patience is a virtue

I know, just playing around while waiting

Explosives and Liquor; at least I'll be having a fun/neasiating time ...

I'm with Rose...waiting for the Public Non-Beta release is the best idea. Less headaches!

Haven't had any issues yet with installing public betas from here. Any small bugs found are not a problem to fix and helps get the final out quicker

Most public betas aren't half bad; way less bugs than what we get

Technical "could" be so if not comfortable with beta yes better to wait.

Though I find on my site that there is too much whining about this or that and get tired of those type of posts so I'll wait for release on the main site but I'm up for playing with beta on another site I have (or for that matter on a VMWare at home)

True, I install all versions on my second server first. Make sure no bugs and hack the files to add mods before going live.

AM THINKING... probably not going to happen on my day off...

It *probably* won't be in the members area until after the holiday. I normally like to be around when it's released, and I'll probably be gone on the 4th. I'm finishing up a few changes and fixes and then we'll see exactly where we're at.

heres hoping the final is out soon :x...

beta's are always beta's - but I run them on a site with up to 1500 posts a day, and do not have people yelling at me

Because you have no posted mail address or allow PM to you

LOL

(oops - must get beyond the 15 characters )

My angry users simply open up a new topic and let 'er rip.

so, is today the day for the upgrade?

hmmm I think I have to renew my license...

Will do that this am...

'tis coming soon

Coming soon to a member area near you... UBB.Threads 7.2 Beta4... Rated NL2007 (Need License for 2007 )

I think I can hear the fat lady warming up

7.2b4 In the members area now

Good work rick

Thanks Rick, just upgraded posted a parse error in the bug forum. Just an extra "]" in scripts/showprofile.inc.php

Rick,

not related to 7.2b4 except that your post in the news has a [/url] out of place.

Sorry if this is the wrong section for this but I downloaded this newest BETA and willing to update the V7.1 and test

Few questions so I do not screw up, the notes say

Upload all files and directories from the unzipped UBB.threads™ directory to the UBB.threads™ installation directory, except for the includes, styles, and cache_builders/custom directories. You will want to upload all of the .php files within the cache_builders directory, just make sure not to upload the custom directory or files within it.

Verify that permissions on any newly uploaded files are correct for your server platform. Please review the full installation instructions for a reminder on necessary permissions.

Bring up the "install/upgrade.php" script with your web browser. If the normal URL to your UBB.threads™ installation is:
http://www.example.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php
then you will find install/upgrade.php at:
http://www.example.com/ubbthreads/install/upgrade.php

----------------

So On my P/C after unzipping, I can delete the includes and stles directories and in the cache_builders delete custom directories.
Question is am I copying the rest to a temp directory and not to the functional ubbthreads directory ?

If so and I then use the upgrade.php in the ubbthreads, how does it know to find files in the temp directory ?

Or I am copying the folders/files directly to ubbthreads directory ?

Thanks

if you are doing a NEW install you need all files; if you're doing an UPGRADE you need to not upload those specified directories.

Threads does nothing with a temp directory during the upgrade process; you will be over-writing your existing threads installation's files.

The new "temp" directory is for the gallery, and will be a fairly empty and lonely place until you setup a gallery forum.

Possible bug on Post Island.

Where: Post Island (any)
Script: /cache_builders/post_island.php
Summary: wordwrap may corrupt 2-byte characters
Description:
Line 100 of post_island.php, which looks like newly added with 7.2, may sometimes corrupt character when you're using a mixture of single-byte and 2-byte characters such as Japanese or Chinese dut to PHP's wordwrap function.

Solution:
Simply commenting out this line helps and fixes this issue.

Suggestion:
This should be specified on Control Panel (is it? couldn't find anyway); use wordwrap or not, and, the number of characters you want to wrap at.

Just finished upgrading our board to 7.2b4. Came across a few file permission issues (i.e., in languages/english userposts.php was 644 and needed to be writable, so changed it to 777). The Main Install Documentation needs to be updated to specifically list the new directories, and the permissions they need (I may need to adjust some of mine now for better security). Overall the install was smooth and without issue.

Now, time to play!

Thanks, Rick!

Thanks for listing this - it is an easy fix!

ubbthreads.inc.php - v7.2.b4

lines : 1326 / 1327

There Identical ?

'VERSION' => $VERSION,
'VERSION' => $VERSION,

Correct or not im not sure

O Dear ive broken mine
Ticket sent to Rick.

Ive created a new Gallery and i can see it
But its no longer in the Control panel to edit lol...
I cant get to it lol...

Its on my test forums anyway

And now my test one is up and running
Had to use a default install,
so now i have to put my tweaks back in.

pmsl - Rick has a long ticket which resolves its self lol

I'm working on beta 5 right now. A few small bugs, and Mark's long ticket, but overall things have gone pretty smooth I did change it so when a new forum is made all groups will have No Access by default, as it's safer to forget to add access to a group than to forget to remove it.

Anyways, I don't anticipate this to be in beta too much longer if things keep going the way they are.

Thanks Rick

Question: All was working smoothly since I upgraded to 7.1.2b4 on Saturday. Now when I go to edit a user I get:

SELECT t1.FORUM_TITLE,t1.CATEGORY_ID,t1.FORUM_SORT_ORDER,t2.CATEGORY_TITLE,t1.FORUM_ID FROM ubbt_FORUMS AS t1, ubbt_CATEGORIES AS t2 WHERE t1.FORUM_IS_ACTIVE='1' AND t1.CATEGORY_ID = t2.CATEGORY_ID ORDER BY t2.CATEGORY_SORT_ORDER,t1.FORUM_SORT_ORDER

Can't create/write to file '/tmp/root-tmp.4455ab8/files/#sql_4b7c_0.MYI' (Errcode: 13)

/tmp (the /tmp directory under the main forum directory) is already 777.

Ideas? Could be another of those occasional SQL issues that my host needs to fix.

Thanks!

Check and verify that you have space available if the permissions are correct.

Thanks! Just also saw a similar message on my website (done with Joomla!). That generally means the webhost did something and didn't make sure everything was working.

Was about to say that your tmp directory would be under your webspace vs the server root lol

sounds like they deleted all data in /tmp, including some temp files that are required to operate the system

Thanks Rick, upgrade to 5

I´ve uploaded the install directory, but it seems that something is wrong.


And yes, i cleared the /install before

If you're just checking to see what's been changed, you'll at least need to upload the libs/ubbthreads.inc.php file as well, as that holds the current version #.

aah, ok thanks
