vBulletin 3.6.1 Release Discussion

[Kier]

This thread is for discussing the release of vBulletin 3.6.1

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 3.6 Bug Tracker (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs36.php?) for reporting and tracking bugs, or the vBulletin 3.6.x forums (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=115) for general queries and troubleshooting.

[Freezerator]

Is there an screenshot of the new news option? I am curious how it looks? :)

[Antivirus]

Woot! new update, going to put this on my test board then eventually move over to live forums.

[Eagle Creek]

A lot of new stuff! Thanks!

[kevinmanphp]

What happened to thread move redirect having an expiration time added of 'X hours'??? I thought this was going to be added in 3.6.1.

[Kier]

You'll see it soon enough :)

[Miko]

Thank you for the update.

[Mike Sullivan]

It's there.

[---MAD---]

nice stuff, thanks :).

[wurkanimal]

Thank you for another great update!

[simsim]

Hmm.. the new ACP News System tells more than simply a new feature! We'll wait. :p

Thanks for the update, btw.

[Icy]

w00t.. Gonna upgrade tonight :D..

[Kier]

Load up your 3.6.1 admin control panel home page and you'll see :)

[DJ PİSAGOR]

Thanks for the new version. I'm upgrading...

[brvheart]

thanks guys....going to update now :)

[vitnuce]

Gonna upgrade tonight :)

Thanks!

[Lenni]

Lots of template changes. Need to see if this is not too much to work on. :D Thanks for the neat update though.

One question, can I manually edit the templates instead of reverting them?

[feldon23]

One question, can I manually edit the templates instead of reverting them?
You might wish to check out my vB Template Browser (http://www.feldoncentral.com/forumpics/vb3templatebrowser/) script. You upload the original style XML file for 2 or more different versions of vBulletin and then you can say "I want to see the default 3.6.1 and 3.6.0 versions of the postbit_legacy template" and it will show them side-by-side. You can use this to figure out what changed between the two versions and manually make the same change yourself.

I think the Template History feature in vB is nice, but there's no way to find out what Jelsoft changed between 3.6.0 and 3.6.1 of a template, only to find out what's different between your customized 3.6.0 template and their untouched 3.6.1 template, which is confusing IMO.

P.S. If anyone knows how to do recursive comparison of two text boxes and display the results in color the same way that vB does with their Template Comparison feature, please send me a PM because I'd love to implement this feature. There's already a place reserved at the bottom of the script to add this code.

[<EFSANE>]

Thank you for the update.

[vietkieu_cz]

oh I like uprading vBb so much :)
thank you

[Lenni]

Thanks! I will check that script out. :)

[Dabbler]

Hey, I just got 3.6.0 running. :eek:

Good job guys! :D

[dbembibre]

Exist any patched file or only is a mantenaince release ?

[Colin F]

This isn't a security release, it's mainly maintenance.

[Darkblade]

A bunch of new stuff. Thanks a lot! :)

[Andy]

[dbembibre]

This isn't a security release, it's mainly maintenance.

Thanks a lot sir :)

[Ascor]

Ok no ned to absolute upgrade then ?

[feldon23]

There are no security updates in 3.6.1. Unless there is a bug that is affecting your forum that you need to fix, you can stay at 3.6.0 for a while longer.

[Ascor]

ah it's cool, thank you feldon23 :)

[TCattitude]

Excelents improvements to the infractions system and the cookies thing ;)

[GearTripper]

i'm sure you guys have some idea when updates are going to be released. part of me hates this cause i just did a fresh install of 3.6 like a day ago and now i read this!?!? it's a love/hate relationship to say the least.

[Kier]

There are no security updates in 3.6.1. Unless there is a bug that is affecting your forum that you need to fix, you can stay at 3.6.0 for a while longer.
Personally I would recommend that all customers upgrade to 3.6.1, as some of the bugs in 3.6.0 may be affecting your board and your visitors without you even knowing about it.

[dilbert]

Thanks.
I have a lot of customizations to my site. I've been working on it for a couple of weeks and almost finished.

I read this statement by Kier:
Note:

You need to only look through this post for templates you have customized. You do not need to take any action to ensure that your uncustomized templates are the latest versions.

If you find a template you have customized in this list, you will likely want to include the changes made here. However, this is not always required. Under each change listed here, you will see "requires revert?" This refers to whether the changes are mandatory (yes). If the changes are mandatory, things will break if you do not incorporate the changes made. It is strongly recommended that you revert and recustomize any templates that say they require a revert.

Additionally, you may wish to use the "Find Updated Template" feature in the control panel to find templates that have been changed since your last edit to them.

How can I simply make the template updates without actually reinstalling everything? For instance, when phpbb updates, they tell you what line of what page needs to be updated. That made updating a customized board easy. Is there something similar available here?

[Onimua]

If you use the template compare system, then yes. It highlights which parts of a template had changed; you can also view which templates have changed from the default and your own.

The announcement lists just general changes.

[Serkan Yılmaz]

thank you .

[Tantawi]

Excellent! (Y)

[Freddie Bingham]

Was the ability to select all been added to:

Admin CP > Moderation > Deleted Posts
Yes.

[Kanustep]

I have a question, does the template changes (the ones with code here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1210752#post1210752) need to be done by us manually? Or simple reverting it will work?

[Colin F]

Reverting will work fine.

[Kanustep]

Thank you Colin.

[Zonex]

From the announcment thread...

[good2laugh]

A bunch of new stuff. Thanks a lot! :)

Cool! Shame a gallery ain't in there though ;)

Thanks..

[GearTripper]

i forget, does upgrading rather then a fresh-install also upgrade the displayed version number?

[Onimua]

i forget, does upgrading rather then a fresh-install also upgrade the displayed version number?
Yes.

[GearTripper]

thnx for the quick reply. :D

[cyberphr]

Good to see you guys working on it,
but I'll wait to upgrade until you move up to 3.7 :p

[Fire_Master]

thanks for new version ım upgrade:)

[PitchouneN64ngc]

It's a good release, more than 100 bugs resolved ^^

Thank you, great job ;)

[Fire_Master]

but I wait vbulletin 3.7 :D

[SaN-DeeP]

a new release after every major release :( finished upgrading 3 of my forums
shall again finish off the template changes.

thanks.

[Bulent Tekcan]

Our forum upgrade without any problem.Also news and new Infraction features is good.I'm still search new function :)

Thanks for all vBulletin team

[greenhybrid]

I'm not exactly sure what Revert Required means. If I update the templates as specified in this thread, is that enough?

[Steve Machol]

See this explanation of what 'Requires Revert' means:

[MButler]

In the " vBulletin 3.6.1 Released" thread, kier says "These are the template changes since 3.6.0 ONLY."

I am upgrading from 3.6 and am confused, do I need to do those template edits? I presume so?

[MRGTB]

Thats me being kept busy, nice work

[tsuehpsyde]

Just upgraded to 3.6.1, and I like the added news posts in the AdminCP area. Good stuff. Thanks for the update as always. :)

[n'is]

thanks

[ArabSQuad]

AwezZzome ! :D

[towersl]

thanks guys, upgrading tomorrow morning :)

[brvheart]

ok, so I did the update, script ran great...good job guys :)


Question - on the main AdminCP page, it said old templates....I clicked it and reverted all templates that it showed for all the styles that I have....does that make the update complete now?

Sry, this is the first full update that I did....I do releaize that all hacks will have to be done again.....but the upgrade script plus the template reverts makes it just like installing a VB 3.6.1 new right?

[zappsan]

wow, that was fast.
I didn't really expect a new version that soon.
The search thread thing is cool, I'm not sure when I'll upgrade though.

Thanks for the new version though^^

[feldon23]

In the " vBulletin 3.6.1 Released" thread, kier says "These are the template changes since 3.6.0 ONLY."

I am upgrading from 3.6 and am confused, do I need to do those template edits? I presume so?
If you modified a template at 3.6.0, that template is "frozen in time" at 3.6.0.

If there was some kind of bug fix in that template in 3.6.1, you will still experience the bug because your 3.6.0 version of that template is overriding the one from 3.6.1.

You have three choices:

1) Revert the template. Any changes you've made will be lost, but then the template will be up-to-date with 3.6.1.

2) Use the Template Compare feature or some other tool to figure out what change was made by Jelsoft from 3.6.0 -> 3.6.1 in that template and make the same change.

3) Do nothing and you may have unexpected, buggy results with that template.

[feldon23]

Question - on the main AdminCP page, it said old templates....I clicked it and reverted all templates that it showed for all the styles that I have....does that make the update complete now?
Yep. When you upgrade, any templates you've customized are still "frozen in time" at the 3.6 state, but everything else should be 3.6.1.

[brvheart]

thank you :) now since I reverted every template it showed.....now I have to spend 3 week to add in everything....but I think it was worth it :)

[Cromulent]

thank you :) now since I reverted every template it showed.....now I have to spend 3 week to add in everything....but I think it was worth it :)

You could have used the template compare feature to find the differences and update them that way. At least then you would not have to re-add all your template changes.

[MotoUp]

Upgraded smoothly...thanks guys. :)

[greenhybrid]

My CP is saying that MEMBERINFO has been updated, but it isn't listed here. What change would I need to make?

[Icy]

w00t.. Upgraded without having any probs :D..

[mikegray]

Ironically, my first two boards using vb went live this morning... just upgraded both, and it was a very quick and painless process. :)

[Tweaky]

You might wish to check out my vB Template Browser (http://www.feldoncentral.com/forumpics/vb3templatebrowser/) script. You upload the original style XML file for 2 or more different versions of vBulletin and then you can say "I want to see the default 3.6.1 and 3.6.0 versions of the postbit_legacy template" and it will show them side-by-side. You can use this to figure out what changed between the two versions and manually make the same change yourself.Your site says:
NOTE: This script is only compatible with vBulletin 3.0 and 3.5 styles.

[Captain_Kirk76]

Awesome! I will be upgrading tonight :D

[sabillondesigns]

i really dont understand,

it says taht if you have Customize a template you will need to revert, and that erases the customize template you had.

so in order words after upgrade to 3.6.1 you will have to go back and customize all over again?

[LSIntegra94]

so in order words after upgrade to 3.6.1 you will have to go back and customize all over again?


Yes, that is correct.

Would really like to see a Spell Checker added to vB.

[feldon23]

Yes, that is correct.

Would really like to see a Spell Checker added to vB.IESpell is a free spellcheck for IE6.
Google Toolbar 2 has spellcheck.
I am not sure about spellcheck for Firefox that works with vB, I think it is being held back by a bug in Firefox.

It is a huge waste of server RAM and bidirectional communication to try to do spellcheck thru wysiwyg editor when spellcheck can be added to the browser.

[Freddie Bingham]

The google toolbar spellcheck works in WYSIWYG if you click the http://images.vbulletin.com/images_vb3/editor/switchmode.gif button first to take it out of WYSIWYG.

[dknelson99]

I'm using Firefox and Spellbound and it works GREAT. I would much rather use it than to have the overhead that a built in spell check would add to the server. Plus...Spellbound works on all the sites that I visit. I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.6

[chewbacca]

Phew, that's a lot of templates to modify!

I think the best feature that was added is the captcha for guest searches. Thanks, guys. :)

Oh yeah, I'm also glad the dropdown menu links were "fixed" this time.

[Wannakno]

k so if we have skins or hacks it will destroy all the skins, hacks?
cuz right now I have 3.6.0...... I wanna update to 3.6.1 (update freak)
Is it safe? and will I lose the hacks i have?...
or is it really not that big of an upgrade to worry about?

[Gaia]

Nice, will be upgrading later tonight!!

[Chroder]

Excellent, will be upgrading this weekend I think.

The feature I was waiting for most was the ability to ban through infractions. Now the infraction system is totally complete!

Well done guys :D

[HDT]

Oh man..just finished modification,integrated script,add hack,change TOTAL skins within 28 hours on VB 3.6.0
And today 3.6.1 has come out...,i think I will wait and update on VB 4.0.
Thats realy hurt to do update again with 3.6.1
Anyway thanks for update.

well thats why I asked what I asked...

[HDT]

well thats why I asked what I asked...
For now I only do MINOR fix on announcement_edit and CALENDAR.
I leave all other updates.

[GearTripper]

post upgrade, if asked if you would like to revert and you select NO, is something supposed to happen like the window close maybe? cause nothing does for me. the NO button doesn't do jack.

[Quillz]

Nice to see Jelsoft working hard to keep vB as secure as possible.

[dknelson99]

Just upgraded and it went GREAT. I have about 5 templates to revert/modify but no big deal. The hooks system is GREAT.

Thanks

[Elyk]

Just upgraded and it went GREAT. I have about 5 templates to revert/modify but no big deal. The hooks system is GREAT.

Thanks

Same here, nice fast upgrade, 5 templates for vB and 4 for a style to revert and check.

[Onimua]

Nice to see Jelsoft working hard to keep vB as secure as possible.
Well, in this case, bug-free as possible since it wasn't a security release. :p

[WoodiE]

Wow this has got to be the easiest upgrade yet. I think it took longer to type in the upgrade URL then it did for the actual upgrade!

Well done guys!

[derekivey]

Hmm, wheres this new news feature at? I upgraded to 3.6.1 and don't see it. Is there just no news at all or something? If so, how did others see it? Attached is a screenshot of what my admincp looks like.

Derek

[eugeneo]

When I upgrade 3.6.1, I have a feeling I would have to do it manually (the db is BIG), anyone want to give any insight on how to do this.

[SaN-DeeP]

Are there any alterations made to post table or thread table in this new release ? After checking I have not find any, but still confirming.

regards,

[Ronak]

lol that was very fast releasing 3.6.1 :eek:

[Ohiosweetheart]

They're not on the release thread, so I would assume not

You should've seen it as soon as you first loaded the ACP after the upgrade; I suggest askin in the appropriate forums or submitting a support ticket. ;)

[UnderEstimated]

Upgrade done thank you :)

[Sephiroth]

Awecome job, vB team! The upgrade went without a hitch! :)

[derekivey]

You should've seen it as soon as you first loaded the ACP after the upgrade; I suggest askin in the appropriate forums or submitting a support ticket. ;)
Submitted a ticket, I'll see if they can figure it out lol.

[bboy]

i'm sure you guys have some idea when updates are going to be released. part of me hates this cause i just did a fresh install of 3.6 like a day ago and now i read this!?!? it's a love/hate relationship to say the least.

This is why I had been holding off on installing to my new site for the last few weeks. I couldn't figure out why so many people were migrating to 3.6.0 so soon after it's release.

[Ascor]

Why ? hum in my case, i was in total trust when it was say "now its stable"...
So and now a new upgrade with 100 bug resolved ..
Next time i wait a month or two before application of major update

[IncredibleHawk]

I upgraded but now I get this error afterwards, when I viewed the admin news to the right and dismissed it it did this!

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.0:

Invalid SQL:

whats next another 3.6.x or is vb 4.0.0

[good2laugh]

Why ? hum in my case, i was in total trust when it was say "now its stable"...

well it was stable. It's just annoying, because of the infuriating REVERT templates, every bit of customisation gets lost, which is why they should include a navbar editor, because now I have to feck about getting rid of all the grime I don't want like memberslist (what is the point if we disable it??? bizarre) and add the stuff I do want like links to my gallery, links and home page. I can't believe vbulletin have still not sorted this out - they must know how much messing around it takes. sigh. no I'm not really complaining, cos I want bugs fixed, but there has to be a better system than this - I had two nav bars, now I gotta go searching through all the threads on here and other places to get it how I want, when a simple editor in admin would solve this. Well maybe the how to sections will be properly updated here so I won't waste too much more time.

[Colin F]

There were no alterations to the post or thread tables.

[wii]

Updating from 3.6.0 to 3.6.1 - no problems, as usual....

[Garamond]

Thanks to Jelsoft for another strong update.

[007]

Upgraded yesterday morning and has been running smooth since! The new infraction banning options are great! I also like the "select all" when searching posts. That always bugged me in the past.

Thanks!

[towersl]

upgraded this morning as promised, all working hunky dory, thanks guys....you ruuule!!!!! :)

[Zingu]

awesome! bbbuuuuttt....

to be clear...
if we do the template edits manually we don't need to revert them first right? just do the manual edits as listed in the template edits thread for 3.6.1? is that correct? or am I missing a lot (entirely possible).

[Colin F]

Yes, that's correct, for the templates where the changes are listed.

[Kusadasi-Guy]

Coolio Jelsoft!

we are one more step closer to vb4.0 :p

[saralove]

wow

[wii]

What are the plans for vb4 ? Anyone ?

[The Notorious]

update done, tnx!

[Colin F]

What are the plans for vb4 ? Anyone ?Oh come on, don't rush like that :)

[wii]

No rush, just curious if there´s a roadmap like many others have.

[1996 328ti]

awesome! bbbuuuuttt....

to be clear...

I always revert then edit.
If you don't revert, just edit, wouldn't you still have a notice that your template needs to be reverted?

I only had 3 templates to edit.
I LOVE PLUGINS! :D
It took me longer to backup my boards than to update them.

[Kohhal]

Upgraded with no problems :)

[rezapci]

Thanks so much, I just update it, work so well as always :)

Thanks guysssss <hug>

[good2laugh]

Is this news things in the admin cp going to hang as the version number does if vBulletin site is down? if so how do I remove it

[feldon23]

If you don't revert, just edit, wouldn't you still have a notice that your template needs to be reverted?
If you have a template which dates back to 3.6.0 and vB says you need to update it, and you edit that template for ANY reason, regardless of what you're actually in there doing, it will consider that template updated for 3.6.1.

Again, I think the best solution is to get a "vector" of every template changed from 3.6.0 to 3.6.1 and then make the same changes. The number of changes WE make to the templates has to be far greater than the number of changes made to the templates by the developers. We're rearranging entire chunks and removing sections. They're fixing URLs, tags, etc.

[Mike Sullivan]

Is this news things in the admin cp going to hang as the version number does if vBulletin site is down? if so how do I remove it
No, it's asynchronous.

[feldon23]

Now that's a great use of AJAX!

[nasser71]

board has bin upgraded
thanks

[Andy]

Upgraded this morning. Thanks for all the fixes and improvements. :)

[Aeolian]

just when i made all the changes and updated to 3.6.0 .. and now this.. damn!

[Ogden2k]

I'm still using the last RC for 3.6.0. I need to renew my liscene. ;)

[whmtalk]

Oops! I did some mistakes in the upgrade. Could you guys please guide me how to apply the complete DB backup on a fresh VB install?

*I've the DB backup but... I refreshed the page when I was at the 5 step (final) in the upgradation process. Now all the smileys are looking weird. All the other stuff is working fine though.

[Zachery]

Please create a new thread or support ticket. This is not the place for support.

[phill2003]

I am a bit arsed off with all this updating and stuff, in words of one syllable is this update security focused and if i decide not to upgrade will my site be vulnerable from vb3.6.0?

[sabillondesigns]

how come some people have less templates to edit? im i missin something?

[feldon23]

how come some people have less templates to edit? im i missin something?
If you have not modified any of the HTML on your forum, which is contained in the Templates, then you don't have to do anything besides upload the vBulletin files and run the upgrade.php script.

IF you have made any changes to the Templates, then you have additional work ahead of you.

[feldon23]

I am a bit arsed off with all this updating and stuff, in words of one syllable is this update security focused and if i decide not to upgrade will my site be vulnerable from vb3.6.0?
vBulletin 3.6.1 does not contain any security updates.

vBulletin 3.6.1 fixes over 100 bugs from 3.6.0 and adds a few features. If you are not encountering or affected by these bugs or don't need those features, you can wait to upgrade until you have more time to set aside for this task.

The time between the release of 3.6.0 and 3.6.1 has been 6 weeks. I think that is not unusual. If it were any longer, there would be a lot of complaints about bugs not being fixed and slow updates.

And because of the release of security patches for 3.5.1, 3.5.2, 3.5.3, 3.5.4, and 3.5.5, all upgrades since 3.5.0 (which was released September 28, 2005) have been optional for security purposes.

[Floris]

I have never updated my vbulletin before so how do I do an upgrade?

I tried and this is exactly what I did.

1. Run the update script for 3.6.1. It however said that my version is not what it was downloaded at(it said RC2). I first got vb when it was in RC2, however when I upgraded to 3.6.0, maybe I did it wrong then. I dunno...

2. Then I reverted all me templates.

3. Then I started moving all my files over to the appropriate folders. I just did the '/' folder first to see if there was anything that doesn't work. Well I refreased and all I saw was a database error everywhere and it said something like "Invalid SQL..."

Now I have 2 guesses as to why it may have done this.
1. I should have run the update script last.
2. I should have moved all the files because.

Or maybe it's because the updating script thought I had a different version...
Please don't use this thread for support questions.

[feldon23]

And it sounds like you completely missed the most important step of downloading vBulletin 3.6.1 and uploading all the files, overwriting your old version of vBulletin.

[CaCo]

I am reading , there were good news. thanks a lot

www.cagatayca.net (http://www.cagatayca.net)

[indie]

Any new images we need to upload?

[Colin F]

There's a refresh image for the Image Verification.

[Ascor]

well it was stable.
Hum a stable product is someone you can run more to 6 weeks whit perhaps little bug and not whith 100 bug and a lot of file change
Next time i take more attention, specialy when a relase comme out just before coder go in holliday.
Saying that 3.6 is stable whas a little précipitation ;)

[1yesfan]

Where is the list of all the bugs fixed with 3.6.1?????

I upgraded my forum from 3.5.3 to 3.6.1

It works very well now.

Thanks ;)

[Masiello]

Thanks for this great job ;)
Works Great, no problem during and later upgrade from 3.6.0
we only need for a good translator language team :/

[BIGMONAY2K]

thanks for this great update guys, but I'll wait until 3.6.2 come out.:cool:

[SaN-DeeP]

upgrade went smoothly, i was prompted for reverting 3 templates showthread, navbar and forumdisplay is this fine or should i revert/change some more templates ?
this templates reverting confuses me everytime :S

[feldon23]

Revert Template = Lose your changes
Don't Revert Template = Might still have bugs or problems
Solution = Use Template Compare feature

[Cromulent]

The ones that ask you to revert them need to be updated (either reverted or edited manually via the template compare feature) the ones listed in the release thread that say revert not required are optional updates and can be done at your leisure (although still probably a good idea).

[jiffy]

There's a refresh image for the Image Verification.

What file name is that so I can upload it on it's own.

[jiffy]

Never mind I assume it's just the image called "refresh.gif"

[Onimua]

Never mind I assume it's just the image called "refresh.gif"
It's listed in the announcement. ;)

[GamEscape]

Updated! ;) ...went without any problems. Thanks for fixing all those little buggies especially with infractions! :D

[NineToez]

Installed without a hitch! Photoshopped the ./images/misc/refresh.gif button to match my button set and only had to revert two templates this time around (thank goodness!) to complete. Looking great and loving the new features!

[Smoothie]

Don't care for the new refresh.gif icon next to the image when registering. Liked the old way better. There is no explanation of what that does, new members trying to register may or may not know what it does.

[BS Support]

thanks

[Zafrir]

- It Looks like the chenging time zone option is not working for me on 3.6.1 worked on 3.6.0.

[Forum Dude]

I'm glad about the update. Awesome to see everything updated, and such. Just wondering though, are the template/file changes required?

[Cromulent]

Some are some aren't, see the annoncement (required changes have required revert: Yes below them).

[flashbox222]

Interesting

[chewbacca]

Just like GreenHybrid I am getting messages that more templates have been changed than were listed in the release thread. In my case, MEMBERINFO (Scott), pm_messagelist (Scott), and SUBSCRIBE (Kier) are listed as changed since 3.6.0. (Hmm... I think this happened when 3.6.0 was released too. I never found out if the templates were really modified or not.)

My templates are already heavily edited, so if anyone can tell me the changes since 3.6.0 or has a stock 3.6.0 template, please help us out.

Thanks. :)

Just view the history and compare the templates.

[raiderlax]

Is it me or does it run faster???

[Floris]

Is it me or does it run faster???
It is performing really nice on my sites too. The bottleneck appears to be the shared hosting solution. Not vbulletin :)

[PitchouneN64ngc]

There is nothing in the announcement about the MEMBERINFO template.

Change

<!-- signature row -->

to

<!-- infractions row -->

[Chousho]

Could you guys keep upgrading until you get to 3.6.9, because I think that would be cool!

[chewbacca]

Just view the history and compare the templates.

Someone said to do that last time too, but I don't think you guys know what I'm explaining. I didn't make just tiny changes. Viewing the template history doesn't help at all. :(

Thanks for your help though.

PitchouneN64ngc, thanks for telling me about that. It looks like the changes weren't listed because they don't really matter. Can anyone confirm this for pm_messagelist and SUBSCRIBE as well? Thanks again in advance.

[Eq4Bits]

I've been a bit busy with other things and had put off upgrading from 3.5.4 to 3.6 (I know, but I didn't have the time to dredge thru all the templates/changes because of mod's installed) I had planned on doing this starting on Monday night. Now there's 3.6.1. Ugh. So do i first do the upgrade to 3.6.0 make all my template fixes, then download and upgrade with the 3.6.1 pack? or.. can I just download the 3.6.1 pack and do a straight upgrade from 3.5.4 using the 3.6.1 pack?

[chewbacca]

You can do whatever you want. You'll just have to go through every changed template and make the necessary changes. In your case it might just be easier to revert and re-edit each customized template.

I'd just go straight from 3.5.4 too 3.6.1 if I were you.

There's a refresh image for the Image Verification.
Is it in the images folder, or somewhere else?

[Colin F]

Is it in the images folder, or somewhere else?
In the \images\buttons\ folder.

[jluerken]

What did you change in the Template MEMBERINFO
Its showing up as changed but you did not write in the release post what was changed.

[Colin F]

Just a comment.

[PitchouneN64ngc]

Just a comment.
And for the pm_messagelist template? The space removed after "<strong>$vbphrase[download_all_private_messages_as]</strong>"?

Edit: for the template SUBSCRIPTION too, it miss from the announcement ($colspan instead of 6).

[John Stone]

I upgraded my forum from 3.5.5 to 3.6.1 yesterday. Flawless, trouble-free update, as usual.

I remember a few years ago when I was researching which forum software to use, I finally settled on vB. I've never regretted my choice for a moment. The quality of the product combined with the outstanding support makes vB the best forum software package available.

Another job well done, vB team! Thank you. :)

[mspas]

thanks for update

[Quillz]

whats next another 3.6.x or is vb 4.0.0
There will probably be another minor 3.6.x update, with 4.0 being worked on in the long term.

[Caiman]

This is yet another reason I love this software. I use quite a few plugins now, have a customised style and so on, but the upgrade went easily and I encountered zero issues, a bit of tidying up with my customised stuff and all is well. Thanks again, devs... keep it up.

[Chousho]

There will probably be another minor 3.6.x update, with 4.0 being worked on in the long term.
*crosses fingers*
Please be either 3.6.9 or 3.6.12

And isn't it bad luck to have a version number starting with 4? There are buildings that don't have a 4th floor, but skip from 3rd to 5th.

[djbaxter]

I was trying to wade through all 12 pages of this to see if my question had already been answered but to be truthful I gave up half way - do we really need 300 people saying "will upgrade tonight" or "I upgraded" cluttering up a thread like this? :confused: :mad:

Question:

I was new to vBulletin at 3.60, so this is my first upgrade. Once the upgrade is completed, is it wise to delete the install folder? Is there a security vulnerability if that folder is not deleted?

[GearTripper]

i've posted everywhere but in this thread which seems to get more notice... the current version of ImpEx DOES NOT work correctly with previous vB 3.6.x to 3.6.1.

Err, the next version of the 3.6.x series is going to be 3.6.2 and they won't skip version 4 as it will cause a lot of confusion I would imagine.

[Chousho]

What? :confused:
err, maybe it's the 13th floor. I read it a while ago, haha. In other news, great job on the new release!

It's better to remove the install folder :)

No its not, only the install file need be removed.

[Onimua]

They'd go to 4 if it was a new major version, though. ;)

[djbaxter]

No its not, only the install file need be removed.
Or upgrade.php, I presume. Is there a downside to removing the folder?

[Colin F]

Actually, only install.php
If you want you can remove the others, but it won't make a difference. Only downside is that some of the maintenance functions might not work.

I couldn't have said that better if I tried. Can we maybe create a topic where actual questions are asked and answered?

Who cares that you upgraded and all is fine, and your so freaking happy there's an upgrade. Jelsoft, I waited a fair amount of time to upgrade to 3.6 now 3.61 how long do I have before 3.62? a month, two, maybe three?

Mean time I'm getting tired of searching through all the kudoe's, you all need to bring something to the topic at hand, or create a topic for actual upgrade questions.

3.6.1 was 6 weeks after 3.6. I would imagine, based on previous releases, that 3.6.2 will be 1-3 months after 3.6.1.

Generally, questions about future versions of vBulletin are best handled in the Suggestions & Feedback forum.

Mean time I'm getting tired of searching through all the kudoe's, you all need to bring something to the topic at hand, or create a topic for actual upgrade questions.
Sorry, but "this is great!" is a perfectly valid response to this topic. If you have a question, problem, issue, or etc. they go in the Troubleshooting or How Do I forums.

[DJ RRebel]

3.6.1 was 6 weeks after 3.6. I would imagine, based on previous releases, that 3.6.2 will be 1-3 months after 3.6.1.

I just have to mention that this statement isn't quite technically correct.

Theoretically at this point there is no 3.6.2 on the horizon as there are no serious bugs in 3.6.1 as of yet to merit a 3.6.2 (or at least none that I know of).

HOWEVER ... that could change tomorrow and there might be a security hole discovered that might make Jelsoft release 3.6.2 tomorrow!

In theory the next known "upgrade" so to speak is either 3.7 or more likely 4.0!

That being said .. it is very likely we will see several updates to the 3.6 line mostly for batches of general and/or security bug fixes AND posibly some minor feature additions/tweeks ..

3.6.2 might be out in a few days or in 6 months, it really depends on the severity of the bugs they find in 3.6.1 and how urgently they want to add anything (which is very unlikely since any major new features will probably only be added for 3.7 or 4.0)


Now .. THAT is actually a question you can ask that Jelsoft probably does have an answer for in which is the next significant release: 3.7 or 4.0 and what are the planned changes/additions that's being planned for it? ... as for an ETA of that version ... well ... that's always subject to too many variables to give any accurate date at all .. however, I would say with 99% certainty that there will not be a 3.7 or 4.0 until sometime next year ... if it's a less significant upgrade (probably 3.7.0) like 3.6 was to 3.5, then we'll probably see it in about 4-8 months ... if it's a significant upgrade with several new features then it will most likely be about a year*!

* = or in more likelyhood, 366 days after I renew my access to the member download area ... lol


In terms of minor upgrades in the 3.6.x line ... on average we probably see about 6 or 7 before the next signifcant release (with one coming anywhere between 3 weeks to 3 months depending on the bugs) .. that being said though .. 3.6.1 *COULD* theoretically be the last one until 4.0.0


On that note however ... it would be kinda cool for there to be a semi-official roadmap with a summary of featured marked for probable inclusion in the next significant upgrade and obviously not an ETA, but posibly a DNB (definitiely not before) date.


Sorry, but "this is great!" is a perfectly valid response to this topic. If you have a question, problem, issue, or etc. they go in the Troubleshooting or How Do I forums.

I'll have to both agree and disagree with you on that ... these discussion topics do tend to get sidetracked quite a bit too much to the point where it IS quite annoying sometimes ... however you're right in that someone saying that upgraded successfully IS indeed very relavent as I often wait to see a few people have upgraded test forums successfully before upgrading myself ... BUT it would be nice if people also posted other relevant info when they do such as database size, members, posts, time taken to upgrade and any issues / problems / questions / ambiguities in instructions they had.

That being said though ... after a few days and 10 or so people saying they've upgraded successfully, unless someone has anything technical to add or had a larger database than any posted so far, then "I just upgraded" does take away from the topic and turns what could be a helpful thread into one that people don't even bother to read!

I guess in theory the argument is that anything technical doesn't even really belong here in the first place .. and that's true to some degree ... but I've learnt quite a bit over the years from reading these threads and I think it probably would actually be a bit better if it were kept a bit more focused!

But that's just my opinion! lol :)



How's this for being off-topic myself .. lol: Feldon23 ... sorry if it seems my two comments didn't quite agree with what you posted ... I want to be VERY clear that these two are actually exceptions and I have seen you being VERY helpful to various members with their questions and give excellent and informative replies ... and for that you should be commended and thanked .. so .. umm .. Thanks! :)

[feldon23]

There are 2 sides to every argument. Be popular, take both. ;)

If something valuable comes up, I post it, but generally it's problems people are having and those go in Troubleshooting. Most of my posts in these topics is explaining in about 4 different ways what "Requires Revert" means. :)

Requires Revert? huh? What's that? lol

[Cerulean]

I have everything set to update, but just wanted to make sure I understand.

1. Basically any templates that I have customised I will need to revert.
2. Do I need to make the changes that are listed on the other thread?
3. After reverting & making the changes (if needed) then I can install the upgrade.
4. Go back and customise.

Is that it?

Thanks for the help.

[ComputerVitals]

6 templates to revert, Nothing major. To be expected.

Forum upgrade broke my "Favorite Smilies" plugin but it was easy to reinstall that.

Well done guys!! Keep up the good work.

[chewbacca]

Heh, I had somewhere around 35 templates to re-edit. That's my expected number now. :p

I'm lucky most of the template changes were documented in the release thread.

So I've been running 3.6.1 for a week now and no major problems have come up. :)

Thanks for the help.

1. If your template was changed significantly from when you first customized it and vBulletin 3.6.1, and is required to be reverted in order for vBulletin 3.6.1 to function, then yes.
2. Changes?
3. Just upgrade, and then use the Find Updated Templates function in the AdminCP to locate all changed templates and update the ones needed to be updated.

[DigitALL2]

I have upgrade from 3.6 to 3.6.1 and read the thread with the templates to be reverted, modified, etc but I found few things unclear. I am not a programmer but I could search and replace code in a template.

Here is one of my problems: Under my default skin (provided by vBulletin) when going to CP, I do not see anymore "Private messages" anymore. If I access private messages link from the navbar after login, they are there but when you open one, it is displayed but no "Reply" or "Forward" button, only "Delete message". What template I have to change and how?

However, I assume there are some other things that may not work and following the thread with template change: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1210754&postcount=2 , as I was writing in the beginning, some changes are NOT clear what to do. For example:
------------------------------------------
threadadmin_movethread
threadadmin_movethreads
threadadmin_mergethread
threadadmin_mergethreads

Several changes were made to these templates. Expiring hours option for redirects, expiring redirect option for mergethread and mergethreads, set redirect title on movethread, select destination poll for merging multiple polls on mergethreads, synchronize style between the templates.

How exactly to "redirect title on movethread, select destination poll for merging multiple polls on mergethreads, synchronize style between the templates" ???
-------------------------------------------
postbit_quickedit
Add a maxlength attribute to the deletion reason
How, where?
-------------------------------------------

And there are some other... My second question: Do I have to modify/revert all templates that are listed there and under each skin I have installed?

[DigitALL2]

Here is one of my problems: Under my default skin (provided by vBulletin) when going to CP, I do not see anymore "Private messages" anymore. If I access private messages link from the navbar after login, they are there but when you open one, it is displayed but no "Reply" or "Forward" button, only "Delete message". What template I have to change and how?


Further to my initial message, I have done some reading through the forum and somebody else posted the same problem as above, of not having "Reply" and "Forward" buttons when viewing the private messages. The solution provided there was to reload on the server all vBulletin 3.6.1 non image files. I just did that and the problem is still there. Please advise. :)

[Colin F]

Please post in the appropriate forum to receive support.

upgraded from 3.5.4 to 3.6.1 today...the upgrade scripts took about 15 minutes to run thru...another 20 or so to update the threads and forums stuff...

re-backing up the db now, but otherwise it seemed to be VERY smooth

(course, 6gb of database server memory doesn't hurt) ;)


1.4m posts too....15k users, 110k threads....

As a side note...
I was looking through the code for inspiration, and trying to see how to do several things I'd like to do on my site. After looking...

I spent around a half hour crying

Best Regards, Roberto
3.6.1 was not released because of a security flaw. It contains bug fixes for ~100 issues as well as a few functionality tweaks. vBulletin 3.6.0 is secure, as is vBulletin 3.5.5.

Information on how to upgrade your forum is given in the announcement.

3.6.2 soon? Owh nooooo... Again upgrading AAAH ..

[GearTripper]

3.6.2 soon? Owh nooooo... Again upgrading AAAH ..
at least we're getting some notice this time around.

[SmashinYoungMan]

3.6.2 soon? Owh nooooo... Again upgrading AAAH ..
Heard that. Between upgrading my own sites and other sites for clients, I'm about to tear my hair out (I do a lot of template customization which only adds to the headache after an upgrade).

Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the prompt bug and security fixes, I just wish we'd have a nice long quiet period where we can sit on one release for a time.

[abcde]

so when is the 3.6.2 out? i think i better wait for a few days b4 upgrade. hihi

[FiX]

Hopefully 3.6.2 is live very soon - my updatelicese is running out at the end of the month :p

[oldengine]

My update license is running out at the end of the month. :pBut, you know that you're going to need it again soon anyway. :rolleyes:

I agree, that's also my problem.
Many template changes and when I have to revert a lot of them it takes me every time ages to restore it.

I think he's saying that for the "Where is 3.6.2? When's it coming?" posts.

Heard that. Between upgrading my own sites and other sites for clients, I'm about to tear my hair out (I do a lot of template customization which only adds to the headache after an upgrade).

Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the prompt bug and security fixes, I just wish we'd have a nice long quiet period where we can sit on one release for a time.

Same problem for me, custom styles, custom templates, custom plugins. :mad:
I think that the solution is be more quiet with the releases, employ more time to test, or publish as release candidate or unstable,

Then pretty much every software ever made will be labeled unstable forever.

There is heavy testing done to vBulletin. The problem is, not everything is able to be testing. You have lterally hundreds of different configurations vBulletin can be used in, and not all bugs are forun with everyone since some only effect certain environments, etc.

I don't know why everyone is fretting about it; there was more than a month between vBulletin 3.6.0 and 3.6.1; the announcement stated that 3.6.2 will be coming soon, not how soon.

I don't know why people bring up the plugin issue. If done properly, they should still be operable; the only thing would be templates which do not change very often after a version goes stable (anything else either fixes some bugs or adds more functionality).

It's just getting tiresome to hear people complain about upgrades and assuming alot more than what was said.

3.6.1 and 3.6.2 are completely optional upgrades.
