Subject: 5 Installation To install, download autosetup.php from the customer downloads area, place it on your server and visit it in your web browser. Upgrades To be on the safe side, you may want to test your upgrade to see how it goes before committing your busy live website to it. To do this, clone your site and upgrade the clone: 1) In your 5.0 production copy, go to Admin Panel -> Miscellaneous -> Clone Utility. Follow instructions on-screen. 2) In your clone, click the upgrade to 5.1 prompt which appears when you're on the latest 5.0 release. Please do this -- it will allow me to make things work right for you before you go live. Clone upgrades of actual fully-customized websites should reveal a lot more of the bugs than just playing with a standard new setup. Note that testing clones won't count against your license total. Upgrade note: after upgrading you'll have to re-create any per-category sponsorships you want through the new interface at Admin -> Settings -> Sponsorship -> Add level. Template Changes There are many template changes. That doesn't mean you'll have to use them. If you keep all the old templates without applying changes: - you'll lack some of the new features - the style designer won't work with 5.0-based stylesheets (can still edit styles manually) - you won't be able to rate comments up and down (not sure if there's a way to autofix, but i could autohide?) Please let me know if anything in 5.0 templates doesn't work. I'm trying to enable old templates to work insofar as is possible. Final

WOW! Looking forward to trying this out. Just tried to upgrade a site. Made a clone but got error messages (.txt file attached). I'm not bothered about the clone as I'm trying it out on a site that is not really active, and besides which I am fully backed up So I went straight on to upgrade, but got the following errors:
I'll try again later. |

This is a consistent error? Maybe there's something about your customer account different from mine which is preventing downloading the new series. I'll try creating another customer account to test. Update: no problems with another account either. Edited by Paul on 07/07/09 - 1:30 PM |

hmm, dunno why I can't upgrade then - I'm still getting that error. I'll try doing a manual upgrade. You know me, if it's gonna go wrong it goes wrong with me In the meantime I installed a new copy on an unused domain. I like the new Guided Start, but it would be nice to have the choice of guided start or jump right in. Going through the guided start, after submitting Details & Settings I got the error "Error: The file ../templates/admin/.tpl does not exist." Having said that it still accepted the changes made.
(edit) Just submitting new link, click change to WYSIWYG and get the error message " You must select a category before submitting." (EDIT) OK, upgrade worked now, but it said it wasn't able to run upgrade.php, so I ran that and got the message "No schemas/templateschema.wsn.dist is available. Apparently you were already on this version so there are no template updates to check for. Upgrade complete." Whilst not totally sure I guess it has updated templates as looking via ftp some files are showing they've now been updated, but many haven't. Edited by babrees on 07/08/09 - 2:02 AM |

Got the following error when trying to edit a link that has a table in it. I am using the default templates.
If you are not the administrator of this site, please report this page to the administrator. If you are the administrator, please pay careful attention: You have a parse error in your template templates/default/edit.tpl (or perhaps in your header or footer) which you need to repair before this page can be displayed correctly. The error is picked up on by php at line 483 of the output.Line #478: </td> onunload="if(typeof(GUnload) == 'function'){GUnload();}"> |

You can exit the guided start with the exit button. Maybe some other place for it would be more obvious? Fixed redirect on guided settings submission. (edit) Just submitting new link, click change to WYSIWYG and get the error message " You must select a category before submitting." Will check this in the morning. |

I'm not able to reproduce any incomplete messages on switching editors on the submit link page. No troubles on editing a comment with a table in it. Do you have the same results on both links and comments? (Pain to try to reproduce links because that editor doesn't have the table option normally.) |

Sorry, been a bit busy so haven't been looking at the beta. Am setting it up at http://www.idealweddingplanner.co.uk. Using the default displaylinks.tpl At the top of the page, before the doctype, it gives... <p>Couldn't find <!-- BEGIN TOPLIST 1 --> and <!-- END TOPLIST 1 --> in template!</p> The only toplist there is in the wrapper, producing the menu.
In version 5.1, is there a better way of producing a menu such as I have on this site, ie a list of categories in the wrapper?

I would love to test this with my wedding site, but the clone util is not working, I just get a blank page, probably because of the huge size of my attachments directory. |

babrees - Toplist #1 is reserved for the main index toplist. That shouldn't affect displaylinks, but have you tried with another number or numberless? Or, show me the toplist code. jayweb - You have a postal database loaded, not just using the web service fallback? |

This is the same problem that jayweb is having when he says "I get the following error on all but the index page.. Couldn't find and in template!" |

Ok, so here is the problem... I use the folowing unique toplist in my wrapper as naigation. I obviously have a custom category field called onmainmenu
When the above topist is used in the wrapper, all but the home page give the following error. (Taken from the source code) <p>Couldn't find <!-- BEGIN TOPLIST 4 --> and <!-- END TOPLIST 4 --> in template!</p> |

Having used the new 5.1 toplist generator today, I have dscovered a bug... If I put... onmainmenu="1" in advanced option, it does not produce this in the top list properly. I get... <CONFIG>categories[,]id[,]5[,]ascending[,]onmainmenu=[,][,]0[,]0[,]0[,]0[,][,]0[,]0[,][,]0[,]0</CONFIG> as you can see.. onmainmenu="1" has become onmainmenu= |
