Geeklog 1.3.9rc2

GeeklogThe second Release Candidate for Geeklog 1.3.9 is now available for download.

This version includes fixes for the comments display, install script, and a few other problems as well as some new and updated language files (see the Changelog for a complete list).

If you're upgrading from 1.3.9rc1, please see below for important upgrading information.

There is no upgrade archive available, but the included file docs/changed-files lists all the files that have changed since 1.3.9rc1.

If you're currently running on 1.3.9rc1, you will need to update the comment/comment.thtml template file in all of your themes. There was also a database change that you will have to do manually:

ALTER TABLE gl_blocks CHANGE blockorder blockorder smallint(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '1';

You can either run this SQL request manually (replacing "gl_blocks" with the actual name of your blocks table, if you're using a prefix other than "gl_") or, if you're using phpMyAdmin, you can simply edit the "gl_blocks" table and change the field type for the "blockorder" field from TINYINT to SMALLINT.

Whoops, thanks for spotting this. Fixed in the story now, but I'm afraid that extra " is also in history file ...

bye, Dirk

Dirk, do you think it is possible to release a 1.3.8 to 1.3.9.sql file? This would help my project at http://aeonserv.com by easily updating my current users databases. Otherwise, updating will require a few more steps. May you please look into releasing an sql update file? Thanks!

There is sql/updates/mysql_1.3.8_to_1.3.9.php and additional SQL requests are hard-coded in the install script, since they need some "logic" to be applied.

The updates file is basically just plain SQL (wrapped in an array). But I don't think there's a way to translate what the install script does into "pure" SQL statements (at least not all of it).

Thank you for your time Dirk. The best method for insuring users get the full database update is most important. I will implement the best possible procedure. Thanks!
