Problems upgrading to 3.5

Friday 08 April 2005 9:14:59 am

Hi,

I wanted to upgrade my installation from ezpublish 3.4.1 to 3.5.1, but also am moving hosts, so I upgraded the database to 3.5.1 (that worked fine), and then made a fresh install of ezpublish 3.5.1 on my new hosting account.

I then pointed this fresh installation at my newly updated database.

I have also run the update scripts.

Now, I know the fresh installation recognises my updated database, as I can see all the folders/articles/downloads in both the news and admin interfaces. I can also edit all of these items in the admin interface.

However, the problem is that non of the subitems of folders show up at all in the news siteaccess/design, and when just viewing, although they show up in the admin siteaccess/design - they appear to be empty.

I thought this would be to do with the new is_container in 3.5 - so have run the updateiscontainer.php file for each siteaccess - which seemed to work fine.

Please help...

Tim

and you can test your update with:

<i>Before upgrading eZ publish to a newer version, it is important to check that the current installation is ready for upgrading.

Remember to make a backup of the eZ publish directory and the database before you upgrade.
</i>

<b>File consistency check</b>

<i>
The file consistency tool checks if you have altered any of the files that came with the current installation. Altered files may be replaced by new versions which contain bugfixes, new features, etc. Make sure that you backup and then merge in your custom changes into the new versions of the files.
</i>

<b>Database consistency check</b>

<i>
The database consistency tool checks if the current database is consistent with the database schema that came with the eZ publish distribution. If there are any inconsistencies, the tool will suggest the necessary SQL statements that should be ran in order to bring the database into a consistent state. Please run the suggested SQL statements before upgrading.

The upgrade checking tools require a lot of resources and it may take some time to run them.

</i>
Login in your administration,
Setup->Upgrade Check->File consistency check
and
Setup->Upgrade Check->Database consistency check
there you will find the text above.

OK - I've switched on debug to see if that gives any clues. Here are the errors I get:

<b>Warning: PHP</b>

Undefined variable:  navigationPartIdentifier in /home/primitiv/public_html/kernel/classes/eznodeviewfunctions.php on line 69

listitem.tpl doesn't appear to exist under any of the available designs - so why is it being called?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Tim

<edit>
The PHP error about an undefined variable seems to be a bug that was fixed in ezpublish 3.4.2

Also, listitem.tpl is infact a missing template again fixed in 3.4.2

So I still don't know what the problem is :(

Thanks for your reply again Ekke,

Due to all the missing files etc in 3.4.1, I decided to update to 3.4.2

So almost all the errors are gone in the debug. However, the problem persists. I wasn't planning on moving my old site design across, but I'm going to try that now, and see if I can get the content to show up.

The admin interface shows everything perfectly though - which is the odd part.

Here's the URL if anyone is interested:
http://67.15.145.24/~primitiv/

and just to show that everything does work, but just not showing up. Here is the sitemap - all works ok:
http://67.15.145.24/~primitiv/index.php/plain/content/view/sitemap/2

If anyone has any other ideas, they would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim

OK - I've narrowed the problem down to a single template file. - templates/full/folder.tpl

This is the default full folder view with a fresh ezp 3.4.2 installation, and it does not show any of my subitems (whether folders/articles/ or custom classes).

By removing thhe override to this file in my siteaccess override.ini.php at least I can now see the subitems - allbeit in the basic (admin) layout.

Cheers

Tim

<edit>
I have now finished customising that full_folder tenplate, and everything is finally working :)
