Cool, I can't wait.

Good luck with converting it.

Cyricx · #**133** 03-21-2006, 06:46 PM

So I'm pretty freaking close to having this done. A few of my users are going to help me test it all tomorrow and make sure I didn't fubar any of the error messages because the format all changed with the version switch....

However..

I see one major problem with people installing this..

And that is people with info already in store. If your up for deleting what you have already there and starting from scratch, rock on.. otherwise...

The problem will be with a few things...

The error phrases needed to be vastly redone with the new {1} {2} etc format instead of hardcoded variables in the phrases...

Second and truly the biggest problem, is that the triad_user populates from the user table, matching up user ids, so pretty much anyone who has joined the site since you upgraded to 3.5 and lost the use of this hack, would NOT be in the triad_user table...

I'll try to come up with an uninstall script, it shouldn't be too rough, just mimic his uninstall script.

However, as far as how to do an upgrade from 3.0.8... I've got no clue. I could do it all except for how to populate that damn user table with the missing userids

Anyone have any ideas on how to do that? if so, contact me. Otherwise I should (stress should... have a real busy home life right now

) have a 3.5 compatable version out by Friday.

O and with this version I'm also going to toss in a usergroup permission thing in there, thanks to Andreas how-tos

It'll be just a global can access switch. Not going to get tooo complex with it yet since it's not my own hack

DS MrSinister · #**135** 03-22-2006, 04:20 PM

its all good. just would like to see it work once again.

thanks for doing this.

Cyricx · #**136** 03-23-2006, 08:41 PM

Well.. I got it working and bug free as far as me and my handful of testers can see...

Problem I still have is I see noway that I know of for how to make a script to upgrade it.

Problem being the user table missing all the userids

I'm gonna run it by one of my php/mysql buddies and see if he can help me figure out a way before I release it.

Cyricx · #**137** 03-24-2006, 04:53 PM

My brain hurts

Okay.... lotta fiddling and fedabbling around... I have Dark's permission to post this so...

WARNING INSTALLING THIS VERSION WILL UNINSTALL ALL OF YOUR OLD VERSIONS INFO INCLUDING WHAT USERS HAVE WHAT CARDS!!!!

Okay, now that the warning is done....

Attached is the zip, don't forget to grab the zip of extra images from the second post in this thread. All the bugs I could find have been sufficiently whipped to submission.. hopefully you all won't give me headaches with problems installing this

Enjoy!

Cyricx · #**138** 03-24-2006, 06:37 PM

bah! bug found in deleteing matches from the admincp.. fails on the extract cards function. I'm trying to fix it now =/

hobbes747 · #**139** 03-24-2006, 09:15 PM

I know you're working on a bug, but I'm too excited about this. :nervous:

I'm having a whole ton of problems with the sql part of the product. :surprised:

Edit: Might want to remind people to set the permissions.
There aren't enough arguments for line 405 in triad_main.php for the construct_page_nav function.

DS MrSinister · #**140** 03-27-2006, 04:31 PM

Cyricx have you fix the bug yet?

forte · #**141** 03-27-2006, 06:46 PM

Any plan to separate the 3.5.x hack from the 3.0.x? Anyways, I'll see if I can find any other bug.
