How long do think it will be until the full release of 2.2.2?

[John]

A few days - we're just checking that the system is stable out side of the environments where we have tested it.

When pruning a forum:

Database error in vBulletin Control Panel 2.2.2:

Invalid SQL: DELETE FROM attachment WHERE attachmentid IN (0,0,0) AND NOT attachmentid IN (0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000...

[Brian Cruz]

Anyone have a list of the changed php files?

Eep. same here. At least it didnt wipe the forum. hehe

[Craig Armstrong]

I don't think I'll upgrade my public board as I'm not experiancing any problems with 2.2.1. I will probably test it out though.

[version2]

I cant prune more than 10 days at a time or I get a timeout. And, if I go over 30 days then I get what I posted earlier. Kind of sucks.

[Fusion]

I know it's been pointed out before, but I can't seem to find where, so I'll just ask.. I see some people are using Beyond Compare to keep track of the changes they've made. Is there others? Some that work kinda like a RVS? Let's take a timeout to see what people is using, because I need to get one of those, and would like to see which ones that work. :)

[JamesUS]

Yes I use Beyond Compare and it's very good. Though I've heard excellent things about Araxis Merge, which I'm going to try next time I do an upgrade (not upgrading to 2.2.2 myself as I'm not having any problems with 2.2.0).

[Konqueror]

I'm using Beyond Compare and I love it. :)

[TripleH]

Where can i get beyond compare?

Ciao

[Ifrani]

You can get it here:
http://www.scootersoftware.com/

It is the best tool upgrading vBulletin if you have a lot of hacks implemented...

[Arathorn]

It is a nice prog. vBulletin should consider advertising the software in return for sales commission. :)

[Wayne Luke]

You could also try MultiHack (http://www.multihack.com/). I am going to test it out on the next upgrade I perform and see how well it works.

[XiXora]

hmm this looks sweet wluke thanx i'm gonna try both

[NYI Fan]

Has anyone who was previously having trouble with timeouts during mass prunes successful completed a large deletion?

Thx

[tomk]

can 2.2.2 be downloaded by all members, or is it in a controlled release?

Thanks,
TomK

[tubedogg]

http://www.vbulletin.com/members/

[Konqueror]

Right below the title "vBulletin 2.2.2 Release Candidate" on the page posted above. :) I somehow didn't notice it at first and downloaded vbb 2.2.1 instead. ;)

[XiXora]

i'm gonna wait for the stable version out :)
then i can hack me board at last :D

[tomk]

I saw it too, I'll wait for the final release too.

TomK

[TripleH]

When is the final version of 2.2.2 due out?

Thanks guys

[XiXora]

whenh ell freezes over i expect. v3 is out when i get laid.

[White Knight]

i am sorry to say but the timeout issue on purging is not fixed.. i still get them.. bummer.. and the only reason why i did this upgrade.

really? so i needn't update at all ... sh...

[NYI Fan]

Have you let John or anyone else know that the mass prune problem is not resolved?

[fury]

I think I'll wait for vBulletin 3.

[JamesUS]

The mass pruning issue should be a lot better than it was before.

Assuming there are no problems (and I'll let a developer comment on the mass pruning issue), then the final should be out in the next few days.

[XiXora]

plz plz quickly release i wanna hack my forums with the knowledge i dont have to rehack and recompile my templates ( till april neway :rolleyes: )

[diettalk]

Can I ask a stupid question... as a convert from UBB.. they released "upgrade" versions that only contained the files that needed to be upgraded.... How does vBulletin work. Do I just upload everything?

[Steve Machol]

The way it's worked up to now is that the entire program is released, not just the upgraded files.

[SNyB]

nice job :D

[Konqueror]

MultiHack looks very useful indeed. :)
Looks like I'll release my hacks using this tool as well. :)

[XiXora]

i dont understand it neone wanan give a demo?

[Hooper]

Awsome. Look at all these new functions........:D

[centris]

I just changed host and did an upgrade from 221- 222 (great timing) when I use the admin option to delete a thread, I get a message which says redirecting you back to the thread, but I just deleted it!!! I then get an error message.

[feldon23]

Do bugs go here?

I did a backup of my forum and then upgraded from 2.0.3 to 2.2.2 final.

After running the upgrade scripts, everything seemed fine on the forum. About an hour after the upgrade, I hit REFRESH on the forum and it showed the "not logged in/not registered" version of the Forum Home page. I typed in my login and pw at the bottom and hit Log In. No dice.

So I click "Forgot password" and have it mail my password to me. Instead of the 8 letter/digit password I had, it gave me what I'm guessing is the encrypted version of my pasword. Something like:

55c6af62866fbddccfc221ce42f57d7e

(a few digits changed to protect the innocent).

I guess I'll find out in the next few hours if 2.2.2 hosed all the passwords and I need to restore/reinstall.

[express]

So is Printthread.php the only php file that has been changed with this release?

[Freddie Bingham]

If you are having encrypted passwords emailed to you than that means you did not upload all of the files as you are required to do or you put them in the wrong place.

[Remi]

I am confused :confused:

Has the final 2.2.2 ben released or you are talking about 2.2.2 Candidate releas!!

Can some one tell me please :o

[centris]

Final was released a few hours ago - running fine here. Other than the above bug.

[feldon23]

Am I screwed?

Can I upload the files and then run the upgrade scripts again?

[LuBi]

So the final is out. Has anyone posted the "change list"? Someone helped us out big time before I am hoping this will happen again?

[feldon23]

Well, I just uploaded all the files in the ZIP file for 2.2.2 and now the whole thing is totally hosed. None of the php pages will display anything.

That's what I get for worrying about my hacks being undone. Looks like I'm going to be teaching myself "Beyond Compare" after this.

Guess it's time to tear it down to the ground and clear out the forums directory and reinstall vB and hope my backup I made earlier today (before the flummox) works.

[centris]

There is a list of template changes and bug fixes (with links) on the download section of the members area.

[feldon23]

Wish there was a vBulletin chatroom...

I'd like to confirm that there's no way to fix my forum without reinstalling before I blow it away and start over (I do have a SQL backup).

[Sean]

Install this tomorrow! ;)

[certify]

Just did my upgrade, I'm so happy. :D

[dkilburn]

uh oh...i'm sure I missed something significant. I followed the directions to upgrade from 2.0.3 to 2.2.2. When I ran the upgrade13.php, upgrade14.php, and upgrade15.php, nothing showed up on each screen. Now, when I go to my board and admin panel, all I get is a white screen :( Any ideas?

Debby
http://www.collegeteacher.org/forums/

[feldon23]

I'm in the same position, all white pages. Looks like I'm totally screwed and have to tear down the database and start over with my database backup.

I was in no rush to upgrade to 2.2.2, but my moderator suggested it.

[iwbyte]

Eeek - two above posts are a little scary - i'll wait for confirmation that they were fixed before I download this, since i'm in the same boat - running 2.03 and running fine but i'd like to get up to date eventually...

I'm not a PHP/SQL guru by any means, but if I do the database backup via the admin CP, and things go wrong, how do I get the backup restored? Is there a setting in vBulletin to do that???

[dkilburn]

When I go into phpMyAdmin, the database looks alright. It's just the front end that's not showing up.

[feldon23]

It looks like you have to completely tear down the forum, delete the whole directory, then delete the mysql database (in my case, this means contacting my web host!), then reinstall vbulletin from scratch, then restore the backup.

Definately a total frickin nightmare.

[dkilburn]

Before I made the upgrade, I renamed my old admin folder to admin-old, and moved all of the php files into a backup folder. I just put everything back (rewriting over the upgrade files) and things are back to normal, thank goodness!

I'd still like feedback on the white screens.

[tamarian]

2.2.1 -> 2.2.2 final , no problems

What hacks did you have installed? When you uploaded the new files, any hacks to the various php scripts are replaced by the new script. Can you check your database with repair.php, in the extras folder? Upload repair.php to your public_html folder. Use this command line in your browser.

http://www.yoursite.com/forums/repair.php?check=1&iterations=4&forum=your_database_name

replace your_database_name with the name of your database

If the datbase is OK, most other issues can be sorted.

[feldon23]

centris,

I have repair.php and global.php in my forums directory.

I get a white screen when I try

http://www.feldoncentral.com/forums/repair.php?check=1&iterations=4&forum={my database}

replacing {my database} with the actual name of the database.



The problem is, I ran the 3 update scripts without uploading the files first. Then I uploaded the files.

[Steve Machol]

feldon23,

Could you please show that you are a licensed customer by following the instructions in the last line of my sig? Once you've done that, post your problem in the Installation forum. Thanks!

[feldon23]

Ok thanks.

Moved my tears over here:

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&postid=241570

[Steve Machol]

You got it. Thanks!

[Floris]

This went just perfect!

I made an update of the database and downloaded all the files from the forum dir from the web server and then uploaded the new 2.2.2 files and run the upgrade script. Perfect! No errors!

I went from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2 and am very happy about it!

Man! I want to upgrade to v3 like this too in a few months!


I want to thank the developers from vBulletin for their great job and effort they put in the software. Much appriciated!

[buster]

2.03 -> 2.22 no problem

[John Round]

I can't upload in ASCII, vBulletin is running on my home server ;)

[dkilburn]

I uploaded all the files twice in ASCII and still got the blank screens (v 2.0.3 to v 2.2.2).

[feldon23]

Wow, that's 4 people screwed so far.

Looks like a bug after all.

[Steve Machol]

I suggest that anyone having problems with their installation post a new thread. This will make it easier to provide help.

[Ed FvC]

Two sites upgraded, (yes, they're both registered, don't worry guys ;) ) and zero problems.

Thanks!

[Syphin]

So, Is printthread.php the ONLY actual php file change?

And Mines running great also.. ^^


-Syphin

[John Round]

I fixed it :D

All I did was relace the old with the new (previously I had tried to upload everything fresh)

Now running fine :) - Time for some hacks!!!

[Dark_Schneider]

how can i get the full version of 2.2.2


i'm using 2.2.1 now and i woulde like to get the new version

thank U all

[tubedogg]

You'll need to go here
http://www.vbulletin.com/members/forum.php
and enter your username. Then while you're in the Member's Area you can download 2.2.2.

Please read this thread: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=36784 I set up a few steps there which you can go through, in order to get avatars/attachments working. Hope it helps!

[X-Fan]

My apologies if this has been asked before, but how would one go about upgrading from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2 when they've got vbPortal installed?

And I assume that upgrading from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2 you'd have to re-edit all the php files to re-initialize any hacks installed on 2.2.1?

[Dark_Schneider]

but i don' have a user name :(

<< email removed again - stop it! >>

[Floris]

After I upgraded to 2.2.2 I went to the user control panel: here (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/usercp.php?s=) and updated my profile (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/member.php?s=&action=editprofile) to reflect: Version of vBulletin 2.2.2 instead of previous version :) Maybe nice hint to those who didn't do that yet (and maybe fix a signature too?)

Email removed by JamesUS

No!
vBulletin 2.2.2 is available for users who purchased it legally. Upon purchase they receive an E-mail with their vBulletin members area login/pass details. With that login/pass combination you can surf to www.vbulletin.com and click on the link 'members area' > enter the login and pass and you get an overview of your license details. There is a link on that page called 'download'. Click on it, and select vbulletin 2.2.2 in .php or .php3. That is the ONLY way you can get a full version 2.2.2 users from this forum are not authorized to give you their version.

If you HAVE purchased the vBulletin in the previous 12 months, then you can get vbulletin 2.2.2 from the members area. If you have purchased the vBulletin longer then 12 months ago, and you have an owned license, then you have to renew the license in order to get new updates ($30). For purchase details, follow the link in my signature and click on 'purchase' from the result page. If you do have an legal version, but no login/pass combination for the members area, please post a sales ticket (through vbulletin.com/sales)

I hope this clears a few things up!

[Joe Gronlund]

not sure if this is a bug or a normal function but i dont think it happened in previous releases,
when someone chooses an avatar to upload they set it to use custom avatar, then when they browse for that avatar and click on it, it resets it from use custom avatar and chooses the first avatar in the list. the person not being aware of that hits ok to upload and it doesnt upload the avatar meant to be uploaded it sets it to the first avatar in the list of avatars on the site. no biggie for members that see it happen but confuses the heck out of my new members hehe.

if this is normal function or a already submitted bug sorry about this post.

Any dates, approximate or exact...? Should I wait for it or not?

31st march is the end of q2 2002, and around that time, it is due to be released, unless they need more time. :)

2.2.2 is worth it, upgrading to v3 will be very easy. What do you mean? wait for it?

[Byron]

fantom, I presume you are considering buying vBulletin.

There is no need to wait till version 3 before you purchase vBulletin.

The current vBulletin is already the best BBS you can ever find. You will not regret.
