First of all- Hi to all - Newbie on tour ^^
Now...sorry to say, but I cannot "update" my profile information for some reason,
I've tried a few times :(
My version of the forum is 1.1.12 - not 1.1.2 - but the version for the SP is right 2.3
So I downloaded the latest version - 2.3.3 and uploaded it into the forum (Package Manager)
-please excuse, if I might not explain this properly...still new to all this ;)

Now, my first question to the picture above is... why does it say at row 5. and 6. that those are "older" versions ??
As I read in the download section from you, I should be able to upgrade to this newest version (2.3.3)
For users that are currently running SimplePortal 2.3, 2.3.1 or 2.3.2; you can upgrade to 2.3.3 using the SimplePortal 2.3.3 installation package
..when I hit the refresh button (aktualisieren) - my board is in german language -
then appears this:

Well, I hesitate now to hit the install button, cause it says above that this will upgrade the simple portal
to 2.3.2 ??? ?
Or should I upgrade to previous versions before ?
Sorry again- but I'm all confused ^^
And (!!) - do I have to deinstall the sp before ??
Thanks for help and anyway..
I've been reading all morning here and I appreciate your work here !!
-
It looks as though something is confusing the Package Manager. There may be something in there that says "2.3.2".
I'm going to assume that the package will install correctly. I will bring this to the attention of the devs.
-
Thank you very much in advance ! :)
Just in case...if it's helpful, I can sure give you the adress to my forum
-
Excuse me please for posting this here...
but as I said in the shout box:
Sorry, AngelinaBelle - but I can't answer you via personal message
- neither update my profile.
You asked me, which post I meant with "unapproved"...
well, that's fine now, I meant this one.
That might have happened, due to my different time zone ;)
If you have any answers to me for my problem with the SP -
plz dont hesitate - it will help me a lot !
I might just try to install the new SP - regardless - if it shows there a previous version...
but I still need to know, if I have to uninstall the old SP before... ??
-plus - the language pack "Simple Portal-German" 2.3.1" ???
-
I think the new SimplePortal Package will install properly.
It is never a bad idea to uninstall the previous package.
If uninstalling is a problem, the same area of code (modified by another mod) could also cause a problem for the upgrade path.
Why not get as far as the "test" phase and find out?
-
Ok... I will test around ^^
So I hope I will do the right thing, with uninstalling the old package,
then install the new SP.
Could you please explain to me this sentence of yours a little better ? :
If uninstalling is a problem, the same area of code (modified by another mod) could also cause a problem for the upgrade path.
Sorry, I'm not THAT firm with the englisch language :(
Thanks in advance and I will let you know later, how my test will turn out
-
I am sorry. Your English is so good, I did not think to write more simply.
Uninstalling should work. If uninstall does not work, then upgrade may be a problem for the same reason.
Sometimes, it is best to uninstall all mods in the reverse order to how you installed them.
If you have more questions, I will try that again.
-
I've tested - and failed I guess :(
I deinstalled the old versions - meaning, the old SP plus the language pack
- then installed the new version of SP and the new language pack.
I can log in the forum, I also see the Simple Portal - BUT ...
I cant reach the administration area any more :'(
This is what it says:
Template Parse Error !
/Themes/default/languages/SPortalAdmin.german.php (Template or language file)
syntax error, unexpected T_STRING
Sorry, but what should I do- where is the mistake ?
-
Sorry. I should have left a note about the split topic.
It seems like you solved your initial problem, then found a bug in the German language pack.
