Thanks for your reply at github, ZiNgA BuRgA.
May as well release an update to fix a long standing bug...
v1.63:
- fix bug when creating/modifying an image file field that has no thumbnails specified (thanks to
brad-t for finding)
thanks for new release, Yumi
Hi everyone,
I have a problem with the latest update. I uploaded the new files and overwrote the old ones. In the admin CP I was told the following: "You have uploaded a newer version of XThreads, v1.63, however the version currently installed is v1.62. You may need to perform an upgrade for your board to be functional - to perform an upgrade, please click here."
So I clicked on "here" and received: "XThreads successfully upgraded."
So far everything seemed to be ok, but after every reload I'm told again to perform the upgrade no matter how often I did it before.
I've tried deactivating and reactivating, I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I even kicked all the XThreads files out of the FTP and reuploaded everything but I still have the same problem.
I had downloaded the plugin a while ago but I didn't really use it so I can't tell you if it worked correctly before the update.
Do you have any suggestions?
Make sure you've got correct writable permissions, in particular, all files in the cache/ directory should be writable by the webserver.
Silly me... i gave the rights to the folder but the files had the wrong rights... thanks a lot!
XThreads and MyBB1.8
Is XThreads likely to be compatible with the upcoming 1.8? I did try a test install on my localhost using the feature code available from the Github repo and though the admin area (adding threadfields, forum controls) seemed to work and show thread is fine forumdisplay gave an error message.
I realise that until the code is released there is not a great deal you can work with (if the code keeps changing it is a waste of your time) but I just thought I would ask if you planned to support XThreads for 1.8 installs.
I generally don't mind making fixes for development versions so much, as long as it's not difficult.
I haven't seen the changes in the current dev 1.8, but from memory, the main announced thing would be jQuery replacing Prototype (which is a client side thing and doesn't really affect XThreads much).
XThreads does go beyond the scope of the MyBB plugin interface, so it's expected that changes would break something. Maybe I'll take a look at it some day.
Thank you, that is good to hear. I am not very skilled at php, but it does seem something is changed in the forumdisplay code of 1.8, perhaps the position of the hook? I saw in your XThreads code comments that you thought the hook was in a funny place; maybe they moved it.
ZiNgA, is it possible to filter by whether the thread is stuck, or if it is closed?
I'd assume that it's filterxt_closed and filterxt_stuck, but I'm not sure.
