[Suite] Upgrades killing primary style

[dahamsta]

The last few times I've upgraded my primary style has gone from this to the attached; basically a weird munge of the standard style and my style.



The first time I was able to sort it out with an old template export, but I've had to revert the last two upgrades because I can't overcome the problem. I've tried switching to and from filesystem storage, export and import, no go whatsoever.

When I export the style, attached, it doesn't seem to contain any stylevar info, could that be the issue and if so how do I correct it?

vbulletin-style.xml

remove style upgrade install style again

[dahamsta]

I've already tried installing as a new style (export and import, above).

[Hawk2]

then you can change the colour manually

[dahamsta]

It's not one colour though, is it? I appreciate the effort, but this really isn't helping, at all.

Anyone else?

[Hawk2]

have you also updated your style to be the same version as the forum 4.1.4?

[dahamsta]

Anyone else?

The upgrade shouldn't normally mess with any of your information.

Did you upload new images instead of making changes to the stylevars?

[dahamsta]

I uploaded the standard set from vB Zachery, but I'm pretty sure that's not it because the colours seem to be coming from CSS -- it's a long time since I created the style. It's possible I created it using the Style Generator, could that account for why there's no CSS info in the exported XML file? Any way to get the CSS /into/ the export file?

Thanks,

The exported XML file only contains changes made to the templates, not all of the templates (although StyleVars should be included).

[dahamsta]

I understand that Trevor, I referred specifically to the CSS info in post #9 -- if you look at the style attached in post #1 you'll see that the StyleVars aren't included, and I'm wondering if that's part of the problem; i.e. if the exporter can't see them, then perhaps the upgrader can't see them? Is there a known reason why the StyleVars wouldn't show up in an export?

[Zachery]

Can you check in you phpinfo, and see if base64 is listed under disabled_functions ?

[dahamsta]

No disabled functions unfortunately Zachery. Given the release today, this has gone from a minor inconvenience to a bit of an issue, should I file a ticket about it? I can run with the default template if I have to, but it looks unprofessional and the issue'll still need to be corrected. Without a proper style export, the style would have to be recreated from a screenshot, which'd be a pain.

Is there another way of exporting the style, perhaps from the style table at the database level? If so, how would I go about checking that the correct data is actually stored there?

Thanks,
Adam

One other thing I forgot to mention: after the upgrade I receive the usual message about modified templates - the template is already wonky by this point - but after I've cleaned these up I continue to get a message about (I think) 11 templates that needs to be updated. These don't show up when I click to take action, and no amount of resetting the templates gets rid of the message.
