Let the modding at vb.org commence!

[Zajako]

[Snowy]

wo wow wow

nice going chaps :)

[Koutaru]

YAYYYYYYYyyyyyyyyy thank you devs..

Now I just have to renew :p

[Mirical Bernd]

I can't believe I am doing that - 2 am in the morning here in Germany, and updating our testforum - I must be nuts :D

Thanks for making this release available before the due date :)

[KarateKid[WBC]]

Germany is watching you :D ;)

Nice Job guys!

[recumbent615]

:) I will upgrade my test board tomorrow... It's nice to see forward progress.

Kevin

[poolking]

I would normally start upgrading straight away after download, but this time I am going to wait until later so I have a clear head and I'm not so tired.

[Vigile]

Let the modding at vb.org commence!

Finally!

[Mirical Bernd]

ok running now on RC 1... Upgrade ran smoothly. I needed to redo the stylesheets for the image-paths - as this bug has been fixed now and my workaround didn't work any longer ;)

it runs without problems, I haven't reverted templates so far and haven't encountered any problems. Even the translation we made runs smoothly. Great work of the devs :)

More tomorrow ;)

Kier get on irc! We want to thank you!

[sabret00the]

[asedah]

Kier, if I was a woman, I would have your baby. Now I have something to play with this weekend.

[akex054]

Great job guys :)

[Merjawy]

oh oh.. wait.. just kiddin ;)

I just wanna say thank you

[MindTrix]

Nice work guys you rule !!!

Note: Dont rush vB.org because the admins were not aware of the release and therefor arent ready :)

Give it a couple of hours i would say :)

[nwingate]

so, what will this do to my vB Beta 7 templates I've made?
Will it upgrade them or will I have to start over?

thx

[Wayne Luke]

Beta 7 templates are not supported by Gamma or higher.

[Iceball]

I thought I dream when I saw it in members area :eek:
Beatiful, very good job guys!

[daemon]

*sweet*

*drool*

Now, time to hack.. *pulls on gloves*

:D

Great job :)

[Thomas P]

Great, looks really good! :)

[Electronic Punk]

Great stuff :)

[DeeperImage]

www.240sxforums.com/forums/ (http://www.240sxforums.com/forums/) upgraded to RC1 . Yay.. Thank you VB team.

[dsotmoon]

Thank you VB team.

yes, thank you, great job and very appreciated

[trackpads]

Upgraded Flawlessly!! Nice work!

http://www.trackpads.com/forum

[Ogden2k]

Awesome! Good job Dev's. I'd like to thank you for listening to my suggestions!!

[Sephiroth189]

Great Job *upgrading now* Can't wait to finally start hacking lol ^^

[Symen_4ab]

Upgrade done here, too, everything went perfectly !
Great work vb team !

[himerus]

Upgraded at http://forums.myispfinder.org/

vB is great! thanks for all your hard work devs.

[Triple A]

If I've customized my templates on Gamma and I do this upgrade, it won't overwrite my templates right?

I'm a vB newbie. :'(

[Koutaru]

I just renewed but download link still not showing up. I guess no one else is here at 3am in the morning eh?

[Bad Bunny]

It won't overwrite your customised templates, but as stated, some templates are changed. It is recommended that you use the find updated templates feature and revert those so that you will get the template bug fixes installed.

[MrNase]

Why is rc1 released?Thought it'll be on monday ;)

Great work guys, i'll head over to vb.org. Let's see if stefan already allowed posting hacks ;)

[mzlogical]

thanks guys, you all had me fooled thinking it was monday lol.

[Gozita]

Wow. RC-1 This should be nice.

[flamingpeach]

We just upgraded CastleWee Forums (http://castlewee.com/forum) flawlessy.

Thanks :D

[Matthew]

I've upgraded but the last post column on the main page still looks weird.

[shorty]

Aww nuts.. Ive only had gamma live for a week.. here we go :D

[Thomas2485]

Great work, guys!

[TouchingVirus]

LOL @ Kier...we did think we had to wait until Monday (or by the reading of other posts elsewhere, perhaps longer :rolleyes:) Oh well, all faith is restored in vBulletin's Dev teams estimated release date....so whens Gold coming out :P

[Streicher]

No Problems with the Upgrade of my Testforum from Gamma to RC1. Takes only 5 minutes, but i will wait for the final release to upgrade the real forum.

[matius4]

I will be waiting for the final release but I have to say I am really impressed with this release. I don't really like the fact the "remember me" box is checked though because I know a lot of my memebers will forget to uncheck this and it won't be very good for security in my opinion. Is there any way that something on the Admin CP could be changed so that the admin could set whether this was ticked or not, because then for the people who liked it checked could also have it their way :D

Apart from that though I think this is amazing and cannot wait to use it myself :)

Well Done

[John Round]

Well it seems a hell of a lot faster on my server than Gamma was ;)

[FASherman]

Finally!
Finally? It was delivered 3 days ahead of schedule. :rolleyes:

[Gio Takahashi]

Good job with the RC1, I am now upgrading the forums.

[Gio Takahashi]

Wow the upgrade went without a problem! good job!

[cerebro]

ok...let do it!...upgrate to RC1 :D :D

[jeskel]

YEAH! just came back from holidays and what a nice surprise! An early RC1 waiting for us here. I guess that vb.org will be the place to watch from now on ;)

thumbs up for the early deadline.

Cheers

[Dart1337]

Ok, WHAT happened here? :sobs:

Step 3) Creating Tables

Creating access Table

There seems to have been a slight problem with the database. Please try again by pressing the refresh (http://java_script_:window.location=window.location;/) button in your browser.

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

We apologise for any inconvenience.
Here is the e-mail it sent:
Database error in vBulletin :
Invalid SQL:

[StevenTN]

Smooth update guys on my test site... great job.

[DarkDelight.net]

HA! Take that Mr DDOSer!

Ya' can't hold us down.

vB will prevail.

Roll on vB 3.0.0 Gold!

[mzlogical]

Ok, WHAT happened here? :sobs:


[/indent]
[/list]Here is the e-mail it sent:
Then I refreshed and got this:



are you running the update.php or a fresh install?

I'm asking because i see this in your error

mysql error: Table 'access' already exists

[Gozita]

Just finish installing and everything went through alright.

[sabret00the]

where can i find a list of what files have been changed?

[Dart1337]

It was a fresh install. It was a problem with my host going down as I was updating then being rebooted. I hit refresh and it tried to recreate it and it was already there from the first partial install. Not a problem with vb at all. It went nice and smooth once I figured out what happened. I reuploaded my database and I'm ready to rock'n roll!

[XYPHEN]

Nice work ****, this was your biggest achivement so far ;) lol

[Pricyber]

Well, I am glad I held off on upgrading to gamma.

Any ways, does vB3 have a feature where we can give a moderator access to the administrative control panel to help with modifying the style and template but not give them full administrative rights? Basically, I don't want them making themselves full administrators or anyone else for that matter.

[Steve Machol]

Dart1337 and everyone else - please start a new thread for any specific problems you are having. This is not a trouble-shoopting thread.

You can assign Admins various levels of access and permissions in the Admin CP.

[yetdog111]

www.antsmarching.org/forum (http://www.antsmarching.org/forum) running RC1 - upgraded from Gamma.

Hell of a time converting all the site features to work w/ the new password hash of vB3, when originally the site used the vB2 system. :)

[TheSonic]

Wow ! Updated my two Boards from Gamma to RC1 without any Problems...
All works fine and user continue to scream "vb3 rocks" (i do so also!)

Thanks, devs.

I think, after hacking is now "allowed" on vBulletin.org, vb3 will rule the Community-World (again).

[Elyk]

Fast, quick, simple,, well done!!

OT to Trackpads: Checked out your site (to see RC1 in action), and although I have no interest in the topic, am in awe of your style and layout. It's a really fantastic looking site.

back on topic - glad to see RC1 out, thanks Kier, but also thanks for the instructions in your announcement for upgrading. I never remember how to do it so those few lines of instructions help.

[Paul_M]

Upgraded from Gamma to RC1 at http://www.mini2.com/forum/ no problems at all.

Also upgraded my own little hacks and mods, all groovy.

It seems as I have upgraded, the Quick Style Chooser in the lower left doesnt work in Mozilla (havent tried in IE). I select a style and it doesnt change.

[recumbent615]

Mixx Just took a look at your site with IE and was able to switch just fine..

[mixx941]

Thanks Kevin, but it worked in 3.0.0 Gamma in Mozilla Firebird...:rolleyes:.

One other thing, when I refresh my forum index, it would usually auto-scroll back to the top. It doesnt do that anymore.

-Mark

[bored]

Excellent. No problems with install.

[trafix]

uploading the files now .... i hope there is no issues ;)

then back to coding the vb trader :)

[mixx941]

Well now my DHTML dropdowns arent working, so I cant manage threads. My IE is infested beyond repair with spyware and popups caused by spyware, and I love Mozilla Firebird. Everything worked fine with 3.0.0 Gamma....

Please Help!!!

-Mark

[Chris Blount]

Do I need to upload the images directory? I did the upgrade from Gamma and everything seems to be okay so far without the images that came in the Zip file.

[BigJohnson]

Is it me or is there no ADMINCP folder in the actuallyrc1 download zip file?

I think clienty script isnt there either.

Whats up wit dat?

[mixx941]

I made that mistake Chris.....I had custom logos for the vBulletin Classic and Grey themes and I overwrote them (and I dont have a copy of them on my hdd).

Any word on my problem anyone? It works fine in IE but I cannot use IE.

-Mark

[BigJohnson]

nvm some wierd prob with the dl then. I guess it didnt dl it all but thats weird.

[Lexserv]

www.alldeaf.com (http://www.alldeaf.com/) <-- Upgraded and now works like a charm. And I know it'll get even better. Thanks to the fine folks at vB, I'm a happy man. :)

Going by what you posted though, yes they have changed or they wouldn't say RELEASE CANDITATE 1 as their version.

[good2laugh]

Ditto. very smooth and quick upgrade. A little disapointed the archive feature doesn't work on my server (presume it's my server) and it's a shame that there is no workaround for sites affected. Don't understand the techy stuff enough to know even if a workabround is somehow possible or if those sites could have a similar thing coded for them in for future releases would be good if they could but never mind such is life, otherwise this is all looking good. Thnx.

[Archaic]

Had a few problems with my install, but they were all of the...er...."human error" variety. ^^;; Otherwise, it's all been very smooth. I can't wait to start hacking. ^^;

Download Ad-aware from www.lavasoft.de (http://www.lavasoft.de) or google for Spybot - both of which remove spyware from your machine, in the same way virus scanners work. Ad-aware is free to run in scan only mode - if you byu the full version it will actively protect spyware being installed in the first place.

vBulletin is described as a "forums package" on the vBulletin home page (http://www.vbulletin.com/), and this area is called the "vBulletin Community Forum (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/index.php?)." However, throughout the FAQ (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/faq.php?) and User CP (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/profile.php?do=editoptions), there are many references to "board" and "bulletin board." This conflicting terminology may be confusing to some users (especially newbies).

Aren't "forums" and "bulletin boards" basically the same thing? I think it would be less confusing if the terminology was consistent throughout vBulletin. (I'm assuming the usage of "bulletin board" in the FAQ and User CP is a legacy from an earlier incarnation of vBulletin.)

A few examples from the User CP ("edit options" section):
- Invisible mode allows you to browse the forums ...
- ... administrators of this bulletin board may want to send you email ...
- This bulletin board features a private messaging system (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/private.php?) ...
- If you are browsing the board when you receive a new private message ...
- All timestamps displayed on the board ...

A few examples from the FAQ:
- Does this board use cookies? (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/faq.php?faq=vb_user_maintain#faq_vb_use_cookies)
- Can I search the board? (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/faq.php?faq=vb_board_usage#faq_vb_board_search)
- Can I send email to other members of this board? (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/faq.php?faq=vb_board_usage#faq_vb_email_member)

I'm looking forward to the release of 3.0 Gold so I can finally dump the old Matt's Bulletin Board script from my website and replace it with the vBulletin forums package. I've been patiently waiting and the money's burning a whole in my pocket. :D

I see that this time we're told to edit the new config.php.new with our old config.php info - does that mean the file has changed and we have to update it, or can we just delete .new and keep our current config.php file?

So this is why I got threw out when I went to download it. Any ideas when we will be able to download again?

for now i am very happy on vb 2 full hacked :p and vb3 only test

This bug is not present in any version prior to vB3 RC1.

I upgraded and my admin cp only fscking works in fscking Internet explorer.

after installing the security fix, only passwords of RC1 registered Users have to be reset.

On my board pre RC1 registered Users can login using their old password...

Thanks to the vBulletin team for the quick fix - i've suggested this bug only 3 hour's before the fix becomes available!

[kermie]

:confused: I just installed the security fix, and now if I close the browser I'm logged out of the forums. That's pretty frustrating...

[Schorsch]

:confused: I just installed the security fix, and now if I close the browser I'm logged out of the forums. That's pretty frustrating...
same problem here!!!!

how to fix??

[Stadler]

1. In both files remove <?#shebang#?> or replace it with your shebang, if necessary.
2. In login.php replace all occurrences of [#]license[#] with your license number. You can either find it in one of your other files or in the members area under License # / URL

[XYPHEN]

Any clue when the downloading will resume?!

[TripleH]

My guess is it might be tonight at some point.. They have been working on clearing the bugs in the bug tracker.. There are only 3 unconformed left and 0 confirmed... I am guessing it might be RC2 that is released.. But I could be very wrong.. lols

[<jay>]

It's back in the members area.
Great. =)

[Erwin]

Time to upgrade then... :)

[cerebro]

Re upgrate whith new RC1...works fine.

Great Job Guys!


VB allways the best!

[blockcipher]

Great work, downloading now!

I notice that the quick reply portion loads faster now! Good work vbulletin team! :cool:

[Koutaru]

*gasp* RC2 tomorrow! Can't wait!

[d3nnis]

*gasp* RC2 tomorrow!


RC-2??

[telc]

If I am on 2.3.2 should I goto 2.3.3 before going to 3.0? Will it matter, is the 2.3.3 -> 3.0 upgrade more tested?

[kreftt]

its not important if youre on 2.3.2 or 2.3.3
i was on 2.3.2 and it worked.

but be nice to yourself and wait for rc2, cause upgrading is a pain in the ass...

[jluerken]

I see RC2 already online here but no announcement about it. :(

[d3nnis]

where u saw it? Member section??

[wcbryant]

I went from 2.3.0 > RC1 and had no problems whatsoever. In fact, I found it relatively quick, and very easy (and I'm more or less tech-incompetant). Just make sure you check your db for conflicts first.

RC2 is what this board is showing top right at present. I think that's what he meant.

[jluerken]

where u saw it? Member section??

Check the topic of this board :D

vBulletin 3.0.0 Release Candidate 2
www2.vbulletin.com

[Bulent Tekcan]

Where is RC2 ? This board RC2 but member area is RC1 ???

[Kerry-Anne]

RC2 is not publicably available yet. Should be sometime today though I believe

[<jay>]

Hm, think I'll better wait untill the RC2 is released.
Wouldn't be so funny to install every hack again.
Should be released today, so, just gotta wait a couple more h's.

[SaintDog]

Just curious, is there a problem with vBulletin 3.0 and the newest version of Zend? It seems that before Zend was installed on our new server vBulletin 3.0 was working fine, but now that Zend is installed it spits out errors and neither the community or the admin cp are accessable.

Errors like:

Parse error: parse error in /home/*****/public_html/commune/admincp/index.php on line 107

and

Parse error: parse error in /home/*****/public_html/commune/index.php on line 130

[jluerken]

Where is RC2 ? This board RC2 but member area is RC1 ???

Problems with reading?

Take a look on the top of this board and you will see that here RC2 is already running. I think (hope) if Jelsoft has it installed here they will also release it to the member area within short. :)

[FWF]

i cant wait to give this a test run :)

[XYPHEN]

I will update when RC2 is available for download :P

[Kerry-Anne]

great stuff. I'm checking the members area every 15 mins at the moment as I am so eager to get my hands on it.

[deathemperor]

Kier said RC2 will be released, see it tomorrow fellows

[random_X]

Until Now nothing there !!!

[Driv3r]

Just fixed mine.

[hanigad]

Are we going to from RC1 to RC7 and from Gold1 to Gold7?????

[Slamdog]

well, i just upgraded to gamma, then just finished adding in the template customisations when the nice jelsoft peeps release rc1. so i upgrade again...


now i have the fun with rc2 coming out today... It is a conspiracy isnt it, not to let me sleep.

[Tungsten]

Are we going to from RC1 to RC7 and from Gold1 to Gold7?????
:rolleyes:

That makes no sense whatsoever.

[<jay>]

RC1 - RC7?
That would suck.

start to drivin' me nuts...

[Electronic Punk]

Curious:

When upgrading from vbulletin 2.0x is any redundent data from the old database tables saved or is everything converted and any excesses removed?

[Kier]

What kind of redundant data?

[Mirical Bernd]

well, i just upgraded to gamma, then just finished adding in the template customisations when the nice jelsoft peeps release rc1. so i upgrade again... now i have the fun with rc2 coming out today... It is a conspiracy isnt it, not to let me sleep.
No one told you to customize your templates before the final version is out, so please stop complaining.

I did customize some templates too. But what's the problem? Get yourself a nice TXT-file and write down every customization and where it should be. The re-customization is then done in about 15 minutes. It is NOT the problem of Jelsoft. It's your own problem. BTW: If you use replacements and custom image-folders, the customization is much more easier to do.

Where is RC2 ? This board RC2 but member area is RC1 ???
Ohhh stop bitching around. :rolleyes: The devs will post RC 2 in the member area as soon as they are done putting the zip-file together. This board was on RC 1 about four hours prior to getting RC 1 in the member area. That's surely just because they need to test the upgrade-scripts on the live-board and maybe need to adapt it again. And maybe they wanted to eat and drink something before putting it online. It soon will be online - that's for sure, Kier posted that.

[StevenTN]

Since I found out about RC2, I was hoping that RC2 would be available before I leave this afternoon (I have to go out of town for a couple of days).

[Electronic Punk]

Well I added a hack to display the last post on forumhome, this involved adding a new table column, its now part of vb3 and will never be used again.

[Mirical Bernd]

Well I added a hack to display the last post on forumhome, this involved adding a new table column, its now part of vb3 and will never be used again.
Sh... happens ;) There are a lot of hacks and template-enhancements out there, which have become obsolete with the new version. I am only happy about that, that makes less hacks to install :D

[Electronic Punk]

Yeah, no doubt about being happy :)
But I was wondering if they kinda stuff was removed when we updated.
(which I am doing now -- eek!)

[Mirical Bernd]

Nope, wouldn't say so. We had a quizz installed - which will hopefully ported - and on a test-conversion the tables of the quizz where still there.

What you can do: Use the vb3_ addition to the names of the tables. And after the upgrade remove all tables, which are not named with it. And there you are with a cleaner install. But backup the database first before doing so :)

[Slamdog]

No one told you to customize your templates before the final version is out, so please stop complaining.


it was tongue in cheek, not a complaint... i spose the lack of ROFL or smilies failed to convey the right emotion.....

Smilies would have helped - that's for sure :)

i knew the mods were at my own risk, and the comments i have had from my members so far have all been positive. The learning curve has not been steep for them and they love the ability to change styles easily.

I am currently being googlebombed by the spiders, so the traffic is up at the moment, but the new 'who is online' is really great. I love the extra info it gives.

well done devs... i cant wait for final....

Yeah, no doubt about being happy :)
But I was wondering if they kinda stuff was removed when we updated.
(which I am doing now -- eek!) I had a hack that added some tables into the DB and when I converted on my test board, they were kept. So, when I go live, I will have to remove the tables from the DB if I don't want them included.
