Upgraded to 3.8.0 beta 1, blog not working...

[micks80]

Hi Friends,
I upgraded to Blog 2.0 beta 3 along with vbulletin 3.8.0 beta 1 by copying the files and then running the upgrade.php file but when I go to the admin panel and go under "vbulletin blog->blog categories", it's throwing a database error...can you please help???

Is the latest (unstable) version of blog compatible with the latest unstable version of vbulletin???

Table 'forums.blog_categorypermission' doesn't exist

MySQL Error : Table 'forums.blog_featured' doesn't exist

Seems like it's missing all the new blog tables, so where can i find them?????

Thanks
Mick

" Seems like it's missing all the new blog tables, so where can i find them?????"
By running the upgrade script (if any) for blog? Or reimport the new xml?

This seems to be a BIG issue as all the tables are missing but so far no support or help :(

You need to reinstall the Blog. Here is the documentation on vBulletin Blog:

Thanks Steve,
Your solution worked like a charm !!!

But I think there is one bug, when I add a new blog category in the admin panel, though the category gets added but later when I try to view the "blog categories" it shows blank entry under the "title".

You can see the attached screenshot to see exactly what i mean...

Thanks

That appears to be a bug:

Thanks a lot again Steve,
As pointed out in that thread, this resolved the issue:


After checking what could be the cause of this but, this is caused by the missing phrasetype 'vbblogcat' in the phrasetype table.

With Blog Beta 2, you had some phrases which are completely useless (view bug 26501 (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/project.php?issueid=26501)). With Beta 3, to avoid this previous bug, Freddie has removed the phrasetype, causing this error.

I've fixed my installation with this query:

INSERT INTO phrasetype (fieldname, title, editrows, product, special) VALUES ('vbblogcat', 'vBulletin Blog Admin Categories', '3', 'vbblog', '0');

After that, regenerate your languages on your forum and check if your categories names are back ;)

PS: on the query, add your table prefix if you are using one.
