Geeklog Forums

I'm running Geeklog version 1.3.9sr1 which came with my hosting plan. For whatever reason, the version of Static Pages that came with it is 1.0. Is there a an upgrade version of 1.4? If not, where can I get 1.4 and how hard is it to uninstal 1.0 and install 1.4? I'm pretty new to encoding php.

Thanx in advance for the help.

Assuming you have access to the php files, just download Geeklog 1.3.9.sr2 and do an upgrade.

Updating only the Static Pages plugin isn't easy, unfortunately. The problem is that all the updates of the plugin's table structure are done when updating Geeklog (i.e. by running the install script in update mode). But since the rest of Geeklog is already up to date, you can't simply run the install script.

Your best bet is probably to uninstall the plugin (which means that you would lose all your static pages!) and then installing it again. Both can be done from the "Plugins" entry in the Admin's block.

Thanx for the help guys. I got it upgraded but it still wouldn't run the scripts that I was trying to run so I'm giving up on using geeklog and every other portal system for that matter. I've tried 6 different portals and none of them will run my scripts. *shrugs*...guess it's back to hand coding everything.

Maybe a reason to keep even the integrated plugins a little further separated...? Or is this in the works?



Cheers,

Euan

You must be doing something wrong then. There are several ways to integrate existing scripts into Geeklog. Using PHP in static pages may not be the best way, especially for complex scripts.

They are still pretty much independent. The only thing missing is a separate upgrade option.

If you know of a way to make it work I'm all ears. Everytime it gets to the part where it calls from the database it goes haywire for me. Might it be that I'm calling from a db other than geeklogs?

Often, all you'll have to do is add a few lines of Geeklog's code to your existing scripts:



Geeklog's database handling shouldn't interfere with your code.
