[solved] upgrade from 1.6.3 to 1.7

Help with getting the CMS CORE package up and running. This does not include 3rd party modules, PHP scripts, anything downloaded via module manager or from any external source.

[solved] upgrade from 1.6.3 to 1.7

Post by sonroc »

php 5.2.11
I am upgrading a site. And yesterday managed to get to 1.9.3.4 sucessfully - but it fell to pieces at 1.10 upgrade.
So today I started from my last back-up install of 1.7 (having been upgraded from 1.6.3). I emptied the database and import my backup sql file.

Frontend all seems well - backend initially looks good.

The issue is when editing a page the page id parameter doesn't seemed to get passed in the url so when I enter a page to edit it, i get the admin menus/template only and a blank page.

example:
mysite/admin/editcontent.php?sp_=1b49a745&content_id=15&page=

Any ideas what could be causing this?
Would ignoring it and just upgrading to 1.8.0 fix the issue?

Really appreciate support given.

You might as well upgrade to at least 1.9.4.3 as we only support the last 2 releases...

When you got to 1.9.4.3 did you check and make sure all 3rd party modules were updated then try to go to 1.10.3?...

That's really interesting. I think progress has been made to a point.

I have now a 1.9.4.3 working.
The upgrade solved to 1.8 did solve the issues with the pages.

upgrading from 1.9.4.3 to 1.10.3 left the frontend with no stylesheet.
can be view here: http://yawtest.sensorystore.co.uk/

Has the system changed the way stylesheets are applied, as it is no longer serving them to the source code.

Backend seems fine. Checking the update logs would it have something to do with MicroTiny? First time I've come across microtiny is it preferred over tinymce? and could that be effecting my stylesheets?
Thanks

Thanks for encouraging me to take the plunge and try the upgrade again. I now have 1.10.3 installed.
But on the home and the events page for some reason the <head> is not loading. it goes straight to the </__body> tag thus... no stylesheet.
I've made modifications to the templates to now include {cms_stylesheet} and updated teh css image url's. so other pages seem to be working fine. Also the events page uses the default template. so bazeer it's not working.
Any ideas jump to mind?

Sounds like we would need to see the page template code...

It was issues with the components. Once I removed the smarty tags the page loaded fine.
Sorry I had left a post to say this but it doesn't seem to have gone live.

I have an outstanding issue with the uninstalling Calender installing CGCalendar which I have started a new post for.

thanks for you help.
