vBulletin 2.0.2 Released - Discuss

[John]

Chit chat away....

John

[Joe]

Looks great, but all thoes changed templates! Noo!!! :)

[s.molinari]

Wow! Have we got work to do on our german translation! :)

I guess I was to fast with my question in the chit chat forum. ;)

Anyway, great work!

Just a question though to Kier. Weren't my vbcode.js changes worth adding to the new version?


Scott

[rockergrrl]

I'm downloading now.... I have 3 files to download and 3 boards to upgrade...

[Kier]

Joe: The template changes really aren't all that major - there's quite a lot of them, but most of them are just tiny things, like cleaning up the HTML, or adding a little Javascript etc. You should be able to check your templates against the default templates and make the changes fairly easily.

One of the major changes is the removal of the numbernav template. This was the template that controlled the old [ << < 2 3 4 > >> ] page navigation system. This had been totally demolished, and replaced with the new pagenav_xxx templates, which allow you far, far greater control over the appearence of the page navigator.

Scott: Mate, I simply haven't had time to really go through your code and check it thoroughly for bugs etc., or to check for the necessary alterations to the templates. I'll try to take a look at your changes sometime before the next release.

[RobAC]

John,

Just a quick question for clarification, for those of us upgrading from 2.0.1 you say:



> From 2.0.1
Note, this is slightly different to standard upgrades
Upload the upgrade11.php, then run the upgrade11.php script in the admin area. When you are done upload all of the other scripts. Be sure to delete install.php and all the upgradex.php scripts.


Should we only upload the upgrade11.php file and run that before uploading any of the other files in the upload and admin directories in the zip file?

[Freddie Bingham]

You have to upload upgrade11.php first and execute it because it changes the session table and if you upload the other files first nothing will work since those files will be looking for the changes made by upgrade11.php.

[snyx]

As if you guys knew I took this week off. :rolleyes:

[RobAC]

Ok cool. Thanks Freddie. I just wanted to make sure before doing something wrong. :)

[Mike Sullivan]

Make sure you revert your modifyoptions template, or you won't be able to change your options! (you'll get a blank page)

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou for your answer! I thought I was being left out in the cold by you guys. Since you didn't have time to get the script worked into 2.0.2 could I have your or John's gracious permission to post it again in the hacks forum. I don't think it is any kind of trade secret and I know it will make ALOT of vB users happy. It can also be thoroughly tested this way saving you the effort!:D

Scott

[RobAC]

Whoa.........cool admin features. :D

[Kier]

Scott - yes, go ahead and post it in the hacks forum, with a note that it is to be used only for vBulletin, and that inclusion of vbcode.js in any other forum system contravenes vBulletin copyright (because how many times have i seen my code being used to power another board? .:rolleyes: )

Yahoo!.....oops......Yeehaw! :D :D :D :D

Thankyou! From me and all the rest of your loyal vB users.:)

Scott

[Chris Schreiber]

Another smooth upgrade! Just remember, read John's instructions and upload just upgrade11.php and run it first before copying all the new files (of course I just uploaded everything.... duhh) :)

[RobAC]

Not sure if it's supposed to work like this or not, but if I look at a user's profile in the Admin CP and click on one of the new options at the top: View IPs For [user], i'm sent to:

Begin New Search
IP Address
Username
Depth to Search

All text fields are blank and do not show the IP address for that user.

[polizist]

Upgrade worked perfect for me. Cool new features!

[nuno]

how do i enable track_vars??
i get this message:

Welcome to vBulletin Version 2.0.2. Running this script will do a clean install of vBulletin onto your server.

Even if one of the above checks "failed," you may be able to proceed without problems. However, it is recommended that you adjust your settings so that all tests pass.

:confused:

[rebby]

i just upgraded and i got NONE of the new templates??? how can i get these? should i run upgrade11.php again??? :confused:

[Daroz]

I copied my /forum directory to a new directory, copied the new files from the distribution .zip file into that directoty and tried to run upgrade10.php... Got this:

[Freddie Bingham]

You uploaded all of the files and not just the upgrade11.php. In fact if you are doing any type of upgrade you need to just upload the upgrade scripts, run them and then upload the rest of the files.

here is what i did.

closed board
uploaded upgrade11.php
ran upgrade11.php
uploaded everything else
removed upgrade* and install.php from admin area
opened board

i did this just as the instructions said...

what can i do to fix this??? how can i get those new templates???

[Mike Sullivan]

Clarification to original instructions (and now edited to say this):

Upload upgrade11.php AND vbulletin.style.

If you already upgraded and didn't get the new templates, make sure vbulletin.style is uploaded, then go to .../admin/upgrade11.php?step=3 .

Ok, That worked... The in-place upgrade (from 2.0.0) bomed for me as well. I had to revert to backups.

Mabye an edit of the annoucment post would be a good idea. :)

All is well now, running 2.0.2. Now lets see what the users do... :eek:

<edit>
Right, if you have PHP 4.0.3 or later, it'll report it as off. It seems it would report it on for me as I added a track_vars line to my php.ini (it's not there by default). So if you have PHP 4.0.3+, it's actually on, even though it says it's off.
</edit>

[nuno]

PHP version: 4.0.4pl1

php.ini

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Data Handling ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Note - track_vars is ALWAYS enabled as of PHP 4.0.3

added this:

track_vars = On ; enable $HTTP_GET_VARS[], $HTTP_POST_VARS[] and $HTTP_COOKIE_VARS[] arrays
; automatically add files before or after any PHP 3.0 document

working fine now tx ;)

[polizist]

i would love to have the who´s online sorted by last activity

[Freddie Bingham]

It's sorted by Username and guests are not sorted at all but if you wish to do so just change this:

ORDER BY user.username

becomes

ORDER BY session.lastactivity DESC

If you wish to have Members sorted by name and guests sorted by activity than change it to:

ORDER BY user.username, session.lastactivity DESC

Guests and Members will still be sorted apart, you can't change that very easily. I had meant to make that an option but forgot about it (next version).

[Dave#]

smooth

[evoir]

:D

[Steve_S]

Congrats to the entire gang of talented folks for this release :)

[Reef Board]

Ok - the upgrade worked except on the forumdisplay it doesn't have the "quick who posted" and it doesn't link the "Currently Active users" to online.php on the forum home?? What did I do wrong?

[Freddie Bingham]

Simply means you need to check the list of templates that were changed and revert them. i.e. forumhome and the forumdisplaybit templates.

I had that track_vars line in there and that's what was the problem. :) Either way, as that's a bad place to have an error, install.php has been updated so that problem won't happen anymore.

[WEBDosser]

After backing up the database i cannot proceed to step 2 it just says this.

We have detected that you have already tried to run the upgrade script. You will not be able to proceed unless you revert to a vB 1.1.x database.

Please i need some advice..

Please i need some advice.. Did you attempt to run the upgrade script before this message appeared?

[WEBDosser]

I ran upgrade1.php and then it said backup your database so i did. then could not proceed.

Just wanted to add....

UGH.... this is going to take me a week... :)

[inetd]

Hello. To make upgrade vB with 2.0.0 up to 2.0.2 it is necessary to do upload all files or only upgrade10.php, upgrade11.php and vbulletin.style?

[Kier]

You must upload ALL the files.

If you are upgrading from 2.0.0 to 2.0.2, you must then run upgrade10.php and upgrade11.php

[inetd]

From annoucment:


Upgrade instructions:
> From 2.0.0
Upload upgrade10.php, upgrade11.php and vbulletin.style. Run upgrade10.php and proceed through all the steps. Run through upgrade11.php and now uploaded the rest of the files. When you are done, be sure to delete install.php and all the upgradex.php scripts.

[Kier]

Okay, yes. I thought you were asking if you ever need to upload the other files.

After you have run upgrade10 and upgrade11, then upload all the other files. (You will not need to re-upload the image files though)

[inetd]

Tell please what particularly files were changed/added. Because I changed some files itself, and at me problems if I shall make re-upload all files can arise. I shall be very grateful.

[Kier]

It's rather more of a case of which files were not modified... an awful lot of the code has changed in a lot of files since 2.0.1/2.0.0.

[inetd]

Then can be make the list of the changed files for the following releases?

Whether tell files please were changed: index.php, register.php, sendtofriend.php, report.php, private.php, private2.php, newthread.php, newreply.php, member.php, showthread.php, search.php, calendar.php, member2.php, poll.php, usercp.php?

[Kier]

index.php YES
register.php YES
sendtofriend.php NO
report.php YES
private.php YES
private2.php YES
newthread.php YES
newreply.php YES
member.php YES
showthread.php YES
search.php YES
calendar.php YES
member2.php YES
poll.php YES
usercp.php YES

[almighty one]

[Kier]

:rolleyes: ;)

[SteppenWolf]

Thanks a lot to vBulletin Team !!

I love the new who's online function !!!

I've just finished translating the 2.0.2 style...

i'll release it at vBulletin-france (http://www.vbulletin-france.com) during the next hour : i must verify all is working good !


CONGRATES TO JELSOFT !!!

it's a very good version :))

hum, maybe too much templates have changed :D

[DevilsMania.com]

i did that but....
all of sudden...

the php pages doesn't run anymore
try it: http://forum.devilsmania.com
so as upgrade11.php etc etc

why ? and sometimes i get this msg:
--------
Warning: Too many connections in ./admin/db_mysql.php on line 38

There seems to have been a slight problem with the database. Please try again by pressing the refresh button in your browser.

An E-Mail has been dispatched to our Technical Staff, who you can also contact if the problem persists.

We apologise for any inconvenience.
----------
so i have added the old files... but ? the problem of not loading php pages stays...
what's happened ?

[jucs]

His instructions need to be updated. It says upload all files and then run the install. That's incorrect, right?

[Mike Sullivan]

Warning: Too many connections in ./admin/db_mysql.php on line 38 Turn off persistant connections in your config.php and/or email your host and see if they can increase MySQL's max_connections variable.

[EXCHANGE]

First shoked when I saw all the changed templates, but that was just the first look.

Upgrade worked without problems :D

thanks

[dwh]

Is there a way to output all the modified templates from vb2.01 to files (the filename should be the templatename) and all the new templates from vb2.02 (again, the filename should be the templatename) into separate directories so I can run a beyond compare on them and this would suddenly become WAY easier!
Thankyou.

[jucs]

Took less than 10 minutes.

Flawless.

I knew there was a reason I picked this forum software!

Thumbs up guys as ususal!! :D

Great new feature additions snuck in there too!!

[almighty one]

do i need to revert any templates other than the one mentioned?

[Reef Board]

Originally posted by freddie
Guests and Members will still be sorted apart, you can't change that very easily. I had meant to make that an option but forgot about it (next version).

In the mean time, could you tell what we need to do to implement this? I really want this. It just looks more "clean" :D. Thanks

Phil~

[dwh]

btw, while I'd still love to have that feature of template comparison in beyond compare, I've improved my inline template hack so that you can view the old template and new template side by side. The hack isn't perfect but it worked for my needs. See my sig.

[Freddie Bingham]

Implement what? Guest mixed in with Members? I wasn't referring to that, I was referring to the sorting order via username/last update while maintaining them apart. You can mix them up as easy.

[inetd]

In online.php file there are mentions of a chat and gallery. How to see gallery and a chat?

P.S. Who's online - super!

[Reef Board]

Though you were refering to that :o . Anyway - what do I need to replace in order to get guests mixed in with users sorted by last activity?

Phil~

[Freddie Bingham]

Chat and Gallery are just there in case you are using your own hacks named that! You can look at those two to see how to add other things that you may want (from your own hacks).

[Freddie Bingham]

More than I wish to go into right now, maybe tomorrow.

[inetd]

[Reef Board]

I am trying to alter what it says when a user is doing a certain activity. I went into online.php and I changed a line like from

Reading thread <insert thread php code link> etc ( or similar line )

to

Reading: <insert thread php code link>

I save the changes in online.php and upload to the forums directory in ASCII mode. I then get this parse error every time when I change this.


Parse error: parse error, expecting `']'' in /www.reefboard.com/cgi-bin/forum/online.php on line 199.

Online.php then doesn't display. But if I go back into online.php and *fix the changes back the way it was*, it works.. What gives? I can't change the text without it displaying this error.

Phil~

[Freddie Bingham]

Show me what you are trying to change and what you changed it to except take this to a new thread in the hacking forum.

[Jake Bunce]

successful upgrade here.

jake likes the new features very much. :)

[eva2000]

[FWC]

Great job guys! I had the board down for about 10 minutes to do the upgrade. I love the new control panel features and the who's online stuff.

[f150guy]

Since performing the upgrade, I too received this error:


Database error in vBulletin: Link-ID == false, connect failed
mysql error: Too many connections
mysql error number: 1040
Date: Tuesday 31st of July 2001 01:04:06 AM
Script: /forums/index.php

Fortunately I woke up around 2:30am and rebooted the server, otherwise it would have been down all night.

I've been running for about a month w/2.01 and NOT using persistant connections and this never happened. Any thoughts why this would occur all of a sudden? I can't have this happen every night...

Steve

[Silviu]

I rushed to upgrade and copied ALL files and then ran upgrade11.php . What should i do so i revert back to 2.0.1 and then go copy upgrade11.php only and then the rest of the files ?

[Reef Board]

Make sure you copy vBulletin.style to your admin directory before running upgrade11.php.

Phil~

[Silviu]

Yes, but how exactly i revert to 2.0.1 first?

[tubedogg]

As long as you aren't getting any errors you should be fine. I believe they fixed the part that required uploading of certain files only at first.

[Silviu]

Nah, i dont get any errors, the board runs smoothly :) But i just read some comments on this thread, thats why i asked bout this revert things to 2.0.1 . So, u think there is no need to do all this ?

[Axel Foley]

Originally posted by freddie

Freddie so the forumhome and forumdisplaybit templates HAVE changed? Then why those two aren't in the Template Changes list of the announcement?

I'm a little confused after reading your post, can we trust the list of changes that is in the 2.0.2 announcement or not?

Thanks for the help, I'll wait for your reply before upgrading.

I can't seem to find 2.0.2 in the member downloads area, just 2.0.3. Does this (2.0.3) download include 2.0.2 or something?

[Mike Sullivan]

Yes. Downloading 2.0.3 and running upgrade11.php will upgrade you to 2.0.2.

[dwh]

This is too confusing..since 2.03 is going to be the only 2.0 supported, why not close this thread and refer new posts to vb2.03 discuss thread? Just my opinion.
