Topic: Major Forum Upgrade

[Lum-chan]

Today, I have upgraded the forum to SMF 1.1.9 and the portal itself to TP 1.0 Beta 4. Small changes have been made to the code under the skin and as far as I can see, everything is in correct working order.

Below are the several changes to the newly installed software:

SMF 1.1.9:

Simple Machines announces the release of SMF 1.1.9 and 2.0 RC1-1, addressing a few vulnerabilities found in SMF 1.1.8 and 2.0 RC1. We strongly recommend that all users upgrade as soon as possible.

It should be noted that SMF 2.0 RC1-1 is not the second release candidate for SMF 2.0, but merely a security-updated version of the first release candidate. The new Curve theme is still scheduled for SMF 2.0 RC2, as announced earlier.

To upgrade, use the package manager to upgrade to either 1.1.9 or 2.0 RC1-1, depending on your version. Simply visit your administration center, where a notice will be displayed, prompting you to upgrade. Click the link, confirm the changes and your forum will be up to date again. Users still running the SMF 1.0.x branch can upgrade to SMF 1.0.17 via the same procedure.

If you cannot upgrade using the package manager, please follow the instructions posted in the Online Manual about installing and upgrading. If you experience a session verification error when inputting FTP details for updating process, please see this topic.

It may be necessary to apply the upgrade manually if mod conflicts mean that you cannot install the patch through the package manager. Instructions for doing this can be found on this page for all versions.

Regards,
Simple Machines

If you find something strange or something isn't working as it should be, please let me know in this thread.

Thanks in advance!

The post count in profiles with over 1000 posts is still messed up.

(The comma - #,### is replaced by a decimal - #.### which makes the thing think ur post count is under 10 and, only on the profile, says (10-number) till Chibi. The average post per day is the opposite where the decimal is replaced by a comma so it says 1000's of posts per day.)

I have posted it again as a new bug on SMF development. I'm curious about a solution too. It should be a comma in stead.

Has been patched in version 1.1.9 already. Needed to change an option

fixed  :icon_mrgreen:

XD now my profile doesn't show up, "Database Error"

"If you encounter this error again, tell an administrator"

lol

[UruseiNeo]

nvm its working now

doesn't say "how many posts till (level)" anymore but that's technically not a "bug"

[Lum-chan]

Fixed that one too but just temporally. Odd error message tho. While yours wasn't working, mine just did. Some other accounts were affected as well. I'm now working on this. Might be a database problem. Some parts are at version 1.1.7 and not at 1.1.9  |:(

Update:

Updated the complete Donation section to the latest version
Updated the User Email system to latest version
Removed Next Post Level 1.2 -> This caused the error when viewing a profile for some users.

doesn't say "how many posts till (level)" anymore but that's technically not a "bug"

At this Forum version it's now considered as a bug  -> Removed this modification
