Patching Blog 2.0.2 to 2.0.3

I wanted to upgrade Blog mod from 2.0.2 to 2.0.3 I already have two licenses pointing to same website one is 4.0 publishing suite another one is 3.8 + blog 2.0.2 I'm not going to pay for the upgrade the one with blog, that would cost like buying a third license for the same website. Insane, but this is how wonderfully vbulletin system and support works. I'm not going to even to post this on vb.com cause I'm sure they will not help as always.

Can anyone advice me how to patch it please?

I think I need to change:

Code:

foreach ($blogstats AS $key => $value)

{

    $blogstats["$key"] = vb_number_format($value);

}

to this in functions file

Code:

foreach ($blogstats AS $key => $value)

{

    if($key != "lastentry"){$blogstats["$key"] = vb_number_format($value);}

}

and to replace all instances of

Code:

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

Code:

error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~8192);

Can anyone confirm I'm not missing anything? :)

Interesting moral conundrum here, if someone provides you with the code wouldn't they technically be assisting with license fee evasion?

Then again if it's just a security/bugfix patch those are sometimes made available regardless of license status.

One for Paul M to adjudicate on methinks.

Lol, fixing some small bug would be "license fee evasion" ? Maybe let's call it piracy already? Lol

Well I don't know, that's why I posed the question.

I'm sure if you asked someone to post the code to some great new feature in the latest version of the forums, that wouldn't go down too well. So where do you draw the line?

(*Not that ever are any "great new features" in vB these days of course, I was speaking hypothetically. Unless anyone *really* wants the code to VerticalResponse....)

Yeah, I get it.

Anyway, of course there was much more code to fix, though I managed to fix the bugs that were within blog. I see no errors, I guess it's all fine and "up to date" now. I don't know what they updated in 2.0.3 since no code changes can be seen in bugtracker. :mad: Whatever, vB3 branch is no longer maintained anyway, I guess now we can only develop it on our own. vBulletin is going to lose great share in the market, more and more people look now towards other solutions like xenforo and it doesn't surprise me. I don't want to sound too harsh but we all know things are going in wrong direction...

They should make the blogs a freeware/open source add-on since they are not supporting them anymore. LOTS of people want the blog, you can't even buy it anymore.

I refuse to upgrade to vB4. I have 3.8.7 and I'm looking for a blog mod. Anyone has any suggestions?
