Used package manager to update 2.0.9 to 2.0.10 - and got the following error
This patch file will provide important stability fixes to your SMF 2.0.9 forum.
Installations actions for "SMF 1.1.21 / 2.0.10 Update"
Installing this package will perform the following actions:
Type Action Description
1. Execute Modification ./index.php Test successful
2. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/languages/index.english.php Test failed
1. Replace ./Themes/default/languages/index.english.php Test failed
2. Replace ./Themes/default/languages/index.english.php Test successful
3. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/scripts/script.js Test successful
This seems to be the only error - I have not progressed the installation.
Would appreciate some help.
Thanks in advance
Also when I go to
Admin > Members > Members >View All Members > I am directed back to the Home Page ??
And just noticed in wordpad...............
Themes/default/languages/index.english.php is version 2.0.7 ????
Replace ./Themes/default/languages/index.english.php Test failed
There should be an clickable icon to the left of that message, which will open a window to show you the text that was being searched for as part of the modification's edit stream.
Thank you
Code: (Find) [Select]
// Version: 2.0.8;
Code: (Replace) [Select]
// Version: 2.0.10;
What to do next ?
As noted earlier - my version is 2.0.7 (something went tits up a few updates ago methinks?)
Is there a downloadable 2.0.8 version I can install so the update can proceed?
Cheers
if you are not on 2.0.9 you can not yet use the package manager upgrade. you should install each one you are missing first. they can be found here http://custom.simplemachines.org/upgrades/
Cheers fella
:D
TBH, seeing as you're already running 2.0.9 and that failed edit is the only thing stopping you, I would simply allow the upgrade to proceed.
But that's just my opinion.
Yup, I edited the file to read version 2.0.8, and altered the copyright date to 2014.
Upgrade worked and showed no errors.
Cheers, and thanks
No, it's the other way around :P
You should update the header to read 2.0.10 and the copyright date should be 2015 ;)

Did he do it before or after he installed the upgrade? I'm guessing before since that would make the upgrade install without errors, right?
Also, what updated the copyright date?
After the upgrade he should only fix the header as it failed. He should only fix the year because he undo'ed it :)
FWIW I had the same problem on my 2.0.9 site, and just ignored the error. So presumably I'll encounter the error moving forward.
The problem seems to be in the package, not on the sites. If the installation is searching for 2.0.8 to replace with 2.0.10, clearing it's not going to find it if you're upgrading from 2.0.9. Seems to me in prepping the 2.0.10 upgrade, they built off the 2.0.9 upgrade and missed this one entry.
So just edit index.english.php and fix the header so it says 2.0.10 ;)

As it was said elsewhere, most people don't find this problem. We still couldn't find exactly where (or when) did the version mismatch occurred but that's not really important :P
It should have happened in 2.0.8 but many members are patching since 2.0 and didn't come across this problem, so...
If the patch is the same and only few people got this problem, then it's not the patch ;D
Had the same errors with 2.0.10 and 2015.
Found
// Version: 2.0.07; index
No idea why it was so old version even though it displayed 2.0.9 in the copyright.
changed to
// Version: 2.0.10; index
Had another error with the 2014 to 2015 line but could not find 2014, found this line
<a href="http://www.simplemachines.org/about/smf/license.php" title="License" target="_blank" class="new_win">SMF © 2015</a>, <a href="http://www.simplemachines.org" title="Simple Machines" target="_blank" class="new_win">Simple Machines</a>';
However the copyright line shows
QuoteSMF 2.0.10 | SMF © 2011, Simple Machines
So where is the 2011 stored? It's not in index.english.php
On another test forum, the update had no errors but the copyright line shows
QuoteSMF 2.0.10 | SMF © 2013, Simple Machines
So was this date supposed to change?
I had the same problems with the version numbers in the files. I suspect a previous update did not correctly update the version numbers or something.
All previous updates worked seamlessly and updated the version number correctly. Only really just noticed the date issue though.
English-utf8, maybe?

Not using utf-8 but the answer was in index.english_british..php Thanks for the crumb.
