Upgrade problems with uploads module

[daik]

hi all,
I upgaded my cms to the latest version yesterday. In the upgrade I also put in the latest uplodas module. When I first ran my page with uplodas I got an error about some template not being found. I did not worry about it then, and just commented all calls to the uploads module out. I tried to solve it today and this is the message I get today (it is different from yesterday..)

Code: Select all

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /serverpath/tmp/templates_c/Uploads^%%5C^5C4^5C4A1D62%%module_db_tpl%3AUploads%3Bsummaryrpt_Summary.php on line 4

Any suggestions as to where I should start looking and anything that has changed dramatically between uplodas 1.1.14 and 1.3 that may be causing problems for me?

regards
Daniel

try clearing the server cache and see what happens.

I did that, and that particular problem went away. What emerged was somewhat odder.
Now nothing appears at all, I am using the default "summary" template.
I went in and checked the category I wass using, and it had one file listed (it was there before the upgrade). I thought I'd give it a go and upload a new file. The file upload went fine, as far as I can tell. BUT the file is never listed inside the uploads module admin page. I then logged in with ftp and there is the file.

I am begining to sense that it is an upgrade gone a bit wrong. Is there something I can do that would give more information to better diagnose this problem? I am totally at loss. I would prefer not to delete my database tables, but if that is the best way, that is the best way..

I have now managed to solve this problem. Not in the best way I must admit but it seems that it was the only way. I post the solution so that others that may find this thread get the solution as well.
What I did was that I removed the entire installation of the uploads module (uninstall + remove from the modules page).
I then reinstalled it, recreated all my categories and went through and "scan"ed each of the categories so it would pick up the files that were present.

I think this issue arose because I upgraded CMS MS AND uploads in the same ftp session (i.e I did not ugrade CMS MS and then logged in and checked the modules, saw that an update was needed and uploaded the new version). I don't know for sure if this is the case. Either way I have now got it working.

This is the same problem I'm having. Someone suggested checking for DATETIME fields in the database, but mine are correct. I've tried your solution (uninstalling + removing Uploads, installing, creating new category and scanning the category), and mine still isn't working. It's not showing the scanned files. It flashes the file list and then disappears.

Well, mine is working now. I just had to completely delete the categories and re-upload all the files manually.
