SMF 1.1 Release Candidate 2 is available!

[CountryLady]

I am SO NEW at this... and it was still SO EASY~! 

I did an upgrade to 1.1 RC2 in a mostly empty 1.0.5 test forum, and the directions were right on. Outstanding Job Dev Team~! Where is an applause icon...? LOL

Just a suggestion...
You might want to consider a 'click all below' box at the top of the right-hand column on .../index.php?action=smileys;sa=editsmileys page. It sure would help those of us with LOTS of smilies that need to be either hidden or put into the popup. Its easier to check them all, then uncheck the few that will be shown on the 'Post form'.

The design of the Default style is INCREDIBLE~! I'll be tweaking this to shades of cream, golden and brown, but the design is fresh and friendly. Thank you...Thank you all so much~!

SMF 1.1 RC2 ROCKS THE SOCKS OFF OF EVERYTHING ELSE~!

the plan is that the upgrade from RC2 to 1.1 Final will be an easy one.

Good to hear.

WOOO HOO !!! Just Upgraded!! Awesome... first I upgraded on localhost to make sure it works on the Database, worked perfectly then on my website.

Excellent update (although I cannot get Ajax editing to show up even after applying the FIX mentioned in the other thread)

Apart from me losign the Static Page mod I've managed to get all the other MODS (Googlebot, Spoiler..) to work with RC2.

Thanks to the SMF Team. Great job, the upgrade was ever so smooth...

I couldn't get Ajax to show at first, then realised it was because I hadn't got the image in my custom theme, so of course couldn't see it 

[Teknomancer]

Well I did that, and I still don't even see it on my theme

If you install 1.0.5 then delete the 1 default topic and then convert to 1.1 RC2 it doesn't work.

Damn! Its new year present 
Great Release, Nice Looking "Default Theme"

Upgrading from RC1 to RC2 step-by-step
=========================
- Un-installing all mods
- Change to Default Themes
- Do the Forum Maintenance (Optimize, Repaired etc)
-
- Upload all upgrade files
- Run the "upgrade.php"
- Running process with 27760 Posts in 1759 Topics by 6625 Members. Processing time... 15 minutes on share hosting server
- Done!
- Check everything, seems okay (for a moment)
- Re-installing Mods
- Setting the Themes back to:
  1. Simplicity by BLOC - Looks fine (for a moment)
  2. Blue Jacket by OWDY - Looks fine (for a moment)
  3. Finally, the original Default Nice Theme - Looks great

Amazing...

Really glad you like it! When the team tells you its worth waiting for we are telling the truth.

Well I did that, and I still don't even see it on my theme

Have you got quick moderation turned on in your profile?

That sounds like you need to run a REPAIR on the mentiond table in phpMyAdmin.

Ted_G - search for MaxMsgId

Went to phpMyAdmin -  Optimized all MySQL tables, Repaired all MySQL tables, re-ran upgrade still getting MessageIndex.php error for line 102.

"You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' 2, 1)' at line 3

Bout to take the plunge with RC2 and need some tips on how to backup...

How did you make the template changes, did you modify the "default" theme, or create a new theme.

We highly recommend that you never modify the default theme, but assuming you have I recommend the following:
1) Before upgrading, from the admin panel create a new theme, called "site" or similar
2) Make this theme the default for your site.
3) Any templates that you have manually changed in the default folder, copy into the new theme folder

What this does, is mean that by default SMF uses the templates in your new theme, but if a template doesn't exist it takes it from the default folder.

Now, you've effectively got a backup of all your modified files in your "site" template.

Not following the above.  What exactly should I be doing? I can't find the option to create a new theme in admin panel
(btw I'm not so sure I need to do this anyway, as I have not made any significant changes to my theme...)

Upload a copy of RC2 and upgrade. You'll probably find that all your changes are still there and working fine after the upgrade - it's only if you've modified lots of the core templates like Admin that you may have to update them. As always, take a backup of the whole lot before upgrade so you can go back if needed

What is the most complete way to backup, so that I can fall back to RC1 if needed?

Thanks

@Ted - Please take a look at MySQL Errors with boards in RC2

Admin Panel
Forum Maintenance
Backup Database

(or, if like mine, the database is too big to backup tbrough the Admin panel, back it up in your site's Cpanel - where there should be a simlilar backup database option)

I also, always copy down to my computer, the whole forum directory before an upgrade.

sorry for the english below, i am from russia and i'm no good at it.

I've got some kinda bug on my board. it has appeared after i've upgraded my smf 1.0.5 straight to smf 1.1 rc2. every pic wich actually is a link ("?" buttons smilies, code buttons when replying) is surrounded by a strange bold blue frame. When it's clicked it becomes purple. It seems to me the problem is somewhere inside css style of the theme i'm using (though this stuff appered on two different themes) but i'm weak at css and a:hover and a:visited seem okay to me (different colours are defined there). So, what's the problem? My board link is in my signature.
