Upgraded but had to Revert
Using Jamroom

Hi Michael,

When I say "overwrites" I probably mean it in a different way than a programmer uses the term. I mean what I see post-upgrade, isn't what I see pre-upgrade.

Quote: The {jrSiteBuilder_menu} is around line 16. The reason your seeing your other menu items disappear is because its wrapped like this:

In the Network skin (Ninja clone used in some profiles and admin section) it is coded (pre-upgrade) starting at line 6:


       {* Site Builder *}
            {if jrCore_module_is_active('jrPanel') && jrCore_module_is_active('jrMenu') && jrCore_module_is_active('jrWidget')}
                {jrMenu_display active=$menu_url}
            {else}


In the Terminator Skin (Nova clone) which is the active skin (used for the home page) there is no (zero) site builder coding (pre upgrade).

After upgrade the homepage disappears from both menus and is replaced by an old page I hard coded with a radio iframe. That's what appears at /index (post upgrade). I can't find the "real" homepage post upgrade.

I have not looked into how the code is altered (or added to) by the upgrade in either skin. I just briefly took a look at what was messed up, and when I couldn't find my homepage, reverted since this is a "live" network.

Also, you are seeing prices at http://indiegospel.net/bundles because I reverted to sitebuilder 1. When I switch to site builder 2 (post upgrade), that's when those prices disappear.

Upgraded but had to Revert
Using Jamroom

Hi Michael,

Sorry for the ambiguity, it's difficult to describe.

I'm using the admin skin module. The old site builder is active in profiles (Ningja clone), not the active skin (old Nova clone).

That's fine because I don't want to use or modify the Nova clone further. I just want to find a way to duplicate it's homepage in Ningja, so I can fully get into (what became) the supported Ning skin.

*********

The new site builder puts menu and edit controls in the active skin (old Nova clone) and overwrites my hand coded menu (old site builder didn't affect any of that).

That's not so bad, but I can't find important things like my home page to relink them. It is replaced by something else (an embedded radio page I had made previously) and I don't know how to get my homepage back.

I also noticed some of my marketplace stuff like bundles (built with the old site builder) is missing prices after the switch - http://indiegospel.net/bundles

*********

I emphasize "old" Nova clone because it was cloned before the updates to make skins compatible with the site builder were instituted, so that may be part of the problem.

If you want to switch the site builder on my network yourself and see what happens, pick a time that's late in North America and see for yourself. Just don't leave it in that condition for long, as the site becomes unusable and unrecognizable to members.

Upgraded but had to Revert
Using Jamroom

I tried it and was able to upgrade the site builder and pass the integrity check.

However, I was forced to revert because I lost my home page and my menus were seriously screwed up. I couldn't even find pages to relink them.

Also, some of the stuff in the marketplace I built with the old sitebuilder were missing prices. That's probably just a difference in how the code is interpreted?

***********

Possibly, the main issue is that I am running two skins through the admin skin module, and your process doesn't account for that?

Also, I am running several permutations of the Ningja skin (in profiles) using the profile tweaks module. Maybe this is not anticipated either?

I ended up in this condition because I was started off (as the first Ning migrant) in a Nova skin (still used as my active skin) and changed to Ningja in the admin and profile sections, due to the course Jamroom later took in development.

It's beyond my technical ability to switch the active skin to Ningja, and still retain what I now have, in terms of functionality and aesthetics.

So at this point I don't see a path forward.

Hi Steve,

I just tested again but it is still not working. The tool inserts the code but it does not render. I see no error message, just a non existent (blank) entry. This is what Brian said about it.

"There were recent changes to the Embedded module - unless Ultrajam has specifically updated their maps module to work with the new way the embedded module works, it will not work. You will want to confirm with Steve that it has been updated. It it has not, it's not something we can fix (it's not our module to support)."

cri error cannot copy constructionkit template to cache
Using Jamroom

Hi Michael,

What I found was that a page I made with the old system was not showing when logged in (would flash briefly and revert to edit view).

Closing the site builder didn't work, it remain the only view possible except for a brief flash of the saved view on refresh.

Then I made a new menu tab, and somehow doing that made the old page on a different tab work correctly.

Now I can switch from edit view to saved view by closing the site builder.

However, I am confused about the numbering on the editors (see attached).

Are they 3 different version levels or simply an indication of what column the same version of the editor is being used in?

Ah - I tried again following your instructions "to the letter". This time my menu survived.

I think the issue was I disabled the old modules myself before instead of letting the integrity check do it.

However, it seems like content I made with the old system is missing even though the pages are still linked and available - investigating.

Hi Guys,

I tried upgrading to the new site builder on my development site yesterday, and I also saw my previous menu entries disappear.

That site is using only one skin the Ningja, and has no mods, so the issue seems to be inherent.

The development site is in Jamroom hosting here - http://owendoorg.jamroomhosting.com/home

Updates Causing Issues?
GoogleMaps

Hi Steve,

I identified part of the problem. I made a new key at Google and experimented. If I leave it blank (allow all referrers) embedded maps work.

It doesn't work if I put the URL of my network, though it used to. I moved to Jamroom hosting so perhaps that has something to do with it?

So now embedded maps are working again but not those made by the editor tool. I tried to PM you, but you are apparently not following me, as your name does not appear in the list.

Do you have an e-mail where I can PM the login credentials?

I've checked but everything seems to be in order as far as I can see (see attached screenshot).

However, maps, picture editing, and youtube (version 3) are not working.

Evidence is mounting that I have a larger issue, but I'll send you a login on Monday - thanks.

Hi Steve,

I still have no maps and you didn't answer my last question.

If I PM you my log-in, would you take a look around and see if you can find the problem?

Should I send it?
