB3.0.11. You won't have a 3.0.11 forum, it will still be a 3.0.2 forum, but it will have all the security fixes of the mentioned versions.

A moderator of a forum i help manage asked this question:

I have noticed that the redirects no longer time out, they used to only last for 24 hours, but now they seem to stick around forever, is there anything we can do about this?

I was wondering, was this removed from this new release?
