If you relied on one of the features that had a bug then I could see it being considered as buggy.

I give up.

You won!!

I ran through the upgrade, and it did its thing just fine, but once I loaded up the forum, the fonts were much much larger than before. I tried re-uploading my beta 5 template on top of it, but it made no difference. In the meantime I downgraded back to beta 5, but left RC1 on my local server to tinker with. Before I spend forever trying to track it down myself, does anyone know which files have changed to be causing this?

This is caused by a bug in older versions of Internet Explorer, which even 6 is backwards-compatible with. The fonts will be the correct size in other browsers, or in "standards compliance" mode.

Anyway, what you need to do is open your index template (probably Themes/converted/index.template.php, etc.) and look for this:

Code Select

// The main sub template above the content.
function template_main_above()
{
	global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt, $modSettings;

	// Show right to left and the character set for ease of translating.
	echo '
<html

Replace it with this:

Code Select

// The main sub template above the content.
function template_main_above()
{
	global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt, $modSettings;

	// Show right to left and the character set for ease of translating.
	echo '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html

This will include the xhtml document type so Internet Explorer will do it correctly.

I gave it a shot, and sure enough, it worked. The ironic part is that I've usually had the doctype tag CAUSE the trouble with font sizes, and ended up removing it from many pages on the site I manage to make them display correctly for everyone.

In any case, I certainly thank you a lot for the help.

hellmaker · August 16, 2004, 08:15:44 AM

yes thanx! it works fine now!

Secret · August 16, 2004, 08:05:12 PM

i get this error where my smilies are supposed to be

 Notice: Undefined index: description in /usr/data2/hosted/secret/forum/Sources/Load.php(1090) : eval()'d code on line 505

i reuploaded the whole sources folder so i dont know what to do now

Burpee · August 16, 2004, 08:30:17 PM

I'm not an expert...
But that sounds more like a problem in your templates than in your sources...

I've finally caught up to the current version, installed RC1 on my live forum with no problems at all, and the users have noticed a speed increase, or they imagine they have if there shouldn't have been.

* ms_ukyankee takes hat off to SMF team.

Thank you!

The software is getting really great - and the last time I tried SMF was beta 5 which is sooo buggy compared to RC1
Which options were so buggy? It worked for me.

well - for a start - the package manager did not work

And I would've told you it didn't work too... it didn't work before Beta 6 at all.

FANTASTIC NEWS on the new SMF 1.0 RC1 release . . . .

Well to start off with I downloaded all 3 versions you have up, reasons for all three . . . . .

1. I am the webmaster of a local Computer Club Site, planning to add the New Install version on that site this week.

2. I have had a TEST copy of the Beta 5 up for members of the below site ever since the Betas were available for us to play with. I will try the Update version on this one.

3. As Webmaster of the Jack Nicklaus Golden Bears Den Web Site for about 4 years now.
That site has been running YaBB-SE 5 for a long time now. And I am going to try the UpGrade version on this Forum.

BUT! I have a question befor I do the UpGrade on the YaBB-SE site.
Below is a link to that so some of the GURU's here can check it out as it is still on YaBB-SE and give me some INPUT on my questions below.

And look how I have added the Template on that forum into a Table on the site and how it displays with my Header and Menu with the original template in the left cell of the table.

My question is when I do the Upgrade on this YaBB-SE 5.5 version to the RC1, will it import all my color sceams and also leave the Header and the Menu on the left side like it now shows, after the upgrade?

Or will it change things around some and I lose some things since it is not the Stock YaBB-SE Template?

Thanks for any INPUT on this befor I start setting any of these new packages in motion.

The SMF upgrader will automatically convert your YaBB SE template for you.

Snuffy · August 18, 2004, 03:29:41 AM

Thaks Dave, I think I ask this once befor in another thread and I tried Upgrading the YaBB-SE with the Beta-5, and had some problems with it.

So we had to revert back to the YaBB-SE version at that time and still on that. But wanted to check and see if maybe in the RC1 that maybe some issues had been maybe adjusted in the conversion of yabb that may make it smoother this time . . . .

I'll give it a whirl soon and see, BUT! will remember the 3 most important things to do first :

1. BACKUP

2. BACKUP

3. BACKUP

Thanks.

I've got a problem where users can't link to external avatars. The setting is checked in the admin area, the width/height is set to 0.
It seems fine for the admin, but for normal users, they can't change it.
Any help would be appreciated
