IPB 2.1.2 & ICB 1.2.1 Released

[Bamfer]

With all these problems I've decided to let IPB handle my upgrade. Just couldn't figure out why it wouldn't let me upgrade. If there are any problems IPB will be able to handle it. ;)

The Blog upgrade on the other hand...what are the main issues with this upgrade?

[.Jack]

My Upgrade went fine but it didn't update any of my template bits to make the new changes... (Even non-modified ones)

I had the same problem until I re-uploaded the install directory, then used the Skin Tools. Then everything was fine.

I'm getting the Calendar problem too. I've just submitted a support ticket.
When I click on Calendar nothing happens. Also the Portal is just a grey screen.

[Logan]

Yep, calendar error same here. I've put in a ticket as well, hopefully it's handled soon as my upgrade didn't complete as the calendar error popped up then too.

I've also lost all of my sub forums when trying to move topics from one sub forum to another

I can select any of my main forum catagories to move the topic to but none of the sub cats show up in the drop down list anymore. :unsure:

And random gallery image on the portal page no longer works :rolleyes:

At this rate, a few more bug fix releases and my once working forums should be totaly trashed :whistle:

This is because I fixed a bug that caused the setting "Show short forum jump list" to not work. Now it's working, you must have it enabled, and that's why subforums aren't showing. ;) It's a setting in the ACP under CPU Optimization (if I remember correctly).

Why is the CODE tag replacing tabs with spaces (4 spaces each)? :blink:

It has always done this. HTML doesn't know what a tab is.

And :o

none of the links in the blog section in my forums 'My Controls' go to where they are supposed to

They all go to the main blog list

do i need to submit a ticket for each issue or will one cover all probs ?

One ticket should do.

[bfarber]

In looking into the calendar issue (yes, on my day off :rolleyes: ), it looks like this issue is actually related to a default upgrade of 2.0.x to 2.1.x. I'll try to explain..

The way the recurring calendar events work changed from 2.0.x to 2.1.x. A lot of tickets were submitted where people had single events recurring weekly, or had yearly events recurring weekly. I just manually corrected them.

For those getting an error on the calendar, do you have any recurring events? If you wish to wait for me to see the ticket, I'll be back in the office tomorrow, but for a temporary fix you can run this query in phpmyadmin and it should resolve the error most likely:

UPDATE ibf_cal_events SET event_recurring='', event_unix_to='0' WHERE event_recurring != ''

Note: running this query will make ALL events not recurring.

When I get into the office tomorrow and get a ticket in my hands where someone is having this error I can look into the cause more fully. Likely, the calendar events just weren't properly converted from 2.0.x to 2.1.x and with the major changes to the calendar in 2.1.2, the script doesn't like those faulty events. :)

This should also fix the error if it shows up on the portal.

And it would explain why only some users are getting the error, while others are not.

thanks :thumbsup:

any idea why my sigma chat settings are missing ?
I just get a drop down box with one option 'Load the chat room in...? In Normal IPB Page'

i have nowhere to edit whos allowed to chat or who can admin :unsure:

The problem is recurring events? I really don't think so because the error is: PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/logan/public_html/forum/sources/action_public/calendar.php on line 1870

or
PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/logan/public_html/forum/sources/action_public/calendar.php on line 1872
or
PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/logan/public_html/forum/sources/action_public/calendar.php on line 1876

If you look around line 1870 - 1876, it really doesn't look like it has to do with recurring events. It worked fine in 2.0.4 > 2.1.1 , the upgrade where this occured was 2.1.1 > 2.1.2

Should I still run the query and this will fix it?

[aad]

I just upgrade, everything seem to work fine, no error during upgrades etc...
But, the admin section shows the 2.1.2 sign, but the board pages show 2.1.1
I rebuild all cache things I could find, any hints or is it fine like this?

(did notice any other changes as well, in customised skins etc..)

When I open calendar.php and go to 1870, this is what I see.

// Recurring event? //----------------------------------------- if ( $r['event_recurring'] > 0 ) { ...//some more code here, no need to post it while( $r_stamp < $r['event_unix_to'] )

	//-----------------------------------------

With the while loop being line 1870. This makes sense, as while loops that don't have a break often cause a max execution time issue (endless loop). Would seem to be recurring events just opening the file from here. Again though, I'm not at the office, and don't have a ticket to look at someone's server who is experiencing this issue. As promised, it's the first thing I'll do tomorrow when I'm back.

Running the query won't cause any ADVERSE effect, other than any recurring events will no longer be recurring. Thinking of it though, you will also want to set the event_unix_to to 0 or it will become a ranged event. :rolleyes: Updating query in my previous post. Use this one:

UPDATE ibf_cal_events SET event_recurring='', event_unix_to='0' WHERE event_recurring != ''

(Note: This will make all recurring events single day events, and the above query is MySQL specific)



@aad, I'd submit a ticket for that. Probably nothing big, but if you would like the version updated submit a ticket and we'll look into it.



@Skunkman, Matt did the Sigma Chat plugin. Submit a ticket and we'll look into it.



Note to everyone, this isn't really a support topic. ;) If you are having issues with an upgrade, the best option is to submit a ticket and be patient while we work through all the tickets. If you find an actual bug, use our bugtracker so we can categorize and organize the bugs to include fixes in future releases. Makes it much easier than trying to sift through various topics to find any issues.

Thanks Brandon, I'll just wait until my ticket is looked at tomorrow as I don't want to worsen the problems I am having.

[aad]

@bfarber
Thanks, its no biggy, but i just wanted to be sure I upgraded alright.

[=Charles]

I think I'm in love with Brandon. What a great employee to have! :thumbsup:

Ok, to those having issues with the calendar, you can submit a ticket and I'll fix it for you, else if you are a "do it yourself" type person and don't wish to wait, here's the fix.

In action_public/calendar.php you can find

{ // No need to check year, as month would then match anyways continue; }

else

and change to

{ // No need to check year, as month would then match anyways $r_stamp = $r['event_unix_to']; }

else

I've fixed your site .Logan btw, and the upgrade should be complete as well.

Issue only affects those who have yearly recurring events.

bfarber,
thanks for dropping in to look at this today, its much appreciated. I suffered from the recurring events being set to weekly instead of annually when I upgraded from 2.0.4 to 2.1.0 Final. I deleted those events and recreated them in a second calendar, leaving community birthdays only in the main community calendar. It was a lot of work even with less than 20 events so I'll pass on the offer of converting them back to none recurring events again! Hopefully things will be sorted in the next few days.

Thank you Brandon!

[bfarber]

You're welcome. I just couldn't stand the thought of leaving any issues with my first release. :blush:

[Lemon Head]

Thanks Brandon! I prefer to have mine done by Support as I seem to be jinxed this weekend!

[bfarber]

Not a problem. :)

I assume that this is an "official" fix that applies to all installations of 2.1.2!!!
Which leads to the question.... how will small "fixes" like this be published to users by IPB?

Cheers and thanks bfarber

I get this error

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: skin_global_9 in /home/jforum/public_html/sources/ipsclass.php on line 1329

[.John.]

You get that error on the Arcade, which has nothing to do with IPB.

Go to their forums, and you'll find the fix.
