UseBB Community

Hey,

I'm trying to upgrade to rc2 from rc1 and i'm getting this error:

E_USER_ERROR - The template configuration variable "forumlist_topic_rtrim_length" does not exist!

I deleted everything and uploaded the new rc2 files?? Did i miss something??

You need to add that template config value to global.tpl.php. Or disable that warning, see http://www.usebb.net/community/topic-656.html.

I have been upgrading from version 0.6 (I think) and have had to consider cosmetic changes to the forum like banner and colours.

The way I have done it up until now is to compare the original files with the new version file - by - file using WinMerge. It's a very slow process, but it shows you which lines of code have been added or altered and also which files are unique with your changes.

Apart from a new images folder (for local storage of avatars), we have made changes to the gfx and smilies folders, plus global.tpl.php and styles.css I have never just copied the old over the new because the newer (global.tpl.php) has more lines of code than the old. Rather, amend the newer version to reflect the settings of the old.

So far, it's worked 100% except for three <br> 's that I had not closed </br> in global.tpl.php and the fact that the new code doesn't like the & (ampersand) in the forum description ( has to be &amp; instead ).

I hope that helps. Oh, we have been running UseBB since September 2005 on Win 2003 Server/IIS/PHP5 and only cant get mod_rewrite to work (windows version).

I guess there is no mod_rewrite alternative for IIS. It only works on Apache or lighttpd.
