Agreed. :) VB3 is an awesome product. The developers have done a magnificient job.

[JulianD]

Thanks to all developers! :)

[Chen]

Your license should be active now, we had a small problem in the system. :)

[Scott MacVicar]

All the licenes that had expired after 31st of March should now be re-activated with an extension date sometime in september.

[ReveX]

So its finnaly out! Geez this one was highly anticipated. Uploading now :)

Thanks for all the hard work!

[Jake Bunce]

also... from the announcement thread

...

The license extensions referred to above are currently being executed. Please be patient!

so your license might be "in the process" right now.

Thank you very much, Jake et al. :)

Sorry for this sudden outbreak...

I have it installed and I want to thank everyone for making this possible!

So where's Beta 4 at ;-)

[Marco]

Cool, you extended my license! You guys rock! :cool:

...Off to toy with vB3 now. :D

[MUG]

w00t :D

[S.Shady]

uploading atm. cant wait to see that acp

i would like to thank the vb staff and crew on making the product i love.
we all thank you for the work youve done.

Thanks to all the devs you guys did a great job. Now enjoy yourselves a cold one, and have a great weekend!

[YCrowley]

Top stuff lads, the wait was well worth it :)

/me gets beer ;)

[Spetnik]

I have made some database changes to my board (added a couple fields to the user table). Will this be a problem for the upgrade?

[Bungie]

Excellent! Thank you for all of the vBulletin team's hard work and dedication. And thank you for extending our liscenses! You guys rock.

Now I just need to figure out a way to leave work early so I can toy with it! :D

[aidler]

(If your server runs PHP as CGI and requires a shebang
like #!/usr/bin/php then enter it here.)

What's that supposed to mean?

[Xelation]

Cool, installing it now... Although I wont be using it until the hacks I want are converted and their is a stable release

[Cary]

[/size]

what's that supposed to mean? Some servers have PHP running as a CGI-Module. For those servers, you'll need to add the PHP path to every single PHP file. That option will add the path for you.

[Mr. X]

Mine is rebuilding counters (currently doing the search index). I'm keeping 2.3.0 around for a while since i put so much time into it, but I've got vb3 installed on my localhost to play around and test it.

Thnx to the Jelsoft team for all that they've done and letting the beta out of its cage! :)

[Semperfidelis]

Outstanding effort guys.
My sincerest thanks go out to everyone that worked on getting this here.

A special thanks also goes out to whoever came up with the idea of license adjustments.

All you guys truly rock.
And thankyou again.

[hockyfan]

Really appreciate the license extension guys - great work!

[Lorddraco98]

wow guys, amazing work. Just did a fresh install locally and an upgrade on my 2.2.6 live boards. Both went flawless. Once again, thank you for all your hard work and the many hours spent on this, it's definately worth it!
I still can't believe all the Admin CP options haha

[aidler]

Some servers have PHP running as a CGI-Module. For those servers, you'll need to add the PHP path to every single PHP file. That option will add the path for you.

My Provider is running PHP as a CGI-Module. If vB 2.3 is running without any problems will I have to chance anything for vB 3 in that regard? If yes - I don't know how to find out the PHP path.

[Mark Hewitt]

Install seemed to work but when I go to any of the pages, e.g. usercp, main index. I just get a blank page :(

[Cary]

Just open up your index.php file and you should see the path to PHP there since you're already running it when PHP is running as a CGI Module

[Magic Spark]

Amazing Stuff!

Thank you so much for your hard, hard work! :cool:

[DestyNova]

To vb-developers.. it is awesome software ever I see. It will take me at least half day to play around. Excellent job everyone of you. Thanks!

[Deviant Mind]

I just took tomorrow off of work. It's that good. Thanks to the VB Team. It was well worth waiting for.

[MidnightPyro]

I haven't tried vB3 yet..in the process of installing it, but I'd like to thank all of the staff, and all of the developers. I always knew you'd pull through :D Even though sometimes I thought you guys forgot about vB3, heh.

But honestly, thanks for continued development of such a great software packages, and pulling all-nighters for us, among other things.

[S.Shady]

installed. Working perfectly

Alot of options though. Took me some time getting it configured :) Good Job.

[Bema Jinn]

Bloody tipical, the moment i d/l VB3 my FTP fux up.

[assassingod]

Congratulations guys! Been waitin' all day, and it was worth it:D

[Tim Wheatley]

DAMN! Files as Attachments hack is screwing me up... (step 14).

[Attrox]

The script is looking nice so far...congratulations on the release, guys. :)

[Xelation]

I love it!!!! :D still gonna wait though.. anyways, how can I bring the edit templates section down farther? heres a screenshot of what I'm talking about...because I want to do the least amount of scrolling to find the templates.

[ABLady]

A warm and big thanks to Kier, and all the other Devs for a wonderful job.

A warm thank you to the Moderators as well, for their hard work.

A warm thank you to vB team and staff.

[Ogden2k]

in Whos online it shows a + beside the Admin's name (James, +Administrator). Plus CSS glow ranks dont work in IE anymore???? Why not? :mad:

[Silviu]

Install seemed to work but when I go to any of the pages, e.g. usercp, main index. I just get a blank page ... anything wrong? Could be because of the licence? I own 2 leased licences, i downloaded with the licence from one site and installed to the other one. Could this be the problem ? Anyway, im downloading now with the other licence, maybe will work.

[Steve Machol]

I have made some database changes to my board (added a couple fields to the user table). Will this be a problem for the upgrade?
Did you run the database conflicts script prior to attempting the upgrade?

Seems like this was the problem :) I uploaded the version downloaded from the correct licence and worked.

vB3 has surpassed my expectations...

In all truth, I wasn't looking forward to a lengthy install, complicated settings, new code and things like Karma, threaded view etc...

Now after looking at it, the only quibbles I have are:

1.) New style new style new style:D
2.) New style new style new style:D
3.) Lots of folders:(
4.) Too much to look at

:D

Well done guys;)

Anyone got a live board set up?:D

[S.Shady]

uhm here int he vb3 bugs forum

[S.Shady]

nope got my priv up though

[JulianD]

Finally I was able to download the file. My three browsers on my computer didn't work... They all seemed to download the file, and 5 minutes later, a window asking me if I'd want to save a file... I clicked YES and an empty file was saved.... I was getting angry so I decided to take more severe actions and used wget to download the package :)

wget --http-user=xxxxxxxxxx --http-passwd=xxxxxxxxxxxx --post-data="lnumber=xxxxxxxx&ext=php&getwhat=0" http://www.vbulletin.com/members/dl3.php

And it worked :)

Thank to all the devs :)

[Wayne Luke]

This is a common problem with some commercial firewalls. Disabling the firewall fixes the issue.

[Tolitz]

congrats to the vB Team for finally getting the public beta out ... (and thanks for giving the extensions!)

Just downloaded and will install it right now ... Excited to see how it works and check for bugs :D

Yeah some styles would be nice. I was playing around trying to convert my style from my 2.3.0 board over, and it is such a pain. The new style editor is so advanced. Nice work devs. Very awsome software. Love the AdminCP.

[Rose]

I'm playing a bit in the ACP, but I can't seem to find the template manager that has the list of all templates. Any ideas?

[poolking]

Style and Templates > Style Manager > click on the << >> button and this expands the style to show the templates.

D'oh, I see it now. Click the lil arrows. ;) Thanks, DEVS and TEAM for the software!

[Mr L]

Thanks to the VB team for this beta.

Initial impressions once I got this installed was it was totally worth the wait. The install was perfect, even though I installed this on a very heavy modded board (locally), I expected it to fall over somewhere along the way. All 42 processess went perfectly.

Great work Jelsoft, thank you.

[Schorsch]

Usercp -> Edit Options

thanks! how can I do it that this is the default value for ALL users?

[StephenStrong]

I have followed the upgrade directions, and everything went well until I tried to login at http://talk.cabletvinfo.com/talk/install/upgrade1.php it just does nothing ... it doesn't give me an error or anything, just doesn't nothing! ... any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated!

[poolking]

So what is the archive function for? It just seems to give a list of the forums and sub forums.

[dpkm]

So what is the archive function for? It just seems to give a list of the forums and sub forums.

Primarily for search engine crawling and indexing, since search engine robots have difficulties with session ids.

[Kaffeerappel]

At least I'm not alone with this ;)

[Chris M]

thanks! how can I do it that this is the default value for ALL users?
I would imagine you would edit the templates to allow only that option...

What templates or what to edit I haven't got a clue:D

Satan

[Schorsch]

hmm here at vbulletin.com it's the default value for all users

[dapence]

I've never seen an upgrade of this magnitude operate as simple, smooth, and flawlessly as this. Great job fellas!!! Once we put it on the active site, these new feature are really going to make the members of my site extremely happy. :)

[Chris M]

They probably edited the templates;)

[Wayne Luke]

It provides an easier to spider index for search engines.

No, I didn't upgrade yet. I was just asking. Thanx:).

Hmmm...it messed up at setp 12/13 where is tried to upgrade the attachments table. It said that an error has occured and that an email was dispatched.

Now, I try to run the upgrade script and get the following error:

"When the script is complete, it will tell you to delete some files, and then redirect you to the Admin Control Panel. You should log in to this and proceed to the Import and Maintenance section of the control panel, where you should run the Rebuild Search Index and Rebuild Statistics controls. Both of these functions will take a quite a long time to run on larger boards."


where is that found? I cant find anything of that.

[gabbs]

Yeah, use SSH as outlined in the Manual under Moving Servers.

Well figured out a way...

mysqldump --user=<username> password=<password> --opt <database> | mysql --user=<username2> --password=<username2> -C <database2>

Using compression, locking the tables and temporarily closing the board down seems to have done the trick! :)

or just import it to vb2 and upgrade to 3 :)

[sebastian406]

I really like the features, but the admin and install skin are just appalling. I read that the current template is still in the works. I greatly hope that this won't be the default template. Well, actually, it won't be bad, since i use my own skin, but it's still really ugly. :rolleyes:

[Martin64]

Great job, vBulletin team! Good decision on extending the member's area access, that's what I call good service. I'll give the beta a try sometime next week, and possibly upgrade my public board as well (though I hate loosing all hacks and custom mods). We're up for an exciting time ahead. :)

[tw3ak3r]

First off, I would like to say thanks to the VB Krew for all of their hard work!

I have a quick question though, we installed 3.0.0 and are having problems promoting members to admins. For some reason, they cannot access the full cp but their title says admin. Any ideas?

Wenn first installing, you are supposed to copy config.php.new and paste it as config.php, then edit it. The file is located in the includes folder. ;)

Come on guys, post your problems in the correct place. This thread is for discussing vb3 not the problems you are having.

[DVD Plaza]

A special thanks also goes out to whoever came up with the idea of license adjustments.
I'm curious about the significance of 31st March 2003. My license expired a mere two days prior to that because I gave up faith in the currently sold product (VB2) being updated and VB3 seeing light of day this year (not to mention the insanely short expirey notice which doesn't fit into my accounting window).

[Stryker]

tw3ak3r, there's a section in config.php which allows you to grant users access to the admin CP - you just need to enter their user ID number (not username).

I'm about to upgrade now. Can't wait to see what's new. Thanks guys, especially for the license extension. I renewed mine a couple of days ago anyway, but even so this is a very welcome surprise. Finally, a company that cares about maintaining good customer relations! :eek:

The option in vBulletin Options - Admin Control Panel Options can change the style to the same one used in vB2. :)

:( can't backup ma database... over 700megs big.. fails on the attachments table when I try to import :(... anybody got any other ideas on backing up an mysql database? :)

or is there a way I can clear out the old attachments?
I had this problem as well. It seems it was a single zip attachment that was causing the problem, and the only solution I could find was to look at the line number which was failing when I tired to import my mysql dump and then open the backkup.sql file manually in edit plus, go to the trouble line, and delete it. Then it imported fine.

kewl, havent noticed that :cool:

a few things after upgrading

will there be a button SDK? if so when could we expect that?

I realy like the Group permissions, it got almost all the features I would like. It would be nice if it was possible to grant users of a specific group permission to post larger attachments than the rest of the users.

The converted styles ait of much use IMO, would be better just to reset it all, although mine wasn't that complicated, but the mix of the different styles was quite annoying

I thought there was going to be a way to make it so people could not select "invisible mode" in their user CP? Or am I missing something...

It's there in the usergroup options.

Is it an owned or leased licence?

To upgrade download 2.3.0 and then upload all of the 2.3.0 to your server overwriting the existing ones using ASCII.

Then run all upgradexx.php scripts upto and including upgrade23.php

Don't forget to back up the database first then close the board.

You do realise that this is a beta version, not a stable release.

It has been released to iron out any bugs.

Or do you not have any concept of software development?

Sorry to sound so abrupt.

It would be nice... or nightly snapshot released to the members area would be a helpful addition.

[Marc Smith]

I'll echo that. I have watched folks BEG for release and now there is a beta. I've been playing with it on my Mac as localhost going through all the moves. I'm having a problem in indexing posts (the main upgrade went flawlessly) which is significant to me, but it's beta so I'm not complaining. AViO 07, you got what you wanted. Play with it on a testbed (I'm using my Mac Powerbook) and get used to it. Two weeks to a month from now it will probably be ready for your real forums.

For me - it's on my testbed until I can do everything smoothly here. Until then, I am SO impressed with the improvements and additions that I'm almost in shock. A lot more complicated, but one has so much more control. It's like going from a Cessna 150 to a Lear (well, maybe a Beech King).

I'm sucking eggs troubleshooting on my Mac because I see all the new features. I can't wait for my forums users to experience changes to their end. But it will be a while.

Until then: Take a Valium, smoke a joint, have a drink, pet your cat - do something to cool out. This is the foreplay which isn't always perfect. The climax will be out soon.

As a last thought, make sure you backtrack through any and all hacks you have installed, including database alterations.

As for Jelsoft "providing a product" to you, I'd have to say they have done a pretty great job so far. I have no complaints at all with this product. We all should be thankful that they actually care about what they are doing. I know we pay them for what they do, but if you have ever paid a company for a product and not received what you expected, you would understand what I am saying.

I was just trying to be helpful in my post, above.

I just got vB3 beta running on one of my sites... verrry nice. I'm especially pleased with the built-in 'karma' and rank image features. They were two things I wanted to add to my live boards, but never got around to it ;)

The password-protected forum is also a good idea, though it's not as maintenance-free as the current system I use, where access to threads is granted upon 30 posts. I'm going to check if it's possible to automatically send PMs to people when they reach this amount of posts so that they could get the password that way (hell, I've found plenty of nice surprises so far).

I'm getting frequent DB errors; but I noticed a thread about this which I'll check out before blaming my webhost. It runs well enough on my localhost, bar the spyware thingy in the AdminCP insisting on an internet connection >_< Also, the WYSIWYG posting interface looks different...? The one running here is infinitely sexier.

All in all, great work Lads (and Ladies).

In the upgrade script, step # 42, you have three instances of "Salting password for administrator".....is that a spelling error?

Well, I swore I wouldn't go to 3.0 because it looked a lot more complicated for my mostly computer-illiterate end users, even though it was easier on the mods and admins.

But after playing with the beta for a couple of days, I just wanted to say Bravo to the entire team. Y'all have outdone yourselves. And extending my license for 3 months is just icing on the cake.

Worth every penny. Now, get to bug-squashing, and I'll see you back here at "gold". :)

Drumsy, Tachy Goes to Coventry places a user on everyone's ignore list, so no one sees their posts, but they don't know it.

It's nice to have the beta version out!

That there will be significant template changes between the beta version and the release candidate brings up a question: during what time period will developers incorporate user comments about templates? If there are going to be major changes to the templates between the beta and release candidate, then it does not seem worthwhile for users to make detailed comments about the templates, since the comments may be meaningless if the templates are going to significantly change. But if the templates are only stable at the release candidate, and (presumably) you don't want to make many changes between the release candidate and the gold version, then user comments about the templates aren't going to be incorporated between the release candidate and the gold version, either.

Also, will styles follow the same path that tempates will, i.e., vBulletin users should expect significant style changes between the beta version and the release candidate version?

[HappyPike]

A few questions...

1) Do you think this version is stable enough to install on very big forums?

One of the vB 3.0 features I look most forward to is removing attachments from the database and put them to a directory instead. My forum's attachment table is nearly 2 gigs last time I check. :(

2) About how long do you think upgrade would take for a forum with 30,000 members and 1 million posts?

Thanks. :)

Well I suppose they will get used to it aventually. I asked my Staff to register so that they can get used to the transition, and they all seem to be getting into it.

What puzzles me slightly is that a few of my regular members have registered too, and the general feeling is that "this is r0xx0r". There isn't anything drastically different about the layout; it's very much vBulletin, albeit with some extras (I wonder how long it will take other boards to ape it :p ). The most significant changes seem to be in the AdminCP.

My members are used to my boards changing shape like a sand dune anyway, so I'll build the new style for the gold release offline and scare the bejeezus out of 'em :D

Many big forums have upgraded to this vB3 beta so I could only imagine it is. But with a beta, there is always the risks. To be safer, a RC would be alot more stable and less risky to install on such a large forum. But so far, vB3 seems to be in working order on big forums, which only makes me think it is...

Actually the styles are not carried over to vb3.0, vb3's template system is different, it has more templates and different ones also, so you cannot use the vb2.x templates on vb3, unless you recode it and then use it.

[Stryker]

The colours and other basic settings are imported automatically but anything more complicated like header and footer modifications and other template changes aren't translated. It works very well for people who have only experimented with minor customisation and gives everyone else a useful starting point for rebuilding their layouts. Anything not converted is stored separately for reference purposes so you know exactly where you're up to. I thought that was carried off very well by Jelsoft.

I'm referring to the colors, etc, not necessarily the templates.

[nferreri]

From what I've been reading the templates still have some things hardcoded in them and it's going to be a couple releases before they're where they need to be. Is this true?

I'm worried about spending countless hours migrating my old template into the new system and it getting drastically changed again so I'll have to redo it. Is this something I should be worried about or are there going to be minor fixes that can be updated?

Hi All

Thanx Development Team :)

I tried both senarios:
1) Install fresh copy on my localhost as well as on my site.
2) Tried to upgrade a copy of my forum on my localhost.

Installation worked for both, with no problems

The only problem (which is making me crazy) is that I couldn't login to the board or the admincp

I don't know why, It worked well on my localhost, although it sometimes do the same (not logging in)
It tells that I am IN but when it came back to the main page, I am not IN :(

any solution?!!

I already wrote a different cookies path while installing, so there should not be a conflict right?!!


anybody faced the same thing?!!

...
The entire installation process should take no more than five minutes.


Some feedback: I think five minutes is way too optimistic. You might want to change this documentation. I have spent 15 minutes and I'm still not done. This is not a complaint that it takes too long, just a note that it's a lot longer than 5 minutes. It takes time to get into the vbulletin members area, download the new version, install it on the local hard drive, understand where to go to change config.php, understand the fields in there (some of which are new), create a new database on the server, upload the upload directory onto the server, run the install script, and rename directories, and that's not even accounting for the inevitable snafus that will arise. For example when I moved the files from my hard drive onto the server, I noticed that the server's time zone is two hours behind mine, so I decided to wait two hours before running the install script, so as to avoid possibly confusing the install script with dates that are in the future. I'd say replacing "five minutes" with "half an hour" would be much more realistic. Some people will do it in less than half an hour, but it is totally reasonable that many people will take half an hour (or more), so saying that it "should" take less than five minutes is just not realistic in my opinion.

For the first scenario, the installation process put me in an infinite loop: everytime I press the "Next Step (3/13)" button it takes me back to step 1. :( (EDIT: never mind. I upgraded my computer's php version and now it works. :))

For the second scenario, I managed to upgrade it successfully but couldn't log in... same problem as you! :mad:

Help!

I've extracted the files, and the rightmost 6 bits of the permissions are all 0 (for example the directories are 700). This causes problems when I try to access the files at the web site. So right now I dont' have vBulletin 3.0 running. I really don't want to try and guess what the permission of each file in the vBulletin distribution should be.

The machine that I downloaded to (not the server) is running Cygwin (under Windows XP). The file that I downloaded from the members area of the vBulletin site was a Zip file. There didn't seem to be any way to get anything other than a Zip file. Does the members area of the vBulletin site give different files depending on what kind of OS it thinks the download is going to? I wonder if (a) the permissions were tested in a Cygwin or Windows environment, and (b) if I had a way to download a tar file instead of a ZIP file, if things would work fine.

[Marc Smith]

They are carried over into 3.0.0! :)

Sorta. Not entirely, at least with my style. But it has been pointed out that the template system and such has changed and that it will *significantly* change between now and the final release. In my changeover there were a number of instances where I have had to 'tailor' things in the admincp. For example, several color conflicts existed (such as the post number link) that I had to change because it was like blue background/blue link text so you couldn't read the text.

I'm still on my testbed, so much is yet to be done. Bottom line is everything is not 1 to 1 translated.

Please start your own thread for troubleshooting issues. You can even look at the Bugs forums to see if this issue has already been reported.

Quick reply add-on sucks so far.

It's ment to type and hit send (or alt-s). Now ya got to hit some icon image between edit and reply.

guess they will make a hack to undo the goof or rename it to "almost quick reply".

Ill have to investagate some more. So far 2.3.0 is the better of the 2 builds.

You can disable that requirement in the admincp options.

As it has been said many times before, you can disable the click before the quick reply, but it'll basicly defeat the purpose of threaded and hybrid mode...

From The Admin CP:
Require Click for Quick Reply

If you set this option to 'no', users will not have to click the Quick Reply icon in order to type a message in the quick reply box.

However, this will be at the expense of the usefulness of the Threaded and Hybrid view modes, as the system will not know to which post a user is replying, so the threaded view will become non-sensical.

Set this option to 'no' at your own discretion.

cool, its like going from windows 3.11 to winXP ..... 100's of areas in admin to get lost in.

It may have been said, but I visit this site when i get e-mails of new ver to use or support issues.

IE: 13 posts.

When is the official release due? Is it worth it to use this beta?

I may wait until the official release but if it's gonna be another year I'll take my chances on the beta.

[Surrix]

Just a quick question. Does anyone know what is going to happen next. Does it look like there needs to be a beta 4 or are we going to go to RC?

[Cary]

There will be a Beta 4.

[TripleH]

When is the Beta 4 expected?

[TonyG]

I'm sure they'll alert us with an Announcement when Beta 4 is near, or hope so. ;)

[Kevorkian]

i hope this announcement is near :P

Really nice upgrade guys. The script was awesome to say the least. I found beta 3 very stable, most bugs were in the adminCP and many now have posted fixes available. One question? I am on a shared server and I found version 3 to be a tad slower that 2.0.3, I assume this is mainly because of the vb2 templates being used, will the new templates speed page loads a bit more??
