CB Upgrade

  • CB Upgrade

    Posted 17 years 7 months ago
    • Does anyone know how to do a CB upgrade? I have been having a heck of a time and really need some help. I am trying to update to a new secure version and am not having an easy time. ???

      I am using the following joomla version: Joomla! 1.0.12 Stable

      And I am using the following version of CB: 1.0.2 and would like to upgrade ti 1.1

      I have posted on joomlapolis with hardly any luck.

      Any help would be appreciated.

      Thanks,
      William

    • There is some upgrade instructions packed with the zip file. Last time I checked, this was enhanced to explain all the parts.

    • I went through the instructions and did what was supposed to be done. I installed the update with a success. But when I went back to the configuration page it showed version 1.0.2 and not version 1.1. I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling with the same problem. When I tried to update the CBlogin and others I got an error that it had failed. It stated the files were already the when in fact they were not. I had unistalled them prior to reinstalling the updated files.

      I did try to go through the documentation, but in truth I am not a coder so some of it is a little confusing to me. I don't want to have to mess the database, because that is really out of my league. I just don't now if some tables have to be dropped and if they do, I just don't know how to do that.

    • The system should be okay when you uninstall all CB extenstions, and add every one latest version.

      Is there not a sql upgrade file somehow? I am off to bed, but will check back at you tomorrow..

    • I did not see a sql upgrade. That doesn't mean it did not have one, I just didn't see it. I really need to get this fixed as it is messing up on the registrations to my site.

    • Here are the documentation:
      www.joomlapolis.com/content/view/2542/37/
      0) If upgrading from a version BEFORE very old CB 1.0 beta 3, backup the
      components/com_comprofiler/avatars directory.
      They will be deleted when you uninstall Community Builder.
      This first step is NOT needed for upgrade from CB beta 4, RC1, RC2,
      1.0 or later

      1) If upgrading from any previous version you may want to make a copy of
      your configuration file:
      administrator/components/com_comprofiler/ue_config.php
      and of your language file and/or cb template if you modified them.

      IMPORTANT As for any installation, specially for 1.0.13 and CB 1.1:
      BACKUP FIRST your database and files.

      2) If upgrading from any previous version, check in joomla/mambo installer
      that the directories are writable first.
      Then uninstall Community Builder (comprofiler).
      NOTE: Don't uninstall CB plugins (this will keep their parameters).
      This WILL NOT DELETE:
      - any data in the database
      - any parameters for fields, tabs, plugins, user data;
      - images from CB beta 4, RC1 and RC2 are not deleted.
      But IT WILL DELETE additional CB plugin program files only (not their
      parameters). That's why you will need the CB plugin installers.
      IMPORTANT: You will need to REINSTALL these CB plugins later at last
      step.
      WARNING: Some third-party CB plugins come with modules and/or mambots
      which do not test for the CB plugin being installed, which can
      result in errors or blank screens. If you don't reinstall the
      corresponding CB plugin you may need to unpublish or uninstall
      the corresponding modules and/or mambots.

      3) Install comprofiler.zip as a component.
      NOTE: In Joomla 1.5, you need to set legacy mode to ON in the legacy
      plugin settings before being able to installand run CB 1.1 on Joomla 1.5.
      NOTE: PHP Safe mode must be off for component and plugins installation
      in Joomla! 1.0.x and Mambo.

      4) Install mod_cblogin.zip as a module.

      IMPORTANT if you use the core Joomla or Mambo login module the
      users will become out of sync with community builder.

      NOTE: Go to Joomla/Mambo Admin->Components->Community Builder->Tools
      And use the synchronize users tool to synchronize your user
      database if this happens.

      NOTE: if upgrading you need to uninstall mod_comprofilerlogin or
      mod_cblogin452 or mod_cbloginRC2 or mod_cblogin and install the
      new mod_cblogin, as it contains added security needed by CB.

      5) Install mod_comprofilerModerator.zip as a module
      (Optional Module, only needed if using moderator features).

      NOTE: if upgrading you need to uninstall and reinstall
      mod_comprofilerModerator.

      6) Enable the cblogin login module (CB Login), and other CB modules
      from the administration backend (go to modules->site modules then
      click on publish red cross or click on module name to set params).

      IF UPGRADING PLEASE SKIP TO STEP 12 BELOW.

      IF FIRST INSTALL, CONTINUE HERE:

      7) Disable the Standard Joomla/Mambo Login Module. To do that, go to the
      administration backend (go to modules->site modules then click
      on the green publish checkmark of "Login form (mod_login) so that
      it becomes a red cross).
      8) Add a new user menu item for the comprofiler component
      (this will be the users profile page).
      For this, go to menu -> user menu, click New, select component,
      then Community Builder (com_comprofiler), give a name and save.
      9) Add a new user menu item as a Link-URL and point it to
      index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=usersList
      (this will be the searchable users list).
      Note: if you make the menu being the first of the main menu it will
      become the site's homepage.
      10) Go to Joomla/Mambo Admin->Components->Community Builder->Tools
      And use the "Synchronize users" tool to synchronize CB with Joomla.
      or Mambo.
      11) Go to Joomla/Mambo Admin->Components->Community Builder->Tools
      And use the "Load Sample Data" tool to pre-populate fields with
      standard user contact fields (address, phone, etc).

      12) If you want to allow registrations only through Community Builder
      (recommended):
      - in Admin->Components->Community Builder->Configuration->Registration:
      set "Allow User Registration" to "yes, independently of global site setting"
      - in Admin->Site->Global Configuration->Site(Joomla 1.0/Mambo) or ->Users (Joomla1.5):
      set "Allow User Registration" to "No".

      IMPORTANT: Check your registration page: the ordering of tabs is
      now better respected for registrations too, so tabs may have moved
      to previous versions. Typically, username is not anymore mandatorily
      the first field on the registration page. The new ordering is now:
      a) registration ordering of tab (new: can be set in "edit tab")
      b) position of tab on user profile (top-down, left-right)
      c) ordering of tab on position of user profile
      d) ordering of field within tab position of user profile.

      13) If upgrading from a version prior to 1.0 beta 3 place all the
      images that were once in components/com_comprofiler/avatars into
      images/comprofiler/ directory.

      14) Community Builder is delivered with default language (English)
      plugin preinstalled. For additional languages you will need
      additional plugins. Language is auto-selected accordingly to site.
      These can be downloaded from www.joomlapolis.com

      15) Install additional plugins that you had before upgrading or check
      out additional plugins available at www.joomlapolis.com
      NOTE: plugins which have their parameters memorized by CB, but
      have missing program files are displayed in plugin list
      without clickable title-name, and with a barred plugin name.
      These will be displayed normally and usable again once
      plugin is installed again. If you don't wish to do so, you
      can delete the plugin parameters by selecting delete.

      16) Done !
      Since CB 1.0.2, optimized connection paths allow to turn them on
      in CB config now.

      Known problem: a blank screen or error of language file on homepage
      after upgrade can be due to cb.invite mambot (just unpublish mamobt or
      reinstall the CB invite plugin).

    • Looking in the component section of the admin/installers it show the CB being 1.1, but when you go to the configuration of CB it shows 1.0.2 - weird.

      I am going to go back through the entire upgrade and try again. The information you provided above was the same I got in the zip from the upgrade package.

      Thanks

    • Everything is also showing green and writeable in the installer section. Just it cause you wondered.

    • Okay, I got the CB to upgrade and is now showing version 1.1

      Question? I also finally got the mod_cblogin to work, but when I installed it it showed that it had failed and was already installed when it wasn't. I can see it when I look at the ftp but not when I go to the modules. Does this sound right? I thought I remembered seeing it in the module list before.

    • Go to Installer -> Modules, and remove it there. If not showing, you can locate ut in the modules/ folder. I also think there is a modules/ folder in the administrator/ folder. Look there too..
