Yap .. it is ok now .. :)

[harishankar]

Is this a security release or a bug-fix release?

[DJ PİSAGOR]

Thank you for this release, going to update now :)

[scotsmist]

Big thank you to the jelsoft development team for this bug-fix release.

[albrens]

Thank you for this release :)

[WildEye]

Time to upgrade yes :)

Still on 3.6.0...

[wii]

It´s funny how the refresh button in the register page was deleted, it wasn´t there to start with, in version 3.6.1 it was added and now 3.6.2 removed again.

[Kier]

Is this a security release or a bug-fix release?
Please read the announcement:


Although this is not a security-driven release, it does nonetheless contain resolutions for several important bugs and we would recommend that all customers upgrade to 3.6.2 at their earliest convenience.

It is not the first time that options appear and disappear over releases.

[Reece^B]

Great, something to do today! :D

[Ranger375]

Cool, hopefully I don't screw up the upgrade and my board doesn't go down for a day :D

[ecansel]

Upgraded... :) Thank you all team

Thank you for this release

[TTG]

Smooth and simple .. thanks for the upgrade.

[Joe Siegler]

Is there a changelog anywhere? I know it says "bug fix", but I like to know what's actually changed in releases.

[demethoca]

thank you so much: I was waiting :D

[MButler]

I am unsure if I'm going to upgrade just yet. Does anyone know where I can get that template editor tool from (English version)?

Thanks :)

[vitnuce]

Have 3.6.2 got any new functions with 3.6.1 or it's only a bug-fix version?

Upgrading later :D

[nymyth]

ah man...lol...and it took me a whole day to put all my mods back when i upgraded to 3.6.1 ...... thanks for the release though.... here we go again...

Peace

[Ohiosweetheart]

Have 3.6.2 got any new functions with 3.6.1 or it's only a bug-fix version?

Upgrading later :D


from Kier's release post:


The vBulletin team is always keen to stay on top of newly discovered problems in the software and when a potential data-loss flaw was discovered in vBulletin 3.6.1 a patch was released within hours.

This release includes that patch, along with fixes for a number of other problems and glitches that have been found along the way.

Although this is not a security-driven release, it does nonetheless contain resolutions for several important bugs and we would recommend that all customers upgrade to 3.6.2 at their earliest convenience

I would take that to mean, no new functions ;)

[Kihon Kata]

upgraded mine from 3.6.1 -> 3.6.2

No problems at all!

Thanks vB

[Warlock40]

Please tell me I don't have to redo all the styles again?

[Kihon Kata]

Please tell me I don't have to redo all the styles again?
Hi Warlock. That exact thing has bugged me for years also! That's why I am down to only two styles and will not be going to add anymore. In the past, I had 5-10 and upgrading was so painful!

[mikegray]

Just upgraded 2 of the 3 boards I control. No fuss at all. :)

[Darkblade]

Thanks for the quick release. I'll upgrade my forums right away! :)

[barroca]

Hello,
Tks for the new version. In vb-brasil we just notice this - see here (http://www.vb-brasil.org/forums/anuncios-noticias/279-novo-vbulletin-3-6-2-a.html) (portuguese).:cool:
But... when we find the list of bugs fixed and bugs still remain? Example: the trouble of charset in RSS is fixed? :confused:
All the best

It's been replaced with a text link.

[Eagle Creek]

AAh :).

Can I ask why?

[joshx]

he meant 'text' btw. :)

[Eagle Creek]

Hahaha, I know ;).

[chewbacca]

It´s funny how the refresh button in the register page was deleted, it wasn´t there to start with, in version 3.6.1 it was added and now 3.6.2 removed again.
The devs tried out something but then listened to customer feedback. I find that nice and responsible in a way, not really funny. :p

[Eagle Creek]

But what's the reason to remove it again?

[chewbacca]

Read about the suggestion here. (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=200827)

[TCattitude]

I choose to pass over 3.6.1. I will update to 3.6.2 ASAP ;)

[Serkan Yılmaz]

Thank you .

[Robbed]

Is there a list of what's new?

[q8_star]

Just for confirmation. where it says "require revert", we can just apply the new changes instead of reverting the whole template? right?

[chewbacca]

I think this release was just bug fixes (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/bugs36.php).

[Klaymen]

Upgraded succesfully. ^_^

[firewire]

Upgrade went through as smooth as always, in less than 10 minutes. Thank you for your continued excellent software maintenance.

[WildEye]

Upgraded successfully but i have a ">" just above my navbar... I manually edited the changes that was required to update (i have a arcade link in my navbar). Support forum here i come :)

[fischermx]

Where's a "what's new" section to learn what was changed or fixed in this release?
Actually, want to know what was changed or fixed in 3.6.1 as well.

well my upgrade from 3.6.0 - 3.6.1 was very painful (first time vb admin). I amazingly didnt crash my board and everything went smoothly while upgrading to 3.6.2. I actually paid attention this time :cool:

Everyone please use English only on the forums so everyone can understand.

[WurkAnimal]

Nice

[GlobalFusion]

Damn... I was really hoping this release would fix the RSS issues from 3.6.1

[RaceJunkie]

ah man...lol...and it took me a whole day to put all my mods back when i upgraded to 3.6.1 ...... thanks for the release though.... here we go again...

Peace

Better off to just patch it untill a version with many changes come out, Like vB3.7.0 I learned the hard way. Trying to do full updates on a moded site is painfull

[Transibus]

I am so glad I don't run phpbb anymore! This is my second upgrade now (3.61 and now 3.62) and I have never had an easier time updating a modified board!

[chewbacca]

HA, no more painful than it is for us style/skin designers! But I'm still very glad they're keeping on top of the bug fixes.
Tell me about it. :p
Every upgrade always takes me about an hour or more because of looking for changes in templates (especially the ones that show up in the CP but aren't listed in the release post).

[Forum Dude]

I can't wait for vBulletin 3.7.X to come out! 3.6.X upgraded fast...seems like vB4 isn't that far away! I have to wait to upgrade though...and it'll take a while..

[MrNase]

I have a question on the upgrade:

Shall I replace ALL files with the new ones or shall I just upload the new ones?

[furst]

God, what I wouldn't give to be able to upgrade without reverting all template changes..

[UnderEstimated]

great everything went smoothly :)

[Gaia]

Upgraded with no problems, much thanks.

[cjwinternet]

[StuntFactoryX]

upgrade went well... my users are complaining of a log on issue they said was never there before upgrade. somthing about logging on everytime they visit. its working good for me. i went from 3.6.0 to 3.6.2.. did i do somthing wrong or is it a coincidence?

[incurable]

Thank you for the release.

[dholt]

Thanks upgrade complete.:D

[teedizz]

Im currently running 3.6.1, if I updated will this revert all of my template changes to the postbit, header, ect ect? or will it bypass those & just let me know that thier outdated? I have alot of custom things that I dont want to lose by updating. Thanks for the release & any info. you can provide.

[ChrisTech]

glad I came to the forums looking for something else. Didn't recieve an email about this upgrade. And address on file is working. Urgh! :mad:

[wii]

You need to buy a license first pal !


Someone gimme direct link as when i go to download in members area the link isn't their can someone give me direct 1 thanks

[sross]

I have in the past used the upgrade method of a file compare tool. If I use a file compare tool to update the new files listed by vbull, update my templates, then run the upgrade script is that still an ok method?

[Tantawi]

Upgraded just fine (Y). Thanks :)

[mwhoob.net]

:p looooooooool nice upgrade

[towersl]

all updated! thanks to the VB team...you rule!!! :)

no templates needed reverting and all mods work fine.

[DinamikNet]

I have a question on the upgrade:

Shall I replace ALL files with the new ones or shall I just upload the new ones?
You can delete and re-upload all files for a fresh upgrade....
And you can just upload the changed files for an easy upgrede...

Thank you vBulletin team

[DruidToolz]

i have a question to ask the team.. I haven't had time to upgrade from 3.6.0 and there is already a newer version 3.6.2 The question is do i just upgrade from 3.6.0 to 3.6.2 or do i need to upgrade to 3.6.1 first then to 3.6.2 The reason is i don't want to mess my board up and do something wrong and i can't fix it later.. Any help would be appreciated.. Thnx

Simply go straight to 3.6.2....the upgrade process will take you through what was changed in 3.6.1 anyway.

[madzat]

thanks for the release:)

[woodysfj40]

smooth upgrade, only 3 template on my setup from 3.6.1 to deal with...thanks!

[Mark.B]

I believe it is now deemed traditional to post in these release threads announcing that one's own upgrade has been carried out successfully with no issues, and to congraulate the Jelsoft team on a good job.

Therefore, my own upgrade has been carried out successfully with no issues. Congratulations to the Jelsoft team on a good job!

[DruidToolz]

Thanks for the reply..

I can relate to the templates but i can't change 1 of my templates cuz it was custom made and i can't get ahold of the maker for it.. So it will have to stay til i get the update on it..

[chewbacca]

Someone gimme direct link as when i go to download in members area the link isn't their can someone give me direct 1 thanks
Even if you get a direct link you'll need a valid number and password, which means you won't have access anyway.

[Davidhi]

Can I double check what im doing before upgrading so i dont bugger up.

1st, generate full backup via cpanel
2nd, close forum
3rd, download the full 3.6.2 package
4th, upload all the folders rewriting all previous folders.
5th, fill in the new config file.
6th, run the upgrade script
7th, reopen forums

Then thats all done?

[chewbacca]

Switch #4 and #5 around.
I also download a copy of all of my "old" files since some of mine are modified.

[ALBi0412]

Just bought a license and installed v3.6.2 last night. :D

Very nice experience.

[Davidhi]

Upgraded took 5mins no probs at all very easy, only template that needed reverting was showthread. ;)

[Greek76]

What do I download off the members ares Impex or Vbulletin? LOL Im still a newb.

[chewbacca]

If you're already using vB, download vBulletin. If you need to import data from another system such as IPB or phpBB, then get both.

[x__5]

Thank you :)

you kidding mate ................ive never known a software to be upgraded as many times!

christ youl get sick of posting that comment!

i will ask a civilised question............is this or maybe could this be stable .......just even for a couple of weeks, its getting tedious upgrading every other week / month.

Great system i have to say but maybe more background and pre-run tests before release may make sense.

No doubt im in the dog house and post deleted but honestly why so many in so little time?

[chewbacca]

I'm a spammer.

I agree with your opinion, but many people don't upgrade unless a release is "gold." After that, many more bugs are found early on so they get fixed and new versions are released in relatively rapid succession, from what I've seen. After a few of these "minor" upgrades, the updates will probably come in slower than at the beginning. Hopefully this will apply to 3.6 as well.

[jamboomla]

I am still deciding whether to upgrade as I have only just completed setting up 3.6.1, but coming here has managed to cause me concern.
Thoughout this thread there are users with postcount=0 and postcount=1 when there are several posts from those users.

I would like reassurance please, that the postcounts on 3.6.2 are actually working properly.

Thanks.

[Destiny1]

Upgrade killed my site three times I don't know what we did wrong but everything went, and when I tried to down grade I couldn't so I had to delete it and start again, now I am trying to work out what the heck I did wrong before we go live again.

[Neal-UK]

Yeah, your showing as 0 after that. Perhaps post counts don't show in here?

[jamboomla]

After two posts I show up as 1, so I guess this will give me 2. I want to know if this is just a vB.com specific issue or a 3.6.2 issue before I decide to upgrade. Its kinda concerning.

Edit: okay, I guessed wrong. After a grand total of 3 posts, I have been showing as 1 for the last two. Seriously concerned about the upgrade now :(

[joshx]

posts in this forum don't count. it's been covered numerous times.

[feldon23]

There is nothing wrong with vBulletin 3.5.2 re: post counts.

[bmc]

Thank you for this update! :)

[HSV Z Clubbie]

Just upgraded from 3.6.0 to 3.6.2, all went smoothly....Thanks

[Rocol]

Another nice upgrade, all went smoothely, many thanks to the vB Team :cool:

[basilrath]

its not the upgrade ...........as we all know you can upgrade in no time its the frequent intervals this seems to be occuring..........as has been said this is not the product but the testing of it before release.

[jamboomla]

posts in this forum don't count. it's been covered numerous times.

Ok, thanks for clarifying this for me. However, how is a new customer supposed to know that this forum does not behave like a standard vBulletin install where it comes to post counts? It may have been covered numerous times but not in any obvious place ;)

[joshx]

yeah well, there should probably be a sticky. or maybe use that good old search button before freaking out.

damn nubs. ;)

[rezapci]

successfuly updated

Thank you :)

[peterska2]

Upgraded smoothly yesterday, but still ploughing through template changes now, 14 hours later!

Someone remind me to not completely rewrite half the templates in six styles, I upgraded from 3.6.0 to 3.6.2 and had 413 templates to update. I've quit doing them for a bit now, but I still have 103 to go.

Thankfully my other site was nice and quick with just two templates to update and just minor changes at that :)

Nice work though guys :D

[JamieLee2k]

Can someone please explain the updated styles option I have in my AdminCP, I installed 6 styles last night and when I logged on this morning I was told this "There are currently 14 customized template(s) that need to be updated or reverted. Some sections of vBulletin may not function if you do not do this!"

Now I don't wanna start chnaging code since I don't know what I am doing here, Some help would be nice, like where to start? and why I need to change them? How to change them?

[zlib]

Yeah, asking in this topic is the best way to go about it.

[physi]

I've uploaded all 3.6.2. files correctly and when I tried to run the upgrade script I got this (see attached image).

When I upgraded from 3.6.0. to 3.6.1 there was no problem. Same when I installed the 3.6.1. bug fix.

P.S. I run vbadvanced as well but I've not tampered with any vbulletin files.

PLEASE HELP!

[ChipTz]

Just to thank vBulletin team for changing the caps lock on warning (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=191437), so that I can still input my password with caps on without having to click on a box after the first letter :)

[it_pimpin]

Will upgrade. Thanks to the vbulletin team. !!!!!!!!:p

[oldengine]

3.6.2 went in fine. Now all we need is software that will automatically take our marked hacks from the existing templates and install them into the new ones. :eek: Or, HOOKS for templates!

[navjotjsingh]

Upgraded smoothly to 3.6.2!! Nice Upgrade! No Glitches!

[sa3sa3]

Thanks for the updates versions.

I have a question.

Do I have to do the upgrade every time by the upgrade function. and then loosing all my small touches that I used to add to some the templates !

the same applies to the stiles too.

one last question.

I just updated my forume from 3.0.7 to 3.6.1. But, I'm not able to get the default style ! I tried to upload it from the install file but it is not working.

thanks

EDIT: Sorry - wrote this here because we are upgrading to 3.6.2 in two hours and I wanted to incorporate that feature.

[karlm]

you have built a "History of Similar Threads".
How did you do that?

It's in the adminCP.

[chewbacca]

why do you always have to update the navbar template ;-;
I didn't know it was changed this time. What got changed?

[Alex Kabbaz]

It's in the adminCP.Thank you very much karlm! Made my day.

[Dream]

I didn't know it was changed this time. What got changed?
good question, I didnt check the version history

[jamboomla]

yeah well, there should probably be a sticky. or maybe use that good old search button before freaking out.

damn nubs. ;)

I asked a simple question and should have been able to get a simple answer. I was neither freaking out nor ignorant of using the search. Search, however, did nothing except waste an hour of my time before I asked the question.

I just love the friendly, helpful answers customers can get on this forum. I guess there should be a sticky saying, "If you want support, use Google, if Google doesnt give you the answer then by all means post on the official customers forum where you will be told to use the search feature. If search doesn't give you the answer - tough."

Updated 2 sites from 3.6.1 to 3.6.2.
All I needed to do was edit a few files for vBadvanced.
What a pleasure.

Any new images in the images folder? Thanks

[Marco van Herwaarden]

I suggest you use the Entire package.

[chewbacca]

Any new images in the images folder? Thanks
According to the announcement, only the refresh.gif image was removed with nothing added.

One question..
I run 3.5.4, so I would have to do template changes for 3.5.5, 3.6.0, 3.6.1, and 3.6.2?

[peterska2]

One question..
I run 3.5.4, so I would have to do template changes for 3.5.5, 3.6.0, 3.6.1, and 3.6.2?

Most templates have been changed, so it would probably be easier to revert all templates and start again creating your style or implementing any template modifications for products that you have installed.

The best way to make the template changes if you wish to do so manually instead of reverting is to use the template comparison feature and make the changes as highlighted there.

[DJ RRebel]

Those of you who want to know what has changed between 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 ... unlike what some have said here, the only change is NOT the removal of the refresh button .. but like almost all other updates, there has ALSO been some bug fixes. The bugs fixed in this case are not security related so as such you don't necessarily need to rush to upgrade .. BUT you'll still have those old bugs if you don't upgrade so it is strongly suggested that you do upgrade eventually!



One question..
I run 3.5.4, so I would have to do template changes for 3.5.5, 3.6.0, 3.6.1, and 3.6.2?

If you do go that route, don't forget you also have to do all the changes in all the Betas and Release Candidates.

As Peterska mentioned, you'll definitely be better off restarting your templates from scratch as virtually all templates usually change between major versions (In your case between 3.5.5 to 3.6.0Beta1).

I usually restart my templates from scratch between major versions like that as it would very likely be longer to actually figure out all the changes than simply to redo them all (and this is coming from someone who can spend over a dozen hours redoing my templates .. as long as that takes, for major versions, it would be several times longer to compare each template as they can change significantly between major versions).

The changes/modifications are usually much less extreme/significant within the same major version (like 3.6.1 to 3.6.2) ... and as such then it would almost always be quicker and more efficiant to simply compare changed templates.

[.:Estello:.]

Are any of the versions free?

[DJ RRebel]

No .. vB is not a free product.

In my opinion it is well worth its price, but you might not see the value if you have no budget and are only planning a very small community and you don't need any significant features.

If you're asking because you simply want to see how it works, then you might want to try their demo here:

No, this forum simply doesn't count to the post count.
That's a standard function, setable per forum.

[mikeinjersey]

How come it says the config.php was NOT updated from 3.6.1 to 3.6.2... yet it says "revision version 1.37" for 3.6.2 and "revision version 1.36" for 3.6.1 ?

This makes me feel like I have to update all my settings on the config.php once again. Why not just keep the revision version the same if there are no changes?

[feldon23]

There are no changes in config.php since vBulletin 3.6 and the changes are rather trivial from 3.5 -> 3.6.2.

[feldon23]

There was a change, but it wasn't a change to anything you'd even notice. It removed the ?> at the end of the file. Config.php compatibility will never be broken in patch-level (1.2.x-level) releases.

That's a list for upgraders. Config.php.new is never needed for them.

Now what?? The download area shows this today:


Latest Stable Version: 3.6.1

yeah, odd numbers suck.

i followed everything told and read how to upgrade from 3.6.0 but it totally screwed up my forum and i lost everything it said it could write to the header when running the upgrade.php script :mad:

i even have to try to get my members to re join and everything now :mad:

now ive had to re create the database and build my forum from absolutely nothing just cuz i chose to upgrade from 3.6.0:mad:

damn stupid way to upgrade for a peice of software that supposed to be the best.:mad:

why do you have to do a near complete install to upgrade why cant you just do an upgrade that just changes the few files it needs.:confused:

i wont be upgrading anymore thats for sure as its not worth the damn hassle and very dissapointed with the way the support is given on this product to.

Just restore your backup.

(You DO have a backup, don't you?)

[Scormen]

Thats why they recommend a full (database)-backup before you upgrade... No probs for me... I have upgraded from 3.5.4 -> 3.6.0 and from 3.6.0 -> 3.6.1 and a few days ago from 3.6.1->3.6.2 without any problems :)

You can alway restore from the backup of your database from before you attempted the upgrade.

thats fine but it wouldnt install the update after i uploaded the files ,then it wouldnt let me revert back to the old install and yes i had backed up the database but it wasnt the database that was the problem

after uploading the files it wouldnt even let me run the upgrade.php file it just errored out saying it could do anything with the header.

therefore it wasnt my fault as such it was just a crap way of getting people to update their excisting forums, ive had to remove every file on my server re upload and do a fresh install using 3.6.2 just to get it to run ive now got to rebuild and re create my whole forum and i shouldnt have to do all of that just to upgrade some software that they should of got right the first time round.

and when you complain to them they ignore you or tell you to do what you have already done and aint that helpfull at all

If your database is fine then just reupload the vBulletin files from your old version, you can download older versions in the members area.

I always backup the www firectory before uploading any new versions, so you can easily go back if something goes wrong.

[telc]

it wouldnt let me restore from the back up because it wouldnt let me back into the software cuz it wouldnt install or revert back to the old version


You don't have to have to log into vBulletin to restore a backup assuming you have shell or phpMyAdmin access.

You are being extremely vague. Without EXACT error messages it's difficult to know what's going on. When you say "could do anything with the header" I believe you are referring to the exact PHP error message:


warning: Cannot add header information - headers already sent in ????????? on line ??.This is easy to fix. This means that you uploaded the files with the wrong mode or have accidentially added a space to the beginning or ending of one of the files such as config.php. If you tell us the exact steps you took, we'll be happy to troubleshoot the problem.

If you had stated the EXACT error message in a topic in the "Troubleshooting" forum, solutions would have been presented to you.

Modifying the original PHP files is strongly not recommended for vBulletin 3.5 and 3.6 series because of the Plugin/Product system which allows you greatly extend vBulletin without hacking up source files. If you choose to modify the PHP files, you are responsible for synchronizing the changes on subsequent upgrades. Dozens of files are changed with each upgrade. Also for diagnostic purposes, the version number is imprinted in each file so it will warn you that you have out-of-date files if you leave some old versions behind.


it wouldnt let me restore from the back up because it wouldnt let me back into the software cuz it wouldnt install or revert back to the old version
vBulletin control panel depends upon a working database to run. If the database is broken or not there, you can't get into vBulletin control panel. Backup/Restore of MySQL database is done using MySQL database management tools such as phpMyAdmin, MySQLDumper, etc.

[Rick Horwitz]

Are you sure your license isn't expired?

I'll check, but I didn't see any notice of that.

[TheBlackPoet]

i'm afraid to upgrade... when i upgraded to 3.61 from 3.54... i lost the forum and all the work... and had to rebuild from the ground up... my members were not happy.... now i am back up and running great... and some are still wary....
i cant afford to have data-flow loss... but i really cant afford to have forum-failure again.....
can i just update specific files that will not necessarily threaten my forum from failure??

[bmc]

That's why you backup your entire forum and forum database before running the upgrade ( as it states to do ). That way, if you mess up, you can always go back to what you had.

[Scott]

Thanks for the upgrade!

Re: latest version = 3.6.1 instead of 3.6.2

If your membership has expired then you will only see the latest version you had access to before your membership expired. I noticed I had the same issue when I last upgraded as it showed 3.6.0 instead of 3.6.1 ... as soon as I renewed it showed up imidiately.

There really wasn't any significant notice alert stating my membership was expired .. but just go where you would renew and it'll tell you when you need(ed) to renew! :)

[Marco van Herwaarden]

There is always a warning mail send a few weeks prior to a license expiring.

[chewbacca]

Wow, I'm surprised by the number of people who don't back things up and then blame vBulletin for faulty upgrades. Perhaps the step about backing up should get a huge font size increase (to 500%)... :p

[TheBlackPoet]

you know.... you are correct.... backing up.... I KNOW BETTER.. but even i have brain farts sometime.. especially on new things and where i am the one who is to be held responsible if it dont go right....

anywho..im backing up the forum... and the dbase

i will do the upgrade... if something fails..... i can dump the directory... ad reload my original forum... same directory name... and i will be back in business as i was b4??

one other question... the templates will overwrite my hacked templates... i will have to go back through and hard code those????

[TheBlackPoet]

That's why you backup your entire forum and forum database before running the upgrade ( as it states to do ). That way, if you mess up, you can always go back to what you had.

thanks.. this advise will be used....

[feldon23]

When you upgrade from vB3.6.1 to 3.6.2, it will NOT replace your templates. Instead, you will get a caution when you login to the AdminCP that several templates are now out-of-date. They are "frozen in time" at 3.6.1 with your changes. You may experience bugs and flaws from trivial to critical depending upon what changes were made. For instance, if you customized a lot of templates at vBulletin 3.0 and upgraded to 3.5, avatars didn't work, inline moderation didn't work, and the Logout link didn't work until you synched up the changes with the templates.

It is up to you to compare the templates and figure out what changes were made from the stock 3.6.1 -> 3.6.2 template and then make those same changes yourself. OR if you documented all your changes, then Revert each template and apply the same modifications to the newer template.

[chewbacca]

i will do the upgrade... if something fails..... i can dump the directory... ad reload my original forum... same directory name... and i will be back in business as i was b4??
Just replace the new files with your old ones and replace the upgraded database with your old one, and everything should be exactly the way it was before. :)

[feldon23]

Google CodeSearch -- Seems like a really bad idea to me, and Google does not provide any method in the Robots file to prevent it from crawling ZIP files and any PHP, JS, and other files it finds inside the ZIP files.

Who searches for code based on actual code?

[smsmasters]

How exactly do you search for vbulletin .zip files using google code search?

[feldon23]

I don't feel comfortable giving instructions on how to find people's copies of vBulletin.

Between Google Code Search and Google Cache, we're having to take steps to protect ourselves from Google! :(

Re: latest version = 3.6.1 instead of 3.6.2

There really wasn't any significant notice alert stating my membership was expired .. but just go where you would renew and it'll tell you when you need(ed) to renew! :)

I got my question answered... Unfortunately, I had to read through 14 pages to get that answer! ...It's always on the last page! :(

Looking forward to upgrading after I renew my licence. I just hope that I can be a part of the majority of people with little to no problems. Yes, I will remember to back up! (Shut your forum down... Back Up, Upgrade) I've upgraded a few times before, to a coupe of different sites, so I have faith that this will be painless. *knocks on wood*

Hey, how come my post count didn't go up? Haha, Kidding! :p

Good luck all.

Jelsoft Can't Release An Upgrade Script For Any New Version Or Update Group (e.g 3.5.X Or 3.6.X) .
If You Release An Upgrade Script ..Better than Now .
Now Customers Must Reupload All Files (Overwrite ) and Excute an Upgrade Program .

This is Just a proposal . :d
Thanks .

[chewbacca]

The upgrade script is the "program" that you're referring to, I think. :confused:

[KASHANWEB]

Yep . it is a "program" . But Any Upgrade Need to reupload All Files . Jelsoft Can Use A Internal Updater For Code changes . I think it .

[feldon23]

Yep . it is a "program" . But Any Upgrade Need to reupload All Files . Jelsoft Can Use A Internal Updater For Code changes . I think it .
This would require every folder and subfolder in vBulletin to be set to 0777.

[KASHANWEB]

I Know it .
But in each Upgrade All Files Does Not change . If Programming have a strategy to publish an product . They Can Made Easy to Use it at Future . Other Scripts released specified for Forum . Free , Easy Upgrade , No Limit , Most have Support ...! example : MyBB . It is Free , have inflection , ... Important : almost Vbulletin .
But JelSoft Vbulletin is Special & Better . and can be Better now . :)

- Excuse me for bad english

[chewbacca]

You also have to keep in mind that many people hack their files, so a script that looks for code and makes changes would not be viable in those cases.

Also, you are correct about not every file being changed with every upgrade. Posts such as this one (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1225322&postcount=2) tell you which files you need to upload. I always upload all files to have the dates change and for the version number change (in the comments), but you don't really have to if you don't want to. :)

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Starting with vB 3.5 it is hardly needed to make code changes anymore, and you should try to avoid them whenever possible.

[oldengine]

Is there a way to call additional header templates without the modifying the global.php code?


eval('$headinclude = "' . fetch_template('headinclude') . '";');
eval('$header = "' . fetch_template('header') . '";');
// calendar header mod
eval('$header1 = "' . fetch_template('header1') . '";');
eval('$header2 = "' . fetch_template('header2') . '";');
eval('$header3 = "' . fetch_template('header3') . '";');
eval('$header4 = "' . fetch_template('header4') . '";');
// end calendar header mod
eval('$footer = "' . fetch_template('footer') . '";');

Otherwise, I have code changes pretty well cleaned out.

Isn't there a downside to having lots and lots of plug-ins?

[feldon23]

Isn't there a downside to having lots and lots of plug-ins?
There is no upside to hacking up PHP files.

[chewbacca]

There is no upside to hacking up PHP files.
So the performance cost of having all hacks as plug-ins is better than those as edited files?

I haven't looked into the files deeply enough to know how the plug-in system works, but I'm basing my statements off of this post at vB.org (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=663102&postcount=1).

I'm not against using plug-ins at all. I have a few of them where I really don't want to edit the files, but some chunks of code are easy to add in, and some might not have hooks. I made an edit log, so I know where things went.

And if you double-click the post icon, you can lock and unlock a thread.

[chewbacca]

And if you double-click a forum with new (unread) posts in it, you can mark it read. :p

Hey feldon23, is there a definitive answer to my question? I just want to know what's best to do if I'm willing to make little changes to the files here and there. It's not like they take me 10+ hours. :p Thanks.

[feldon23]

Definitive answer? No.

I am just trying to figure out what "little changes here and there" that you are doing? Care to share with the class? ;)

[chewbacca]

Well, for example, I have custom navigation breadcrumb markup so I needed something to generate the proper closing tags. So, in global.php I added a simple loop to the construct_navbits function.

Another little thing I did was include navbits on the error and registration pages. Instead of making a plug-in just so I can eval it, I just added that into the proper place in the files. It doesn't take long at all, so I don't mind doing it for each upgrade.

There are other changes, but many of them are specific to my community and many of them also comment out code to save some queries and processing. I won't list them. :p

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Please don't turn this thread into a coding discussion, use vBulletin.org for that.

Keep in mind that the post you are linking to at vb.org was written in the early beta stages of vB 3.5, when we didn't have too much experience with the plugin system, and there where still a lot of hooks missing. Good written Plugins should hardly have more impact on performence as code modifications.

[oldengine]

Is there a forum here or where for tutorials on using the hook system?

[feldon23]

Is there a forum here or where for tutorials on using the hook system?
No, because Plugins, Products, and Hooks are handled at vBulletin.org.

If you didn't see a warning about out-of-date templates, then there shouldn't be any changes that have to be made. :)

[zurv]

Hey guys,

I am currently running 3.5.4 and have tried to upgrade to the latest 3.6.2 but only to find faliure!

After following the directions 4 times I couldnt even get the install/update.php page to load, it would give me php errors.

Is there an easier way for me to do this upgrade? such as upgade to 3.6 first and then 3.6.2?

What about the customizations I have made? I dont want to reinstall all of those....

Thanks in advance! Any advice woudl be appreciated.
