vBulletin 2.0.1 Released - discuss

[John]

Well, chit chat away...

Don't forget that we do have dedicated forums for most vBulletin 2.0 issues, so please check in there for decent answers to specific questions.

(upgrade instructions - here (http://161.58.84.213/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19300) )

[eva2000]

great :D

[Toliman]

where's the announcement with all the changes and such? (heads to the announcements forum and sees nothing)

[Toliman]

ok, there it is now :) seems that John posted this first, then the announcemnt.

[John]

I can only do a set number of things at once :)

John

[klisis]

It was smooth upgrade.

[mrlister]

upgrade went by smooth here also

[Chris Schreiber]

Count me in with the smooth upgrade crowd :)

[jucs]

Providing a list of files to upload? This would save me time as then I don't have to upload a ton of files that have not changed. I am upgrading from 2.0.

Also, did I miss the directions for the upgrade within the zip file? Or, is the only place to get this info is in this forum?

Thanks!

PS: How do you tell if a backup is "complete" and good?

[Jake Bunce]

ahahhaha! another update! I love updates because i get to close my forums and put clever messages to my users in the "why is the forum closed" thingy. :D

...i get bored.

Right now the only place to get directions is in the announcements forum.

[CoolaShacka]

Thanx for the update.

[jucs]

If only 50% of the files changed (or even less) and even none of the .gif's then which ones should I upload? Or, do I just upload all files with .php extension? Thanks once more.

[Blue2000]

Upgrade to 2.0.1 completed successfully!
Please delete the following files if you uploaded them: install.php, upgrade1.php, upgrade2.php, upgrade3.php, upgrade4.php, upgrade5.php, upgrade6.php, upgrade7.php, upgrade8.php, upgrade9.php

what about 10 hehe :D

You do not need to upload any of the image files.

[Darin]

First bug found: When you click Edit Profile in the User CP and edit your information, then click Submit, it goes to the MySQL screen. It looks like it's something major but it's not. It actually submits the information, but it displays the MySQL screen rather than the PHP file. Please put out a fix.

[tubedogg]

As John said, please post in the correct forum. And double-posting is not appreciated.

[Darin]

Sorry guys, I went to this thread right away when I saw the error. Wasn't thinking at all, panicked a bit. Again, I apologize! :)

[max]

Does this upgrade have Stars included and other little things that were said could be included? (Possible encrypted passwords)

[tubedogg]

Don't confuse 2.0.1 with 2.1 - they are two different things. :)

2.0.1 is a maintenance/bug-fix release, whereas 2.1 will contain new features and be a more significant release.

[max]

Ooops, didn't notice the tiny little 0 there.

I knew it was too good to be true!
:D :D :D

[DaBuzz]

From 2.0 betas and release candidates:
Information is available here to upgrade to 2.0.0:
http://161.58.84.213/forum/showthre...&threadid=17464
Then follow the instructions below for upgrading to 2.0.1 Do I need the released version of 2.0.0 to upgrade before I apply the 2.0.1 upgrade or can I go straight from 2.0.0 beta 5 to 2.0.1 without uploading the files from the original 2.0.0 public release just by running upgrade5.php and up in sequence?

I ask this because I don't have the .zip for 2.0.0, all I have is 2.0.0 beta 5 and now 2.0.1 ... if I need to upgrade to 2.0.0 with the original version, I'll need a copy of the .zip ... preferably in the members area under the "previous versions" section.

Thanks,

[tubedogg]

Upload all of the 2.0.1 files and run upgrade5 through upgrade10.

[GameCrash]

Isn't someone here who can really tell me which _files_ have changed? Er have hacked our vB so we don't want to upload _all_ files...

[ZombieWeb]

I just ran the upgrade but my board still says "Version 2.0.0" but my admin center says "Version 2.0.1"

Reason why this might be happening?

[rebby]

Reason why this might be happening? check your footer template and make sure that you don't need to revert it back to the default.

Ah, that's it!

I forgot that i edited it, thanks :)

[kicks]

GameCrash:
You can always try a tool like Compare IT (http://www.grigsoft.com/wincmp.htm)

[tubedogg]

Try BeyondCompare - you can configure it to display only those files which have changed and you can view the two versions side by side and see exactly what changed and where. I love it. :D

good werk

Thanx;)

[NickyNet]

hi all,

should i upgrade ? :(
running now 2.0.0


@VB developers,

well i think you should make the german version too, like UBB (but i will never change the VB for any other forum SW)... ;)

because, is amazing work everytime to search for the english words in the php files and translate it into german...

and then search for the changed templates.... :mad:

idea ?

p.s.: you will say, i should use compare software, but that's not the point..

[rebby]

Originally posted by NickyNet

my suggestion would be automated scripting for the changes you HAVE to make every time.. that would take care of things that you change time after time after time... you get the point... pic up a book an sed, awk, &/or perl... it will help you quite a bit...

[Nicholas Brown]

Dam, Ive been sooo busy I didnt even realise this had been released :(

/me rushes off to upgrade forums

[jucs]

Originally posted by rebby

WHY? I thought in the instructions it would NOT touch any templates if you changed them. What gives here??? Why should you have to revert back and LOSE your edits???

[Black Tiger]

I also think changed files should be mentioned.

We paid for the registration and you make the bulletin board, you people know which files changes are made to, so why do we have to sort that out, if you already know because you make them?:)

If people have several nice hacks there is for us no way to tell which hacks we have to do again because so much files could be changed that one would think every file in the new release or maintainence release has changed.

But never mind that, it would be a nice service to just state in an info file or with the announcement which files are changed.

By the way, upgrading itself went smoothly here too.:)

[EXCHANGE]

Upgrade worked fine as always, thx guys :D

[tubedogg]

The upgrade does not touch any of your custom templates, which is why you would have to revert a template if it's changed. The reason Rebby suggested reverting your footer template is that if you have hardcoded the 2.0.0 number into it, it wouldn't change. If you don't have $templateversion in your footer template, it won't show the new version number.

[Jake Bunce]

just upgraded, no problems encountered. everything went smooth.

[Oystein]

Like others have asked: what files are changed?

I translate the board, mainly templates, but also in a few of the files, and knowing _what_ files that are changed could save me for several hours of searching and fixing...

Please?
Paying for this nice software should give us the right to ask for it, shouldn't it?

[s.molinari]

Hello vB Team,

I can confirm some of the comments mentioned above about new releases and getting the changes into translated versions.

It would be a great help if you could list the changed/bug fixed php files also. Much like you do for the changed templates. Then us translators can go straight for the changes and not have to "compare" everything till we find differences.

Hope you can accomodate and thanx if you do.

Best regards,

Scott

P.S. And as always, keep up the good work.

I agree. For Newbies it will be very interesting, but with Beyond Compare i was able to update my german version in less than 15 minutes. ;)

[Oystein]

I'm not fixing bugs, but some files have words that cannot be replaced in templates, such as notword - used in the Forum Rules...

[GameCrash]

That's an option in the CP... don't know why ;)

[Hooper]

Went to upgrade from 2.0.0 to .01. For some strange reason when I run the upgrade10.php it will allow me to get to the login as usual, but says this when I try to loggin.

"You are either not a valid administrator or have not logged in."
It refreshes and leaves me sitting at the loggin. Acts like it doesn't know who I am. ;)

I went ahead and reupped the files twice. Once in binary, then in text for the .php. (not that it should make any difference)

Any Ideas. First time I've had any probs with the upgrade since beta 5.

[Mike Sullivan]

Check out the bugs forum.

[Hooper]

I'll do that....... *runs so he can hopefully get into his CP before he gets another grey hair*

Thank You Ed.

[Ninboy]

*bump* Can you (For the VB 2.0.2) put in the avatars page a links that say "ALL AVATARS" Thas swoh a page with all avatars? Like V 1

[Omero]

Just upgraded, everything is smooth, good work, cant wait for 2.1?

Any ETA for 2.1 btw? ;)

words going aroudn that vbulletin is available via ftps etc for free !!

:confused:

Thanks

vB is not freeware nor shareware. That means, if somebody has vB, then it was either bought, leased or pirated. The latter is of course what you've mentioned. There is no direct way to nail down a stolen copy of vB. The only thing you may try to do is notify the guys at Jelsoft about the possible piracy. Send an email (john@vbulletin.com) with the URL of the suspect site. They will do the rest.

Scott

[Theiggsta]

I think I found a bug in the announcements area...

when I go to edit a global announcement...it doesnt show the original vB code at all and it kept inserting <br />


and also the smileys were replaced with an <img> tag instead of the original smily face text...

is this normal?

[s.molinari]

Yes, announcements are treated a bit differently as to normal posts. They are "coded" or HTMLed if you like, after you submit it. So the data in the db is HTML. Posts are HMTLed after being read from the data base. So post data in the db is basically what you typed. That's how I understand it. Hope I explained ok too. :)

I have carfully looked out for changes and have copied and replaced them. The german words would not be affected.

And there are not so much changes.

[ForzaGrifo]

I'm currently using 2.0.0 and I'm wondering if it's worth the time to upgrade to 2.0.1. I've done some hacking on my current version including some changes to the index.php. I've also changed the level2 postbits, and other templates.

Will the update overwrite these files. Which files does the update actually change?

Thanks in advance.

The update will not overwrite anything and it is recommended to upgrade. I am personally still running 2.0.0, but that's because the upgrade is rather minor and fixes some more rare security holes that I doubt will effect me. Plus, I am extremely busy and don't want to upgrade unless I really need to.

[Mike Sullivan]

I'd at least wait for 2.0.2, which I'd like to put out soon...

[s.molinari]

ooh...ooh...ooh. How soon?

[Kier]

pretty much as soon as we can get hold of John.

Not much. The next big upgrade will be from 2.0 to 2.1. 2.01 is just a minor bug fix release. 2.02 will be released soon, apparently.

[Reef Board]
