vbDrupal 5.8.0 released

[elmuerte]

vbDrupal is a fork from the Drupal CMS which integrates Drupal with the vBulletin forum software. All third party modules and themes for Drupal should also work with this version of vbDrupal.

This version of vbDrupal is based on Drupal version 5.8. It has been designed to work with vBulletin version 3.6 and 3.7. A copy of the vBulletin software is required in order to use this piece of software.

Download vbDrupal 5.8.0 (https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=158575&package_id=228684&release_id=612517)

This release contains a number of security related bug fixes. It is strongly recommended to update to this version.
When doing an upgrade from a 4.7 release, first test it on a copy of the site.

way to go!

[Taragon]

Thank you!

2 small things.

Whilst/after upgrading vBDrupal the upgrade screen (update.php?op=selection) keeps showing the “Please wait while your site is being updated.”.
It however does seem the upgrade is completely finished.

Second, when selecting drupal/admin/logs/status the status shows this “error”:
Your version: 5.8.0
Latest version: 5.7.0

Could it be I did something wrong somewhere perhaps?

Best regards,

Cor

5.7 -> 5.8 doesn't really require to run update.php (but it shouldn't hurt), are there no "errors" in the log page?
I forgot to update the "latest version" info on vbdrupal.org, it should now list 5.8.0 as the latest.

[Taragon]

Thanks, as usual. I have to admit I wasn’t aware of that.
For as far as I could see right now there aren’t any unexpected errors :)

How does one upgrade to vbDrupal 5.8.0? Do I just overwrite the existing files, or is there an upgrade path?

[Taragon]

You can just overwrite the existing files.

I do wonder if it would be advised to delete the upgrade.php file? For security reasons that is.

[Wolfmark]

I had an error too when the update.php script was run. Actually there were two, one on server side (Views module) and the other on client side (JavaScript error) when the response was parsed. See attached file. I don't know if is a bug in Drupal, vbDrupal, Views or on our installation (the site is running fine, so I assume that this is not the case). Unfortunately I don't have time to find more details and I don't think it is important because for this upgrade it should be enough to simply override the files.

@ Wolfmark
If ok to ask, which ff plugin are you using?

[Wolfmark]

The plugin is Firebug (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843). If you're using Firefox 2 then you need to install an older version.

pathauto is giving me fits now; says does not recognize 'p' line 123 pathauto.inc.

update: This was completely my fault. FCKeditor put in extra valves. problem solved by going into pathauto and only using text input.

Missing: I do wish, though, that the blogAPI worked for Windows Live Writer. This is a huge missing element with vbDrupal. I hate going through the browser and end up writing in WLW and copying it over to vbDrupal. FWIW, I can use WLW in several "pure" Drupal sites (5.x), so I know it is not the configuring of WLW.

i ran into a major problem with the upgrade. The upgrade errored out completely when using Firefox3 but when I ran it via IE7 it ran up till it hit 66% and then timed out. Now the admin error log is telling me taht I need to run the upgrade script to finish the upgrade, but when I do the upgrade script says that nothing needs to be updated. Now when I go to the main forum home page (not the blog homepage) the entire site theme is missing and i get a message that says I need to finish the upgrade at the top of the site!

Any help? :) PLEASE

disable javascript and run update.php

note: updating from 5.7.0 to 5.8.0 doesn't require you to run update.php

note2: you should not delete update.php, its required for various things, including updating 3rd party modules. install.php isn't needed after you installed it.

to upgrade vbdrupal 5.7 to 5.8 i need:

run update.php and update it to drupal 5.8
then i need to rewrite files on the server with files from vbdrupal 5.8 archive

right?!

No, overwriting the files would be enough :)

thank you, Tara!

[perfectsense]

Good day.
That what i got after run update.php (see image)
Is this normal or not? Thanks.

[elmuerte]

did you upload all files?
the drupal version is defined in the system module, and it's not some variable

Any news on vbdrupal 5.9 ?

[HappyPike]

Thanks!

I just overwrite the files with the new files and everything appears to be still working.

[elmuerte]

Any news on vbdrupal 5.9 ?

Will be released in a few hours. I just heard about that release, drupal's notification system is failing :(

[webdzinez]

I agree ... in fact I didnt get notified either ... I happened to be looking for some modules when I noticed new system is released.

Thanks elmuerte!
