[Beta 1 -> 3, Beta 2 ->4] phpBB3 Beta to Beta upgrade script

[Bryan]

Yeah...looks like some of the BBCode wasn't working. From what I could tell, some did work fine, which is weird.

I also just noticed that custom profile fields don't get transferred. They need to be re-added.

[Handyman]

Ok... thanks for the update... I'm working on the bbcodes now.

Edit: I ran out of time for working on this today, so I'll have to work on it later
Exreaction is working on fixing the custom profile fields.

how are you guys doing the PFs?
(I suppose I should have a look).
Bryan, that was a very amusing screenshot of the smileys.

Exreaction, the flash tag works like so...
[flash=width,height]path[/flash]
Example:
[flash=400,300]http://website.tld/flash_file.swf[/flash]

PF's?


I just finished committing the worst table yet...profile_fields_data.

It really sucked...and wasn't close to working before...but its working now!

You better get the BBCodes working Handyman...or I am gonna have to start working on them again!

Time for me to go to bed...even more work to do tomorrow.

Profile Fields... but I see you just got them!!

Good job Ex

Ex, if you can find a way to make them work, I would be delighted
BBcodes has gotta be the worst.
Lew, if you have any ideas, please let me know... I know you made the bbcode resync... which I have been unsuccessful in making work as well.

I would just strip the bbcodes... the only problem is smilies are stored in the database really weird... its kinda like this

Code: Select all

<!-- smile -->:)<!-- -->


I'm not sure what to do with that.

I've tried all the generate_text_for_storage stuff and nothing's working.

Beta 3 to Beta 4 anyone?

[Handyman]

Hey Damnian, phpBB already came out with an upgrade script to do that... so far, at least Exreaction and Dace have successfully upgraded from beta 3 to Beta 4 using that script.

We are just going to focus on getting this Beta 1 to Beta 3 and beta 2 to Beta 3 working for the rest of us.

[damnian]

Successfully upgrading vanilla is great. But would that work for this board?

Edit: I think the correct term is updating

[Handyman]

No... I would have to reinstall the mods I have installed... but it's not so bad, Beta 3/4 has a few of them built in

I used to keep this board updated by hand every other day because we were using it to find bugs... so this will be easy in comparison... as long as we can get the bbcode thing worked out.
