When did the uograde this morning, I lost my home Pagel. It is just blank now. What changed fun this theme to cause this problem?  I also lost my image/banner at the top of the form but finally got it working againl
 

I don't know what happened.  When I did the update, the picture at the top of the my page just showed constantly loading, never showed up.  Also, the reply buttons wouldn't work.  I disabled all plugins and etc. and then it started working.  I reenabled them all one at a time and everything still works fine.   But, I have a "Pages" page set for my home page so when somebody type the URL to my site it opens that page.  It was no longer working,.  People were just getting a blank page.  It had my themes header, menu, and etc but no other content.  I had to redo some forwarding to get it to work again.  It all seems to be working OK now but for a while was all messed up.  

If I could delete this post I would.  Taman has apologized and resolved the issues.  I should have held off a bit longer before posting this.  He appears to be a man of his word and this is a great theme.  

Hi,
i have updated this theme to support the latest version now, please be patient as it gets approved.
 
I'm sorry for the late reply i wasnt on a vacation! its just real life gets in the way sometimes. I will try my best to visit here on a daily basis now just like i have always done!
the good thing is ONLY globalTemplate and navBar template is edited in this theme. most of the time you can just ignore the warnings because its not nessesery required to update the theme for each IPS update! those two templates are not always modifed by ips, for example from ips version 4.7.3 until today only globalTemplate was modifed and they only removed the viglink template tag in it. you can check it here https://invisioncommunity.com/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=plugins&do=diff
 
You can also update the theme to support the latest ips versions yourself in a couple minutes, you dont need any coding knowladge 
heres what to do
first check the theme differences here https://invisioncommunity.com/index.php?app=core&module=system&controller=plugins&do=diff ...you will only need to search for globalTemplate and navBar template and see whats new. if you dont find these two templates then ignore the update warnings.
If you see these templates modifed, then you need to apply the changes to your theme here to ACP -> Customizations -> Themes -> Edit HTML and CSS 
 
 

@TAMAN  Could you please give us an update on this?  

No, I'm holding off because of the warnings. I spent the whole weekend last week updating everything only to find myself back to square one a couple of days later. 
I am not amused with IPS right now. 

Just wanted to come back and thank you.  That worked great.  Had to do it a few times to keep things from timing out but much faster than changing them one at a time.  Thanks much.

If you don't know what you're doing, I would highly recommend against trying to "mass run" anything.  
You also don't run anything from PHP.  It's run from within mySQL itself.  Before you do anything, make sure you have a full backup, etc.  
From within mySQL, to generate a list of everything to convert:
SET @DATABASE_NAME = 'YOURDBNAME'; SELECT CONCAT('ALTER TABLE `', table_name, '` ENGINE=InnoDB;') AS sql_statements FROM information_schema.tables AS tb WHERE table_schema = @DATABASE_NAME AND `ENGINE` = 'MyISAM' AND `TABLE_TYPE` = 'BASE TABLE' ORDER BY table_name DESC; It will give you output like:
ALTER TABLE 'something' ENGINE=InnoDB; ALTER TABLE 'blah' ENGINE=InnoDB; ALTER TABLE 'another_name' ENGINE=InnoDB; ALTER TABLE 'sometable' ENGINE=InnoDB; Just copy/paste all of those ALTER TABLE lines in a single copy/paste.  
Again...  make sure you have a backup if you do this.  I take no responsibility if you break your site or for unintended consequences, etc.  (It is a relatively minor change, so it should be fine...  but generally I don't suggest for people to play in the database unless they're very comfortable with what they're doing.

My mistake, I removed the file, but... of course it's only affecting new installations, the people upgrading to the new version will still have it on their system.
Please just delete forum/applications/memberlists/sources/Helpers/Form/Address.php from your filesystem.

Just installed the update.  Still getting the errors.  Do I need to do something else?
A class in an app extends the class \IPS\memberlist\Helpers\Form\FormAbstract for which no file /home/dknelson/public_html/forum/applications/memberlist/sources/Helpers/Form/FormAbstract/FormAbstract.php exists! The method scanner skipped comparing that file to any of its subclasses 156 The class \IPS\memberlist\Helpers\Form\Address extends \IPS\memberlist\Helpers\Form\FormAbstract, but the parent class couldn't be loaded.

The host recommendation is from like the 90’s. It’s not problematic in modern versions of MySQL anymore.  Generally you won’t find any MODERN app not recommend innodb. 

When you convert from one software program to another, it will typically just COPY the data from the old one to the new one.  This is intentional because if the conversion goes wrong or if there are unexpected problems, you would be very upset if your original data was destroyed as part of the process.  
Another option short term if you don't know if it's used is to rename the database to something else.  If nothing breaks, then delete it.  But if something does break, it is typically faster to rename the database back to the original value instead of doing a restore.

This is probably way too simple for most of you but just in case, I decided to post it.  I had been trying to update from 7.4 to 8.0 for several days.  Every time I tried, my home page would open as a blank page.  I could refresh the page and it would come up but no links to anything else would work, just got blank pages.
I found that the default memory limit for PHP 8.0 as installed was 32MB.  Increased it to 128MB as specified by Invision and everything works properly now.   I've seen several other posts with basically the same issue so just thought I would point this out.  

OK...all is well now.  It was indeed the PHP memory that was too low.  I increased it to 128 and everything is working well now.  Sorry to have bothered you with this.

Thank you.   All good now.

Sorry, hate to keep asking but it's been a few days and I still see no update?  Any news?

OK...I had just checked and there were no updates yet.  Thanks, I'll keep checking.

Upgrade went fine this time.  No issues at all.  Thanks for all that you do.  The problem before was that I couldn't get into the ACP after updating the software.  The drop down menu wouldn't open.  I found that I could get into the ACP using a direct link.  At any rate, all seems to be good now.

I don't think I'm using any plugins or add-ons that utilize it.  I've sent a message to my hosting company to see if they do.

I was delaying updating to the latest Invision software but after reading this thread, I ignored the warning and did the update.  Everything seems to be fine.  
Thank you Taman for your responses.

Never mind.  I figured it out.  I had my site setup not allow off site hosted images.

Just a public thanks to Martin A for helping me get my map sorted out.  My import from VBulletin caused some of the features to not work exactly as they should.  Martin went about and beyond to get it right.  I've rarely seen such great support for any software.  Thanks much for your help.  My members love the map.

v1.1.0 have been submitted, and here's a list of what you can expect in that version
Custom fields You're finally able to add your own fields to the markers. These can be all the kinds of fields you're used to in both profiles and in Pages databases. There is a group setting to define the fields that is available for the group There is also a group setting where you choose the fields that's visible in the marker popup. This replaces the global setting where you could select member profile fields. This will also replace the "privacy setting" where you could choose to not show any information in the popup Grid layout in marker listing You can not show your markers in a grid pattern instead of the default list. This is a group setting You can define a "grid card image", similar to forums. This can be from a custom field. If a custom field isn't selected, or the field is empty, the authors cover photo will be used. Fixed bugs Fixed a bug where the marker pin color for member groups wasn't honored. Fixed more bugs with PHP 7.1 Fixed a bug where the marker popup wouldn't open in MacOS Safari. Fixed an issue with the location import task. The location import task could try to import the same members over and over again. Fixed an issue with the .kml/.kmz importer. Markers inside a nested folder with other folders was not imported.
