CMS My Suggestions For People installing vB 4.0

محروم.كوم · #1 12-31-2009, 05:10 AM

First I'd like to thank The vB Team for working with Me on My license issue.

OK, I had a time getting The CMS Suit installed correctly.

If your running a linux system you can backup your system quite easily like this...

1) First cd into the directory where you'd like to store your backup.

2) Then run this command...

Code:
tar -cvzpf myvbbackup.tar.gz /var/www/vhosts/your_domain.com/httpdocs
If you need to restore later just do this...

4) Code:
tar zxf myvbbackup.tar.gz
cd myvbbackup

keep cd'ing into each directory until you get to your forum ( website ) then...

Code:
cp -r * /var/www/vhosts/your_domain.com/httpdocs
Also be sure to make at least two backups of your Mysql database. ( In case one is corrupted )

5) After about 3 FULL restores I finally was able to get my site upgraded.

TIPS:
A) Uninstall "ALL" plugins.
B) Download a freash copy of your current vB Release and upload it to your server over writing everything.
C) Now Upload your new vB 4.0 overwriting everything.

Everything should go well for you now.

6) OK, Now you have everything installed, you well have to fix the smilie issue first. ( Found this here at vB )
To fix it do this...

Quote:
Edit the editor_smilie_row and editor_smilie templates, remove the {vb:raw vboptions.bburl}/ references

Search for those phrases in your "Search in Templates" Styles & Templates Manager.

Now after I turned on debug mode I found alot of templates not caching as they should.
To fix this I just looked in My Plug-in Manager in found a "cache_templates" "Hook Location" and added these to it. ( Don't think it much matters which one you use , and you may not have but one, and it'll be in The "Product : vBulletin Blog" Section. If you haven't installed any plug-ins yet. )

Here's the ones I found not caching.

PHP Code:
$cache[] = 'vbcms_article_css';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_content_article_preview';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_content_section_page';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_content_section_type5';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_grid_5';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_page';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_searchresult_post';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_toolbar';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_widget_categorynavbu_page';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_widget_newarticles_page';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_widget_recentblogposts_page';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_widget_recentcmscomments_page';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_widget_recentforumposts_page';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_widget_sectionnavext_page';

$cache[] = 'editor_clientscript';
$cache[] = 'editor_jsoptions_font';
$cache[] = 'editor_jsoptions_size';
$cache[] = 'editor_smilie';
$cache[] = 'editor_smilie_category';
$cache[] = 'editor_smilie_row';
$cache[] = 'editor_smiliebox';
$cache[] = 'editor_toolbar_colors';
$cache[] = 'editor_toolbar_fontname';
$cache[] = 'editor_toolbar_fontsize';
$cache[] = 'editor_toolbar_on';

$cache[] = 'newpost_attachment';
$cache[] = 'newpost_attachmentbit';
$cache[] = 'newpost_disablesmiliesoption';

$cache[] = 'tagbit_wrapper';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_article_editor';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_content_article_inline';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_content_edit_editbar';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_edit_block';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_edit_metadataeditor';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_edit_page';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_edit_publisher';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_editor_toolbar_on';

$cache[] = 'vbcms_comments_page';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_content_article_page';

$cache[] = 'vbcms_content_section_type1';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_grid_6';

$cache[] = 'vbcms_widget_static_page';

$cache[] = 'vbcms_content_section_type4';
$cache[] = 'bbcode_video';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_content_section_type2';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_grid_1';

$cache[] = 'vbcms_grid_4';
$cache[] = 'vbcms_widget_rss_page';

$cache[] = 'error_message';
$cache[] = 'page';

$cache[] = 'search_threadbit';

You will find more when and if you make new categories, sections, widgets etc... I think in you CMS.

7) To turn "Debug Mode" you can do like I did and add this to your includes/config.php file...
PHP Code:
$config['Misc']['debug'] = ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == 'XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX');

( XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX being you IP Address if you want to be the only seeing the information on your site. )

Almost for-got ! To restore your database easily do this...

Code:
mysql -u yourmysql_username -p thedatabse_name < yourmysqlbackup.sql
It'll prompt you for your passwd...

I Hope this helps someone.

Just thought I'd give something back to the community.

Thanks,

P.S.I make no guarantees ! What works for me may not work for other's.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! __DEFINE_LIKE_SHARE__
