Glad it is finally released. Smile

I have already done a little testing on it and everything seems to upgrade great here. Once you are done upgrading the forum to Beta 3 you should delete everything in the cache folder(except the .htaccess file) if you browsed anywhere on the forums(especially the adminCP).

Hey Kul Wave

You disappeared on us for a while there. Wink

This is what I would do...
Download all the [FILES] for your forum... EVERYTHING, then get the entire database, and create a local version of it... then run it there so that you can make sure it works... if everything goes well, you can run it on your board online.

Remember, it has not been thoroughly tested yet, so be aware.

Edit: Woah! wait a second... you have 1,050 users on a phpBB3 Beta board? or phpBB2?

This is not a phpBB2 -> phpBB3 upgrade, THAT upgrade is in another topic.
This is for a phpBB3 (beta) -> phpBB3 (beta) upgrade
Watch out! I might do a code wheelie!

Hey Its Kul, this script is a Beta 1 to Beta 3... the Beta 2 to Beta 3 is coming very soon.
Also, like Highway said, I would download your forum database and files and install a Beta 3 on your localhost before using it live... that way you can make sure it works first and report any bugs.

So far, Exreaction has used it and it seemed to have gone very well... there is 1 know bug that we will be working on.

I was thinking of movin to vbulletin, but you saved my day.

Thanks and God Bless You with superior Programming Powers.

Hey Birbal! Wave
Long time lurker? Wink
I recall seeing your site before, but I can't remember from where I would have seen the link.
And curiosity struck me for a moment... why were you thinking of going to vB?
Was it just the fact that you may not be able to upgrade your Beta Forum? Confused

Hey Kul, okay, good... once the Beta2 upgrade modification is complete, you will be able to upgrade from a Beta2 (non-CVS) but make sure you backup the database just in case. Smile

Few issues here. One (which I forgot to get the error output while it was there) is that you can't upgrade if your ranks have no image set as it says that the last field in the insert cannot be null.

Secondly, this is in the header while the upgrade is going:
Code: Select all
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /upgrade/index.php on line 412: Undefined variable: s_option_two
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions.php on line 3299: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /includes/functions.php:2840)
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions.php on line 3301: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /includes/functions.php:2840)
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions.php on line 3302: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /includes/functions.php:2840)
[phpBB Debug] PHP Notice: in file /includes/functions.php on line 3303: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /includes/functions.php:2840)


Thirdly, this happens:

Code: Select all
SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]

Unknown column 'worc_common' in 'field list' [1054]

SQL

INSERT INTO phpbb_search_wordlist (word_id, word_text, worc_common) VALUES ('1', 'example', '0')

BACKTRACE

FILE: includes/db/mysql.php
LINE: 132
CALL: dbal->sql_error()
