Hi Chuck -

Thanks for releasing RP 5.2.

First thing I did after downloading was to run a diff on the 5.2 zip compared to the 5.1 zip. I found quite a few additional files that have changed, as well as some that haven't despite being on your list of changed files.

Here's a list of changed files in the download zips that are not in your list:

adm-lang.php
config-inc.php.NEW
HTACCESS
install.php
upgrade.php
showproduct.php
search.php

/forums/ib.php
/forums/ib2.php
/forums/ib3.php
/forums/xmb.php
/forums/wowbb.php
/forums/vb3.php
/forums/vb2.php

/forums/nuke.php
/forums/mybb.php
/forums/mambo.php
/forums/ikon.php
/forums/fusion.php
/forums/e107.php
/forums/dcf.php

(A lot above have same change: TYPE=MyISAM changed to ENGINE=MyISAM)

/templates/cathead.tmpl
/templates/vb4enhanced/undercat.tmpl
/templates/vb4enhanced/profile.tmpl


These ones on your changed list are identical:

showcat.php
uploadproduct.php


Please advise on how to do the upgrade from 5.1 to 5.2. Do we just upload the additional changed files not on your list, or do we also need to run the upgrade script?

Thanks!
Zig

I go by file date to know what files changed. The files I meantioned are ones changed since 5.1 which was released on 9-13-2010.

I do not list install or upgrade on the normal file list since they are not used in the operation of the program. As well my release notes above state no upgrade is needed if upgrading from 5.1. All release notes are sequential from the last release. Every integration file was not listed as the only change to those files overall was a change for a new install. Something obviously not to worry about in an upgrade.

To my knowledge to upgrade you need to be running the files included in the download. Any files you need to upload should be correct. If your running 5.1 then only the files I listed should do it. If your running 5.0 then your changes would be any files listed as changed in the release from the 5.1 and 5.2 change files list.

Hmm, our 5.1 build date was 9/22/10 8:12 AM according to my notes. That seems to be newer than your 9/13/10 date. Are you sure 9/13/10 was the 5.1 release?

I'm confused by the above statement. We are running 5.1, but it seems we need to upload more than what you have listed as changed from 5.1.

For example, these are just some of the lines that are different in showproduct.php between 5.1 (9/22/10) and 5.2 (5/5/11):

Are you saying we can ignore these changes, or should we go ahead and upload all changed files that we use?

Thanks,
Zig

zig not sure where your getting 9-22 from but our announcement on our site hear clearly says 9-13 was when 5.1 was released.

showproduct has a date of 1-31-2011 so that should be included in my notes was an oversight.

Otherwise what I have stated is true. I go by file dates when I make up the release notes. what I posted is correct. I do not include any changes files that have to do with a new install etc on an upgrade release announcement since they do not apply to what we are discussing.

with any install if your want to make sure your running stock code. You can safely unzip the download. delete the install and upgrade files as well as the two config files. delete the stylesheets data and uploads directories. delete any header or footer htm file from the downloaded code.

everything else can be uploaded if you want to be sure your using clean code.

Another customer also saw 9-22 for the 5.1 build date. See his post here: errors in admin area

Ah, thanks.

Well, some of the other code differences between 5.1 and 5.2 in files not on your list don't look like they are just install related. May explain why we ran into bugs that you couldn't replicate. I guess I will upload all the changed files just to be on the safe side.

Thanks,
Zig

Like I said I go by file dates to know what has changed. If the date was after 9-13-2010 I put it on the list

I'm still seeing 5.1 as the current version in Admin stats after uploading the changed files.

Noticed "5.1" is still in adm-misc.php in the 5.2 distribution zip here:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Should I edit that to be 5.2, or is that supposed to be updated automatically from the $VERSION variable?

Thanks,
Zig

[Chuck S]

Yes I noted in my initial reply that was an oversight simple edit your file.
