[given up] No menu items after upgrade from 1.5.4mle to 1.6.1mle

Hallo,
I don't seem to be able to upgrade my 1.5.4 mle installation to the 1.6.1:
The old one works perfectly.... no errors so far on it.
To upgrade I've downloaded the base mle package from the Forge. Unpacked it, copied it over the old files.
Ran upgrade.php ... worked without error.
Then changed $config['set_names'] = true; in config.php.
I then tried to update config_lang.php from the admin interface ( which didn't quite work)... so I edited by hand like so:
Code: Select all
$hls = array(
'de_DE' => array(
'locale_cms'=>'de_DE',
'block'=>'de',
'parent'=>'de_DE',
'flag'=>'<img src="http://siedlungcms.local/uploads/lang/de.png" style="border:0;opacity:1;" alt="Deutsch" title="Deutsch" />',
'text'=>'Deutsch',
'locale'=>'de_DE.UTF-8'
),
'en_US' => array(
'locale_cms'=>'en_US',
'block'=>'en',
'parent'=>'en',
'flag'=>'<img src="http://siedlungcms.local/uploads/lang/us.png" style="border:0;opacity:1;" alt="English" title="English" />',
'text'=>'English',
'locale'=>'en_US.UTF-8'
),
'pl_PL' => array(
'locale_cms'=>'pl_PL',
'block'=>'pl',
'parent'=>'pl',
'flag'=>'<img src="http://siedlungcms.local/uploads/lang/pl.png" style="border:0;opacity:1;" alt="Polski" title="Polski" />',
'text'=>'Polski',
'locale'=>'pl_PL.UTF-8'
),
);
So far so good....
Now in the admin interface where I normally edit my pages all the German pages have menu entries displayed. The English ones haven't and nor have the Polish..... How do I get them back ( They are in the database.... I've checked that).
Together with this problem of course no site can be displayed in front-end view ( = what the user would see). No menu-item displayed there either
What have I been missing?
Has anybody had a similar problem and can help me solve it?
Thanks so much
Cherry

You must upgrade your config_lang via Global Settings > MLE languages (extended must be enabled)
Test your MLE DB (however it's a simple testing) in Global Settings > MLE settings

...that's what I tried first ... but didn't work
. I then decided to edit by hand.
(extended must be enabled)
where do I find that?
Test your MLE DB
I did that prior to writing here. The test said it's ok.
I guess my problem has something to do with all these locale strings .... not sure about those.
Has anybody successfully upgraded their installation and can help?
Meanwhile will have to stick to 1.5.4 mle

The differences from 1.6 and 1.6.1 is that 1.6.1 has (for default) extended already enabled (look 1.5.4 for README.FIRST.extended)
Try to reupload admin/siteprefs*.php and admin/templates/siteprefs.tpl and check with firebug addon (for FF) if you have error in javascript

I think I'll give up here
I can update from 1.5.4 to 1.6
Everything works fine .... after having made those few GCB changes .
As soon as I copy the 1.6.1 files over it ... nothing works any more.
The menu entries as well as the page-contents are lost.
Everything is there in the database.... but won't show.
Hope for a working 1.7 ....and leave it 1.6 for that time.

In 1.6 have you upgraded in Global Settings > MLE languages?
Or in 1.6.1 enable debug in config.php and look for errors

You are not alone, Cherry!
I have the same problems after upgrading from version 1.6 to 1.6.1.
During the update process there were no error messages.
But the menu items in the
front end have vanished and in the
back end I have the same trouble with the English and Spanish language - therefore I went back to the previous version.

Good to know --- thanks for telling me.
I've tried again and again ... but it just doesn't work. No error messages. But a broken system.
Works fine till 1.60. After copying the 1.6.1 files over it ... evrything is broken. I've even downloaded the package again in case it was damaged. But no change. So hopefully a later version will work again. Until then ... 1.60 is my friend

How can I revert back to CMS 1.6 and MLE 1.6 after having upgraded to 1.6.1?
I am in the same situation as yours.

Put the 1.6 folder/files in root and run /install/upgrade.php...

Thanks. This is for CMSMS, and what for MLE?

But of course do a full backup, folders/files and DB...

Hello,
I made a backup of the files with a ftp-program and saved the data of the MySQL-database with the program "MySQLDumper".
As I realized that the version 1.6.1. didn't work, I deleted the files on the server, uploaded the saved files and restored the database with MySQLDumper.
Now the version 1.6 works fine again ... and please excuse my English.
Saludos

Once restored the 1.6 version, isn't possibile to apply security patches for 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 in the base CMS-MS, without applying patches for the broken MLE?
