If you would have actually read the README/Install script as it was installing - you would have found that:
A- There is no current uninstaller for this BETA hack.
B- You should only use it on a test site
C- that backups of your original files may be found in gas/changes/backup

The other changes will not affect anything else on your board - it will just leave you with some extra templates and phrases that you can uninstall when this package goes live.

Hey Kevin - So you are not using first attachment as image... but when you edit an article, you get the default article image? If I understand right - that is by design. If you do not use the first thumbnail (which I dont recommend doing) then it is set to use the image system (gallery or uploaded) unless you turn off the 'use article header image'. With both of those options turned off - it should use the posters avatar.

HTH's

Thanks gldtn - will sort your points out today for a final release.

When I upgraded to the latest version I noticed that the header image while viewing the article became the poster avatar. When I edit the article the avatar while viewing the article changed to the header image.

I hope I make since.

Same here. Old articles havethe user's avatar and need editing to update to the header image, but Iassumed that's because of the old data that was stored in thedatabase. Maybe there's a query we could run to update all oldarticles to show a header image on "view article" instead of themember's avatar?

Im kind of confused here. I have fixed all other bugs that you guys have brought up since the latest build and I am just working on finishing up the installer (damn its huge).

I may have fixed this as there was an issue with default images - however I want to be sure. Is there anyway you guys can post me a walkthough to reproduce on my end?

Umm, I'm not sure which version I ended up installing on my live forum, but an example of what I mean is in this article http://www.aboho.com/forum/thread2128.html Notice that the member's avatar is showing at the moment (it doesn't in the forumdisplay,that'sOK). To update the header image to one of the actual header images, I shall have to go and edit the article (which gives no image initially)then reselect an image from the popup (am I making sense?) and save.

Your not on the latest release which may be one of the problems (the latest build auto creates your synopsis if its blank).

I think this has been fixed in the current release (if not I am almost positive its in the next one that I should release here within the hour).

To wait or not to wait.... Ohhhhh I can wait an hour or two. I downloaded AN updated release yesterday at some point but when the install went wrong with my live forum I kinda lost track of which release was which as I wasn't following the thread. :o

Should be able to revert with your backup files ;)

The installer inst 100% done (finished the install and upgrade options but not the uninstall yet) guess I can post it here in the next 20 minutes or so - then I can finsih the uninstall and put my finishing touches on it (and the readme) while you are testing.

Check back soon

Excellent! Thanks :D

Package updated to RC2

This should really be it. Here is what I have left on my TODO list:

Finish uninstaller
Create proper README
Add my 'witty' (if I do say so myself) touches to installer ;)

If anyone could start verifying this latest package - I would appreciate it. ESPECIALLY if they have GAS 3.0x installed - I would like verification on the upgrade process.

Thanks!

I installed it over the rc1 and got no problem, however there are some issues that I'm not sure if it's because of the old beta I have installed. So I'm in the process of installing it on a different board, a clean install and I just got this message while going thru Installing Settings ...

Here is the error:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /gas/install/inc_functions.php on line 91

Everything else seems 100% on the new board that I installed this mod.. I'll have to do a clean install on the main board cause it's some how keeping all the old issues in there.

sounds like you dont have the latest inc_functions

Can you verify by opening your gas/install/inc_functions.php and serach for:
global $datastore,$version;

That was causing the error you mentioned.

Yes, it's there, shal I remove it? This came with the RC2 version..

nope... should be there. ahhh.... I think I know...

That bit grabs any existing $gas_settings you have... you said this was on a fresh install?
I think I just need to put a test wrapper around it. You can ignore the error.

How is the rest?

[high]* gldtn ignores it!
[/high]

Yes, it's a fresh install. Everything else seems great, have'nt done any major checking, but the article images issues I was having is gone on the fresh install.. I'll wait for the uninstaller to see if I can verify that everything is good on my original board I was testing with. Any idea when the uninstaller is being released?

How about now? (I added checking to prevent the error as well)

New package includes uninstall

Trying it out.. I used the uninstaller and it did great...

but I got another forreach error once re-installing it;

This time on a different file.
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /admincp/gas3_install.php on line 593

Squashed foreach error. Updated package.

I got a slight problem Nail Geek :( Go here http://www.aboho.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=57 and scroll right to the bottom where it says "The XHTML Chronicles". :(

Will check when I get home(im at work now), and I'm having problems with my ftp server, so I got wait till they fix it.

have a test login?

need a username/password :(

Ooops sorry.... I PMd you the details. :o

hmmm... The quote block is messing it up.

Ill have to put on my thinking cap regarding that one... All you have to do is put some type of synopsis in and it will use that instead of your quote block.
Im not going to stress to much about it right now as I think that there is an easy workaround and it would be a very rare case that it does occur.

What do you think?

Let me know.

Thank you... fixed it for the moment. Agreed, it's not going to happen all the time, but would this be a problem with the ["code] tag as well?

possibly.

I guess I could always turn off the auto synopsis.
If you think this would be a problem I would either always include a synopsis, use the forumdisplay legacy option, or limit the wordcount to character count to where it is manageable (I doubt anyone would start an article with a long codeblock).

Like I said - ill try to figure out how to work around it - but it will be a pain. Ill have to check the spliced text for div and td's

I doubt anyone would start an article with a code aswell, I guess it could wait for a later version. (It's not a security risk is it?)

OK you wanted us to be picky...... :nervous: you remember that issue with the avatars showing instead of the header image?.... it's still doing it. :nervous: It doesn't bother me, but I thought I'd mention it.

The install went OK for me, but I didn't use upgrade, I did a clean install. Only one point, although it didn't seem to affect the install, I received this error on admincp/gas3_install.php?do=templatemodinstall&h=1&m=1 page

which package? I think I just fixed that.

Can you list steps to reproduce the image problem?

The zip file is gas3-5_rc2.01 (well I downloaded it and by the time I finished installing it you'd released the next package :o )

To reproduce the image problem? Well it's not something that is occuring with new articles if you know what I mean. It's with the previous articles from your GAS 3.0x version. I had selected in that previous version that the user's avatar be used and not the first image or whatever the other option was. It just seems that it hasn't updated in this new version and it's still showing the users avatar until I edit and save the article in order to update it.

When I say I did a clean install I didn't remove any template edits or mess with the database, I only used un-hacked copies of the actual files. Could it be this has caused the problem? :o

Snow - more than likely. There was an old bug that stored the default image in the table - but that was fixed a few days ago. Maybe that was wigging it out.
