Upgrade ??

[werehere]

Since there was no mention of shutting the forum down to upgrade, I am wondering if I have to?

And then I jsut run the upgrade script and it will do the rest?

And I am sure you have this built in there somewhere, but I have to ask. This will not override any of my templates if I dont want it to right?

Thanks.

More detailed upgrade instructions have now been put on the members page.

Damn that was easy, and no errors or problems with the upgrade at all. The forum is completely VB now, and I love it:)

Unfortunetely the escaping of the "'" is still there, only difference is that it only has one "/" instead of 2,4,6 or more:)


Any thoughts on how to fix that?

Great upgrade script though, fully automated.

What about listing my site with the others that are on the vb page now that it is up and running?:)

Email James if you want to be listed on the home page. I'm sure he would be happy to add you.

Thank you, and I will:)

Any idea on the escaping problem listed above? Or should I move this to bugs?

[John]

Oh I missed that error...

And there was me sitting there happy thinking that I had got that buggie. :(

OK, open options.php in the admin directory and look for this code (line 540). Replace it with this:

[code]
// ###################### Start set options #######################
if ($action=="dooptions") {

while (list($key,$val)=each($newoption)) {
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()==1) {
$val=stripslashes($val);
}
$val=str_replace("\$","\\\$",$val);
$val=str_replace("\"","\\\"",$val);
$opttemp.="\$$key = \"$val\";\n";
}
[/code]

This should not affect many people - it will only be a problem if you have a single quote ' in use in the general settings control panel, and you have magic_quotes_gpc setting in PHP turned on.

Thanks,
John
