Upgrade itself seemed to go OK. But front end gave white screen. I cured that with a clear CMSMS cache.

Then I got an Oops screen:

The site uses 4 GCBs.

Now, according to
http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopi ... 82&t=70192
GCBs should still work OK.

There is 1 GCB on the home page which is the page erroring. It is called like this:
{global_content name='Footer'}
in the old non-upgraded version of the site and unchanged in the new beta upgraded version.

When I try to edit the home page template (using DesignManager) I get a white screen when I save.

Here's what it upgraded to:

----------------------------------------------

Other points:

Content Manager shows all pages but with a "** ERROR **" under the Template column for all pages. The Page titles show but they are not clickable so I can't edit Pages.

Site Users Guide: clicks to a white page with just "Main Page".

Archiver doesn't even show properly in the menu - just shows as "-" and this gives blank white screen when clicked.

Product Manager clicks to white page with "Items, Field Definitions ...etc." on left.

Quotes2 clicks to white page with "Quotes, Groups..." on left.

SEOTools2 appears to work OK.

Showtime Slideshow appears to work OK.

Form Builder clicks to white screen.

Happy to try some things on this upgrade if someone can point me in the right direction.

I tested this last night. It is because of the use of smarty by module developers in the constructor of their modules without checking if smarty exists.

Smarty (or rather the CMSMS smarty) does not exist during the upgrade process, so the module(s) generate a fatal error.

I had to correct a bunch of my modules too.
