Geeklog Forums

I've tried to upgrade from BETA 1 and the installation still ignores the site_name and site_slogan parameters.

But more importantly, I got this message:


When I go to the site, I get this error:


Keep in mind I use MySQL:


Finally, thanks for getting rid of the hardcoded text-align! Geeklog is once again multilingual.

That may have been badly worded. I wanted to point out that upgrades from versions prior to 1.5.0 don't work with MS SQL but that they do with MySQL.

We had to change the name of the "open" column in the polls plugin to "is_open" due to it being a reserved word in MS SQL. You'll have to make that change manually or start over from scratch. Remember, this is a beta version and you were told not to run it on a production site just yet ...

The bit about site_name / site_slogan is not going to change.

I guess it means:

But is there anything else that changed in the database?


Why?

Now that I ran that SQL command, I see the site. But I see Gibberish and only non Unicode languages in the language selection box.

It's because the new siteconfig.php has kept the default $_CONF['default_charset'] = 'iso-8859-1'; instead of $_CONF['default_charset'] = 'utf-8'; It should have changed automatically like in BETA 1. Just like $_CONF['path'] was somehow changed from the default.

There was a minor change for the sort order of the config options for the Polls plugin that's probably not worth patching. The order of the options is still the same, but two of them had the same sort_order value. Shouldn't matter in practice.

Nevertheless, what is the relevant SQL line to fix this?

Also, what about the lack of detecting UTF-8 by default? Would it happen again whenver one upgrades from a 1.5.0+ version?
