vBa Links Directory 1.0.0 (Gold) Released

[Brian]

vBadvanced Links Directory 1.0.0 has been released and is now available in the Members' Area here for those who have purchased a license. This new version is mostly just a maintenance release to fix all currently known bugs (click here (http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=54) for a list) and to do a little general cleanup. After three RC versions, I think the number of remaining bugs should be very minimal and it is about time for an offical 'Gold' version.

Upgrade instructions may be found in the readme file that comes with the zip. For those upgrading, please follow the instructions carefully as some things were changed with the permissions and neglecting to make the file change listed there could result in some of your usergroup permissions not working correctly. Please also note that the 'adv_portal_directorybit' template has now been broken down into two seperate templates (adv_portal_directorybit1 and adv_portal_directorybit2) for better performance, and to make modifications easier. If you have customized this template then you will need to re-apply the changes to these two new templates.

sweet!

[Richard]

Does this mean that vbCMPS will be getting some attention again? Maybe a new release with bugfixes included?

[Brian]

Yes. I have been working on 2.0 (or 1.1, haven't decided what it will be called yet) as well. :)

[pulsetoday]

Kewl..... Just in time before I start using my script commercially!


:) Thanks!

[nexia]

...i try to unzip, file seems to be corrupted... (i use StuffIt Expander and the default Zip application on Mac OS-X!)

[Zachery]

I think it might have somthing to do with the document last modified date.

As i was uploading files today i noticed they all were last updated January 1 1601...

[nexia]

will you update the file then ?! ;) :)

[Brian]

I've just made some changes to the code that will hopefully help. Please try to download the zip again and if it still gives you problems let me know and I can just email you a copy for now until we get it straightened out.

[nexia]

hey, you made too much changes to the file, it's now empty.. lol hum.. you can email it to me, but i suppose other members will need this fixed too.. ;)

btw, everything i try to download is now empty in your downloader...

[Brian]

I think I have an idea of why it would be empty. I've updated it again so if you get a second and wouldn't mind trying to download it again please let me know if it's still creating problems.
E-mail sent as well. :)

*Edit*

I tried to send the script to the e-mail address you have in your profile, but it was returned. Could you either post the correct email address here or PM me with it?

[nexia]

hum.. sorry for the email, i always forget these things... now it's updated.

btw, the archive is again empty... no, error: 99 928 bytes.. .. it just have a compression DOM and StuffIt Expander are not able to handle...

footer is showing RC3. is this just an oversight, or is the download not up-to-date?

[Brian]

Nexia - E-mail sent. :)

7thGenCivic - The version number should have been updated to 1.0.0. Did you run the upgrade script? If so, please try saving your options to update the cache and see if that has an effect.

[7thGenCivic.com]

it was a clean install. and did changes some options and saved.

[Brian]

Very strange... If you'd like to submit a support ticket I'll be glad to take a look, make sure things were updated properly (and update them if not), and update the version number so you won't have any problems in the future.

[Nero]

All worked fine for me :) Upgrade done
Thank you Brian!

[nexia]

worked fine for me with the emailed version... good to see our bugs are corrected.. ;)

[Richard]

hey, you made too much changes to the file, it's now empty.. lol hum.. you can email it to me, but i suppose other members will need this fixed too.. ;)

btw, everything i try to download is now empty in your downloader...
Are you actually downloading the files and then opening them? Or are you choosing to open them when you click on them to download them? If you are getting an empty .zip file, usually that means that you chose to open it instead of download it.

[nexia]

thanks Richard, but i'm not new to internet, and we've soluted the situation... it's related to the download protocol...

[PixelFX]

About to install, thanks for the update :) all we need is membership system like yours, and download system and we're set :P thanks for all the hard work on everything you do :)

[Richard]

thanks Richard, but i'm not new to internet, and we've soluted the situation... it's related to the download protocol...
I wasn't implying that you were new to the internet. There is a bug with Winzip that will cause you to see a blank .zip file sometimes if you choose to open the .zip file instead of downloading it first.

seems that the upgrade script isn't set up for table prefixes. Gives errors saying the tables don't exist.

these 2 queries in the install script need the table prefix added.

$DB_site->query("ALTER TABLE links_search ADD username TEXT NOT NULL AFTER string");
$DB_site->query("ALTER TABLE links_search ADD searchtime TINYTEXT NOT NULL");

[Brian]

Thanks for pointing that out. I seriously need to add table prefixes to my personal site so that I'll notice these mistakes before I release the files. I've updated the install file on here so that others won't have that problem. If you need help getting the rest of the upgrade script run please submit a support ticket and I'll be glad to make some changes and get the last part of the script run.

[nexia]

looks like Brian is making the same error as most of the coders for vB.. never use prefixes.. lol...

anyway, this is a good release, even with the little misses...

[Fiber]

Brian,

I did the upgrade from RC 3 and the text in the image attached has change to a different (very light color) Where do I need to change these? It appears this text is grabbing from the table border CSS? I circled the areas in red.

Sorry about putting it in a zip file, but I could barely get an image to upload do to file size limitations on uploading.

Thanks,

Fiber

This is an error I am getting ontop of my forum now.

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home2/mastmark/public_html/forum/links/links_global.php on line 17

I know its pointing to the error dealing with the directory address for my forums. So went in the file to see if I can resolve the issue but not luck?

Fiber

[Brian]

Have you made any modifications to your 'ADV_LINKS_BROWSELINKS' template?
As for the chdir error, what do you have set for your path in your links_config.php file?

[Fiber]

I have this in the links_config.php

/home2/mastmark/public_html/forum/

I tocuhed nothing else just did the upgrade from RC3 to Gold

When I did the uprgrade though I seen it installing templates which seem odd to me. Was there new templates?

[Fiber]

I got if fixed... Not sure what the issue was, but it appears to the links_config.php.

I went through and re-named it again and that fixed it, just one of things I guess. :D


Thanks Brian!

Fiber

[Blgrw]

Please this absolutely builds in the next version!!: Deactivate the a carrier (author of the link) and the date of them.

Sorry for my bad English :D :D

[PixelFX]
