phpbb 3.0.6 Upgrade

[sapper]

Did this today, fairly easy process, I used the automatic update function which alters the files for you, there are a lot of file transfers you still need to do yourself though through FTP, however you just upload them all to your root file, (mine was called public_html)

One glitch was i had to download a file from the announcement centre mod which seemed to be missing from the upgrade, that one file stops your site from workiing.

Sorry but I don't understand your question. Don't forget that 3.0.5 based mods may not work with 3.0.6, so it's best to wait for the 3.0.6 mod versions to be released before you install the mod 😉

After the installation of the automatic update version i received a general error

template->_tpl_load_file(): File ./styles/prosilver/template/announcement_centre.html does not exist or is empty

I'd not evr installed the announcement centre mod, but not having this file was stopping my board from displaying, I had to download that one file to the stated directory in order for it to work

Hm just had a search through the files and the standard install doesn't call that file, are you 100% positive you didn't install the mod?

Somewhere in your files, there is a bit a code trying to load that file so at some point it must have been installed. Download that mod and follow the install instructions backwards to uninstall it completely. There is no point keeping old code from mods you don't use and it will just cause problems in the future even though it may be sitting there happily now not affecting your forum.

I've never installed that MOD

 

[CyberFreak]

You must have done something for it to call that file as it is not part of the default phpBB installation so some code from that mod has somehow got into your forum core files. It wouldn't randomly request a file out of nowhere unless there is some code telling it to load it.

Quick Fix: To quickly fix this, simply download the announcement centre mod, upload the html file it is missing to the missing directory, and then your board will be back online. That way you can edit while it is online.

Upload announcement_centre.html in the mod file to /prosilver/template/ and that will bring you back online.

 

[CyberFreak]

He has already done that.

 

[sapper]

He has already done that.

Yes I have and it all appears to be fine.

sapper, can you please open yourstyle/template/overall_header.html and try to find the following code:

<!-- INCLUDE announcement_centre.html -->

If you do, please delete the line and then delete the announcement_centre.html file in your template folder and it should all be good :great:

It's there but only appears after :

<!-- ENDIF -->

 

[Justin]

Go ahead and delete the line anyways. It might help 🙂

Yeah that's fine delete it, that <!-- ENDIF --> is for <!-- IF S_BOARD_DISABLED and S_USER_LOGGED_IN and (U_MCP or U_ACP) --> it ends that line which is for the information the users see when the board has been disabled :great:

There's a 3.0.6 version of Mini Chat available in the MOD database.
