Software Upgrade (Again...) - RC4

Attention Atul! Reverted templates! I hope to finish up the 'little stuff' (mods) I've made here tonight.

See: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94581

I'm impressed by vbulletin's "continuous improvement" efforts. As professional Quality geeks, we ought to applaud both them AND Marc for visibly demonstrating the credo of our profession.

Good job!

 

[Marc]

Well, the vBulletin people are OK but poor at project management...

We'll keep things improving here - it's evolution...

Hey Atul - something is wrong with the styles. Controls to change the style seem to have disappeared. I checked other forums which have upgraded and they are OK. I'm troubleshooting, but if you see anything let me know.

Can't change style even from 'Edit Optios'.

I checked other forums which have upgraded and they are OK.

Which ones?

Correct.

Which ones?

Several - vB main site, vB Netherlands to name 2.

In the vB options --> Styles Etc it's set to yes, but it's acting as if it was OFF.

I noticed 2 things do not show in the 'options' page (at the bottom).

See attached. The first is what I see here. the second is what we should be seeing.

I'm leaving things here as is for now. i reverted the forum here on my Mac and went back before the upgrade and found it also has the problem. I'm uploading a backup from the 13th right now (it takes about 30 minutes for my Mac to suck up the database) and have backups from the 10th and the 11th here to look at. I've made a lot of phrase changes lately and I'm wondering if that's the issue.

I'm assuming you can't change styles or languages either.

Karma Points Graphics

Something else I noticed a while ago. For some reason it seemed to 'fix its self' a day or so ago but "It's back-k-k-k!"

The karma points are spaced (attachment 1). They chould be side by side (attachment 2).

I may end up totally reverting styles and phrases and starting from scratch. I know the sidebar is a potential issue and have code for a different sidebar that iis supposed to be better - and it's on the left side rather than the right.

Oh, well. Bact to troubleshooting. Database is still loading. It's from an auto-backup and the tables weren't rebuilt and verified so it takes longer. i optimize the database before I dump it when I do a manual dump and it loads here a lot faster.

Oh, well...

I cannot change styles and I also do not have access to the settings you mentioned.(vB Options->Styles, etc)

The Style drop down at the bottom of the page for example,(footer template) is shown on condition $show['quickchooser']. Where is this condition set?

 

[Marc]

I'll have to look for $show['quickchooser'].

This darn database from 2 days ago is still loading. Darn - it takes a long time to load on my Mac when it's not optimized before its dumped...

I want to review back at least 4 days. Like I said, I changed a lot of phrases and such over the last couple days that i may have done something there. I don't rememebr when it stopped working. I can change styles if I got the the admin view of a user. If I go there for my account the styles show.

So - I guess I have to look into $show['quickchooser'] - Maybe I knocked out a conditional somehow.
