We cannot be held responsible for your lack of due diligence nor for you not reading the instructions in both this resource and the smiley manager resource.
The instructions are very explicit:
I restored from the back up just before I tried it.
Here's my problem..... The smilie manager resource filled a feature in which Xenforo did NOT have. You guys decide to add your own version that steers DIRECTLY into that resource. Hence you have forced this issue, rather than code around a resource you know exists. That's why I'm upset.
If you know this problem WILL occur, why not code a warning into the upgrade script? Especially since Xenforo coded 1.3 to conflict with the smilie manager resource.
Due diligence is the term used when you post a sign and blame people for not looking under the rock they didn't see. I DID look around and I didn't see anything. I checked my resources to see which ones worked in 1.3. What I did NOT do is check every forum for this thread. To my knowledge this is the ONLY time in which an upgrade directly conflicts with another resource. Did I read everything in the smilie resource regarding issues, no. I read a post that said it was working in 1.3. Why would I need to scour for something I don't know exists. Again, I read a post that said it works in 1.3.
Hopefully you understand my stand point. I'm not trying to be difficult, just that a lot of members may not look for this thread.
The ownership is always on the consumer, but when you put out an upgrade that will be known to conflict, how about a warning in the upgrade script, in case we missed a very important issue when upgrading. That's all I'm saying.
I also understand that the use of resources "voids" the warranty on a error free upgrade. However, like I stated, this upgrade to 1.3 was coded to conflict with a known resource.
I'm moving on, and going to cross my fingers when I upgrade to 1.3.
Understand that vBulletin veered into the "due diligence" when they put out vB5. Yeah it works, but once you add mods, it turns into garbage. So please understand where I'm standing I think a post in a thread in a place where I obviously didn't see it won't shun your responsibility to alert a customer of a problem in which you know will crash your site if you have a resource we are now going to include in Xenforo. Key words are "resource we are now going to include".
The horse is dead now.. Thanks for allowing me to vent. So far this is the ONLY issue I've had with Xenforo.
