2.0.14 fix?

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Upgraded a forum from 2.0.9 to 2.0.14 last night, session check was added to all themes.  Has .14 patch been changed?  What happened to .15?

[Illori]

no the patch has not changed. 2.0.15 will be out when it is ready.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

The package gave me the option to update all installed themes, which it did successfully.  Don't remember ever seeing that before, it always required manual edit in custom themes.

[Illori]

that is a feature of the package manager not of the patch.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Yes, I know, but why has the patch up til now required manual edit of custom themes?

[Illori]

because people dont apply the fix to their themes? other then that i dont know.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

because people dont apply the fix to their themes?

Not to be difficult, but if that were the case, would have made more sense to advise users to uninstall/reinstall patch with theme options checked, rather than tell them to manually edit template code.

actually no...  it is usually simpler, over all, to just edit the one line....

also, the package manager (as always) depends on finding the exact code - many themes will not have that exact code line (with the same spaces, etc)

For you and I, yes, but for many users not so easy.

In which case package manager will display an error, but don't recall any of the many support topics on this problem indicating that's what happened, and didn't see it on any of the many borked forums I worked on.

[Kindred]

That's because 99% of the users won't expand or check the "apply on other themes" button

[Sir Osis of Liver]

I don't see a button, just 'Install in Other Themes" with a list of themes.  That's how it displays on my forums, and the last one I worked on.
