CMS Made Simple Forums

Over the weekend I upgraded a site from 1.2.7 to 1.4.1. I followed all the instructions in the upgrade procedure including running the upgrade.php script. It reported that I had an older version of the schema and needed to update it to 1.3.1 version, which it also did without visible errors.

However now that I am logged into the system I see various problems.

1. There are several labels missing. For instance on Content->Pages listing, the Type field just reads " --Add Me - contenttype_content --" or "--Add Me - contenttype_sectionheader --". Also a couple of items in the site admin menu read "--Add Me - systeminfo --" and "--Add Me - system_verification--"
[I've verified that this text is in the admin/lang/en_US/admin.inc.php file and have compared this file to a new 1.4.1 distribution]

2. The CMS link button is missing the TinyMCE editor toolbar, so I have no way to link to other pages within the CMS or edit existing self-links.
[UPDATE:Following other threads in the forum, I was able to the above. Settings TinyMCE to defaults did not work. I have to uninstall and reinstall the module and that seemed to fix it.]

3. The order in which CSS files are processed no longer seems to match the order in which they were associated with the template. For instance in a sample listing I have css files A and B associated with a template in that order. But when rendered it looks like the order is not being respected so any overrides in B are being ignored.

Except for the CSS problem above, the site itself seems to be working ok. I've not yet clicked around too much in the Admin panel, so am not sure what else is missing.

Any help tracking down these issues is much appreciated.

Thanks,

UPDATE:
The labels missing issue was because the new install was still pointing to an old copy of admin directory. This happened because I had originally renamed the admin directory (for security reasons) and had updated the config file to reflect the change. The new install wrote out a new admin directory instead of reading the config.php to register the customization. So I simply removed the old directory, renamed the new admin to the custom name and all the labels are working and happy again!

I am still faced with the peculiar problem where the CSS files are being rendered in an order different that in which I associated them with the template. Is there a fix for this?

Thanks,
S

FINAL UPDATE:
I did not notice that the template->CSS window had a way to sort (or reset) the order in which CSS files are associated to a template. This was due to the previous problem whereby some labels were missing due to a badly named admin directory. Initially I reset the order directly in the database, but later when I realize availability of the sorting mechanism in the admin panel, I tried it out and sure enough, everything is back to normal.

Hope all this information is useful to someone someday!
