Theme is damaged after upgrade from 2.0.18.11 to 2.1

Jameswill

Hi,

Can anyone help me to get rid of this issue. After adding $Configuration['Debug'] = TRUE; in conf I get :

Info Need to re-index theme cache
Info Need to re-index plugin cache
Warning Master views differ. Controller: {PATH}/vanill7/applications/dashboard/views/default.master.php, ViewLocation(): {PATH}/vanill7/applications/dashboard/views/default.master.tpl

My default theme is completely damaged.

How can I resolve this ?

Your theme is not damaged you simply need to re style it and add the missing css rules and a few details . Give me a link and I will check it out.

I getting this issue on windows installation. I noticed that If I remove \applications\dashboard\views\default.master.php then it works fine.

But not sure whether It is safe. How can I re style and add missing css ?
Can I do this from dashboard ? Or manual coding ?

The reason is because you probably were using the php version of the master and selected in the dashboard.

The new Master is a tpl

You should create a custom theme.

Hi, I am using default theme of 2.0.18.11. So, after upgrading what changes I have to do to make theme work ?

Those warnings are benign and not indicative of an actual problem you need to address.

The new Master is a tpl

As you said that Vanilla has now shifted to tpl from php so do I need to delete the following file :
applications\dashboard\views\default.master.php

It is not present in the new 2.1 package I downloaded. But as mentioned in the upgrade guide I unzipped the new package over my existing install so the file still exists.

Is it safe to delete the file :
applications\dashboard\views\default.master.php

@jameswill Excellent catch! Yes! Delete applications\dashboard\views\default.master.php during the upgrade. Editing the instructions now.
