1.2 Beta Tips, Tricks, FAQ.

[Jeremy]

Reporting a bug that involves an add-on should be reported to the add-on developer, not XenForo.

new code events


load_class

Called when instantiating a class. This event can be used to extend the class that will be instantiated dynamically. Note that not all classes that are to be instantiated will call this but many will.

notices_prepare

Called before the notices are prepared for display..

template_file_change

Called whenever a template that has been compiled to a file is updated or deleted.

init_router_public

Called before the public dependency manager routes the request. You can use this to manipulate the routing approach.

Can someone keep a list of addons that
(1) conflict with the 1.2 upgrade
(2) break with the 1.2 upgrade

I don't think this is the thread for that.

But I did start my own list here of what I found.
http://xenforo.com/community/thread...eir-live-site-to-1-2.51644/page-9#post-566031

People are welcome to continue it in that thread.

Just for the reference because i'm using only this thread for track of the important changes^^

What's now the best way to change the indexpage? Just call setIndexRoute('myNewRoutePrefix')?
Or use the routefilter?

You can set any route as the index via the options now (or via XenForo_Link::setIndexRoute).

Have you tried using the Index Page Route in Options -> Basic Board Information?

 

[Paul B]

For those looking for it, it's ACP -> Options -> Basic Board Information -> Index Page Route

If you have any add-ons that display content on the main page, the forum listings home page , and they are no longer working with 1.2 then the solution may be as simple as what controller name is being looked at. In particular, XenForo_ControllerPublic_Index should now be XenForo_ControllerPublic_Forum.

So if your code has this....

$controllerName = $params['controllerName'];
$controllerAction = $params['controllerAction'];
if ($controllerName == 'XenForo_ControllerPublic_Index' and $controllerAction == 'Index')
{
     $content .= $template->create('my_template', $params);
}

.... and it used to show up on the forum listing home page but it no longer does under 1.2, then change it to:

$controllerName = $params['controllerName'];
$controllerAction = $params['controllerAction'];
if ($controllerName == 'XenForo_ControllerPublic_Forum' and $controllerAction == 'Index')
{
     $content .= $template->create('my_template', $params);
}

In template modifitications we have to use use {xenroperty} instead of @property

[Mike]

@xf_phantom that is currently a bug report (though the tag version will always work, so no harm in using it).

All developers using an old version of jQuery UI would need to update this script.
The XenForo tooltip (provided by jQueryTools) doesn't seem to be compatible on page with jQueryUI.

How to use the CLI upgrade?
Just run library/XenForo/Install/run-upgrade.php and follow the prompts.

I tried to run this but it said

You don't have permission to access /community/library/XenForo/Install/run-upgrade.php on this server.

 

[Jeremy P]

I tried to run this but it said

You must run it from the command line. That's why it's a CLI upgrader.

Could you please instruct me in more details. I am on shared hosting, can I use command through ftp?

 

[Sheratan]

Could you please instruct me in more details. I am on shared hosting, can I use command through ftp?

I think you can't do console command/SSH on shared hosting.

You can try to upgrade by open yourdomain.com/install in your web browser.

 

[Biker]

Could you please instruct me in more details. I am on shared hosting, can I use command through ftp?

Unlikely. Unless your hosting company has given you shell access so you can ssh into your account, you won't be able to use the CLI method.

 

[Slavik]

Could you please instruct me in more details. I am on shared hosting, can I use command through ftp?

No, you need SSH access, which, you most likely will not have on a shared hosting account.

Thanks,
Finally, I have successfully installed 1.2 beta 1 on my live site. I delete all custom styles, languages and disable all addons.
After upgrading I imported those styles and languages again and those still work.
Now I have 1.2 working.
