vB3.5 Question

[edstevemiller]

Ok if I install teh vBA to a 3.5 board. What can I expect? A half working mod, or a nuclear meltdown? My forums are mission critical so I'm not gonna test it. But I would like to know if someone can assure me that I can install it...

No vBa products have been updated for vB 3.5 yet.

[edstevemiller]

yea i kno that, but will it work regardless if there made for it?

[phlogiston]

Straight from the box, nope (almost) no modifications or hacks made for vBulletin pre-3.5 will work with 3.5 at all.

& that goes for everything, vBadvanced products will need altered just like everyone elses :)

[edstevemiller]

god dangit.... anyway then when is the next version expected to be out?

[ConqSoft]

vb 3.5 is just at BETA 1, it still has to go through multiple RC levels as well... No reason at all to be running it on a production site yet.

I would agree 100%. I am running it on a test site and I am impressed.. But I wont be upgrading untill late RC or gold.

I couldn't agree more, the 3.5 beta will most likely have lots of code changes before it hits the 'stable' version, so that would mean updating the code over and over again...I would recommend testing out the beta and start using it on a production site once it gets stable...

What i ment is when will the next version of VBA come out lol not vB

I would disagree. I have yet to find a template mod that wont work and there are thousands of those out there.

[phlogiston]

ahh, yes, good point.

My post was full of my own kind of thinking and I never really think of template changes as "mods", changing the templates in my mind feels only normal and not really a modification at all in the way I was meaning!

So yes, template changes carry over from 3.0.x to 3.5 fairly well, changes in the php files are the ones unlikely to work without updating :)

Just as a side note: Even with the template changes you have to be careful. For example, the code in the 'footer' dealing with the quick-chooser drop-down has changed from 3.0 to 3.5 ... which means even if it is just a quick template change, be sure to compare the 3.5 template code versus the 3.0 template code to make sure you're really changing what you think you are. ;)

That is why I said:
