Vanilla 2.0.18 RC2 released

LincLinc Admin
edited October 2011 in Releases
This is NOT a stable release. BACKUP YOUR DATABASE AND CONFIG.PHP FILE BEFORE UPGRADING. This is a release candidate for testing purposes only. I skipped releasing RC1 because I had 1 more patch to pull and messed up the git tag. :)

Download it here (VIA GITHUB - Do not use the Addons section on this site currently).

Thanks to everyone who filed issues against beta 4! It was very much appreciated. Special thanks to jspautsch, sbenes, zamrih, and petitben for contributing fixes since beta 4 that made it into this release candidate.

Changes since 2.0.18b4:
  • Fixed issue where user's IP address was returned by API
  • Fixes drag-n-drop category organization
  • Fixes setting of the Homepage view in Dashboard
  • Fixes profile to not ask for old password if one was never set (via SSO)
  • Fixed issue where footer would be hidden when clicking "More discussions"
  • Enabled "Mark All Viewed" plugin in mobile
  • Fixed user meta data bug that could result in data loss
  • Fixed where advanced notification permissions weren't checked correctly
  • Fixed case where bookmarked discussion would not show in module
  • Fixed support for PHP 5.2 on Windows (fnmatch)
  • Fixes SignIn target
  • Changed default: Ability to view other members' private conversations is now 'off' and require adding Conversations.Moderation.Allow = TRUE to config and manually giving permission Conversations.Moderation.Manage to allowed roles.
  • Adds 'AfterActivityQuery' event
  • Turns off Embed by default
  • Adds translatable strings
  • Misc framework fixes
  • Adds some inline documentation
We'll do more release candidates if/as necessary.


Here's the usual details:
=======================

Reporting Issues

DO NOT REPORT ISSUES ON THE COMMUNITY FORUM

Please report all issues on the GitHub Issue Tracker. Remember to do a quick search through the issues to make sure your issue has not already been added or resolved.

Keeping track of new releases

You can follow our releases by pointing your favorite RSS reader at:
http://www.vanillaforums.org/addon/vanilla-core/follow.rss
This feed will automatically update whenever we release a new version of Vanilla Core.

Troubleshooting the Vanilla 2 Installation

If you run into any issues during the installation, you may see the "Bonk" error screen. In order to get past this screen, you can add the following line to your conf/config.php file:
$Configuration['Garden']['Debug'] = TRUE;

This will show you a more detailed screen of information about the actual problem you've encountered. Please include this information when reporting issues (copy & paste exact errors, please).

Upgrading Vanilla 2.0 Forums

  1. Back up your database.
  2. Back up all of your existing files.
  3. Unarchive the new files and copy them over your existing files. Make sure that your hidden files (ie .htaccess) are copied to your server.
  4. Make sure the conf/config.php from your old version has been copied over to the new version.
  5. Delete all *.ini files in your cache/ folder
  6. Navigate to the page in your forum that updates your database: www.yourforum.com/utility/update (or www.yourforum.com/index.php?p=/utility/update)
  7. Visit your forum and test away!

    Thank you. The RC1 release on the addons page has a lot of problems that will render a forum useless if upgrading from beta. This is a good reminder to everyone who doesn't make backups to make backups.

    This release works excellently. Not a bad job at all. Thanks @Lincoln, @Tim, and others!

    Add Pages to Vanilla with the Basic Pages app

    The "RC1" on the addons page actually gives you version 2.0.0 (first release), so yes that would be bad to use. Hence the GitHub link above while we continue to sort out the issues with the .org download. I didn't want the RC to get stale because of an unrelated problem.
  • LincLinc Admin
    @Shadowdare I made edits above to encourage backups and explicitly tell people to use the GitHub download. Thanks!

    This is just a question, not so much a problem, but I've discovered a strange thing after upgrading to RC2

    My file /forum/applications/dashboard/views/default.master.php,
    Has customisations that I added in header and footer.

    After upgrade, I saw that my customisations were gone i.e a second logo & links next to the logo.

    So I go and upload my original file, (overwrite) which I saved, that has these customisations, and sure enough, my customisations are back, looking great, BUT.....

    I go to the file again to make a change and discover the file is the default file, sans customisations, despite the customisations still being evident on the forum.

    How is this so? how can I edit my file now, unless I edit my original and upload/overwrite again.

    I just find this very strange, please comment? :)

    You can see my customisations remain

    I have drag-n-drop category organization problem with ie9 firefox 6.X and chrome
    (it's ok on rc1) so I can't create parent category
  • DruDru
    Anyone else found, that after updating from the current stable version to this, that if they try to set the email confirmation role, it doesn't list the Confirm Email role in the selection box? I had to manually add the id of the role to the config file to set it correctly.

    This doesn't happen with a clean install though.
  • camocamo New
    @Dru I upgraded from 2.0.18b4 to this but same thing yeah!

    @Dru, give the email confirmation role sign in permission.

    @camo, You can still see your theme because the Smarty creates a php version of the file in your /cache folder. I really recommend you make your customizations in a theme. It's not that hard. Check out the quick start.

    @Todd

    done! Thankyou :)

    you said "@Dru, give the email confirmation role sign in permission."

    I want them to be 'applicant' until confirm Email. "applicant' & Guest' are limited to 'view'

    How do I give 'Applicant' role sign in permission so it appears in the dropdown?
  • DruDru
    edited October 2011
    @Todd Is there a way to give the email confirmation role that ability without having to manually edit the database? (Not that I mind, just curious if it's something that will be added to the ui). It's stored in the db as a role which can't have sessions so there's no option to add the sign in permission to that role.
  • ToddTodd Vanilla Staff
    You can give the email confirmation role sign in permission in your dashboard under roles & permissions.

    Some css issues fix:
    open
    applications/dashboard/views/activity/all.php
    search
    <?php echo Anchor(T('Recent Activity'), 'activity'); ?>
    replace with
    <?php echo Anchor(T('Recent Activity'), 'activity', 'TabLink'); ?>

    open
    applications/dashboard/views/activity/item.php
    search
    <?php echo Anchor(T('Activity Item'), 'activity'); ?>
    replace with
    <?php echo Anchor(T('Activity Item'), 'activity', 'TabLink'); ?>

    create custom css file and paste this:
    .MorePager a, .MorePager a:link, .MorePager a:hover, .MorePager a:active, .MorePager a:visited { margin: 0; border: 1px solid #abdafb; border-radius: 3px; -moz-border-radius: 3px; -webkit-border-radius: 3px; background: #bbe2f7; display: inline; font-weight: bold; color: #1e79a7; text-decoration: none; padding: 5px 10px; line-height: 2.6; white-space: nowrap; }

    @camo, What option can't you find? Roles & Permissions? The sign in permission? What? Come on, put a little effort into your questions.

    @Todd,

    There is no check box to give sign in permission dude! Put a little effort into your answers, your pretty vague! Your supposed to be the expert right? Don't get pissed off at me because you give vague offhand and unhelpful answers, we're not all vanilla experts!
