vBulletin 4.2.1 - navigation changes

**ricktas** · July 26, 2012

The navigation changes a bit in 4.2.1

See http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-15312
and http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-15023

These fix the navigation table URLs, do this before you upgrade after you have backed up.

Code:

    UPDATE `navigation` SET `url` = REPLACE(`url`,'{options','{vboptions') WHERE `fromusername` LIKE '%{options%';
    UPDATE `navigation` SET `url` = REPLACE(`url`,'{userinfo','{bbuserinfo') WHERE `fromusername` LIKE '%{userinfo%';

Full 4.2.1 changes... http://tracker.vbulletin.com/secure/...equestId=11035

Lovely. This is great because of the consistency with the templating system, but once we change this for 4.2.1, it will screw up everyone's navbars who are still on 4.2.0. Maybe there will be a way to workaround both versions with plugins.

In the mean time, though, it has been mentioned in the Licensed Customer Feedback forum, I believe, that 4.2.1 won't be released until after 5.x is released. In which case, this is either far off or 5.x is really that close.

No, vB4.2.1 will be released once Mobile 1.4 has signed off the API.
vB4.2.1 is ready, subject to Mobile 1.4.
The Mobile team is separate from vB4 or vB5, but the vB4 developers are on vB5 until Mobile 1.4 clears the vB4.2.1 API.
