Title: 2.3.3 package says "will upgrade from 2.3 to 2.3.2 for SMF 1.1"
Post by: Akitao on January 25, 2011, 12:48:24 PM: 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 !!

I'm going to assume that the package will install correctly. I will bring this to the attention of the devs.

Post by: Akitao on January 27, 2011, 03:54:00 AM: 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" ???

Post by: AngelinaBelle on January 27, 2011, 04:59:40 PM: 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?

Post by: Akitao on January 28, 2011, 01:40:30 PM: 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 ? :

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

Post by: AngelinaBelle on January 28, 2011, 02:29:00 PM: 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.

Post by: Akitao on February 01, 2011, 01:19:59 PM: 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:
Quote
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 ?

Post by: AngelinaBelle on February 01, 2011, 02:58:29 PM: 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.
