Issue: Fatal error during upgrade (2.0.0 -> 2.3.2)

I responded to your PM, to the following effect:

Download the ZIP again and replace vault/install/upgrade_212.php.
Navigate to: /vault/install/upgrade_212.php?step=2 to continue your upgrade.

Thank you - I'm continuing the conversation via pm. (Is that the best place for this kind of question?)

Not exactly. We encourage conversations that don't include login details to be posted here. If they involve bug reports or feature requests, it's better to post them in the forum below this on the home page.

In your PM you mentioned that you got the invalid namespace ID global error message. As of 2.1.0, the setting it refers to no longer uses the forum ID, but instead the 0 - 6 numbers on the left column of the Namespace Manager. In most cases, this number should be set to 6.

Once that's done, I recommend checking each of the namespaces in the Namespace Manager to be sure that the correct forum is still associated with each namespace. When this is all okay, click "Rebuild All Namespaces" at the bottom of the Namespace Manager.

There are a lot of new tools to check out since 2.0.0, so you may benefit from having a look at the VaultWiki Manual, especially since I know some of the settings have changed.

After you finish, please report back what additional steps you have had to take that were not covered by the upgrade script, so we can try to improve the early-version upgrade portions. I suspect that a number of folks will be trying the same kind of multiple-version upgrade as you when 2.5 is released later this week.

OK - error message gone, main forum accessible.

But...

• the urls of all pages have changed - from /showwiki.php?title=WikiWing:Hexagram+Index to /showwiki.php?title=Hexagram+Index . Since there are lots of links, and people set bookmarks etc, it'd be nice if I could change this back somehow (is that part of the .htaccess thing?)
• the tag for internal linking to articles isn't working (doesn't create links, just displays [wikiwing]...[/wikiwing] on the page)
• the styling in the articles is fried - is there a way to import what I had? (It used just to be in a single CSS file, didn't it? Could you remind me what that was called?)

I guess there's still something wrong with namespaces. The attachment is what I see on the namespace manager page; I've set it to '6' in options as you suggested.
Attachment 616

The old URLs should 301 redirect to the new URLs, so bookmarks should still work (once you fix your namespaces).

Your problem with the mixed up titles occurs when the original forum ID settings didn't have unique values. I have tried to account for this in the upgrade files now, though it probably would still require user intervention at the end if someone else did this.

Visit the Namespace Manager and edit those namespaces, top to bottom, so the titles are
1: Special
2: Template
3: Help
4: Header
5: Book
6: WikiWing

For #6 WikiWing, change the BB-Code Tag to 'wikiwing'.

The styling no longer uses the CSS file. Visit the AdminCP -> CES VaultWiki -> Wiki Style Manager -> Wiki CSS to make your changes. You should really only add colors and such here, as all the margins and padding are hard-coded so the layout doesn't break. You can refer to your file vault/special.css for help.

Much better, thanks. The links are working again. Two problems left as far as I can see now - the styling (aaarrggh... what happened to the elegant Ajax navigation between article, discussion, editing etc? all gone...) and the addition of a bunch of extra buttons to the 'edit' box. How can I remove/edit those? (Especially, how can I remove them from all the rest of the forum?)

You can remove them from the wiki or forum editor using the options in AdminCP -> CES VaultWiki -> Wiki Code Manager.

You may have to revert a number of templates to fix the styling. It should say "you have x outdated templates" at the top of your AdminCP Home.

Got it - two reverted templates later, I have the Ajax back.

I really like the code manager - I remember spending ages before trying to edit code I didn't understand to remove and change images. Much easier!

Quick style questions - where do I edit

• the font size (it's shrunk with the upgrade)
• the background and link style for the tab links (there's no visual clue that they're links and no 'tab' outline any more)
• the background colour for the article

?

Thanks!
