Outdated Template & Amended Custome Titles.

[PNE-Online]

Upgraded the software last week and since then we have been getting a Outdated Tenplate Error on Page Container.

We use novus theme and default.

Also all over 10000 user custom titles have reverted to the number '0'

After some digging its when we changed to Xenforo from VB.

Is there a way to change all these back without having to go into every single users.

Try on a unmoddified default style.

Try on a unmoddified default style.

That would work but it won't solve the problem on the two styles the uses can select.

I’m not suggesting it would solve the problem, it would just identify if it’s a style issue or something else.

It's basic trouble-shooting 101. If it works on a default style, but not on the aftermarket style, it's a pretty good indicator it's something related directly to the aftermarket style. If it happens on the default style also, then it is more likely to not be a style issue.
Your "issues" seem to be all over the map.
Either the issue occurred when you migrated from vB to XF, or it occurred when you upgraded your XF that resulted in a template issue.

Have you looked at the actual outdated template to see WHAT is outdated in it, to find out it might be some custom code in there specific to your custom title issue?

I have the same trouble in Standardstýle.

XF 2.2 - How to hide all custom user titles

Is there a way to hide, or reset all custom UserTitles only?

Updated our forum to v2.2.12 last week. It seems to have inserted a 0 or a 1 into the Custom title field for any user who did not have a custom title -- which is most of our 3,385 forum members.

I am now removing these 0s and 1s from our members, one-by-one, so their titles reflect the User Group to which they belong.

This is tedious work. I would humbly request that future XF releases don't modify the Custom Title field.

I haven't noticed this on this site, or my site and we've had no other reports.
If it was a general bug I would have expected many more reports by now.

Which add-ons do you @RisingSun and @PNE-Online have installed?
I wonder if there is something common.

Here are our add-ons:


One additional thing that I've been thinking about: we had the issue with 0 in the Custom title field when we migrated our forum from vBulletin a few years ago. At that time, I manually deleted the 0 for many users. Now the same issue has returned.

Previously, the field was not displayed if custom titles were not used, even if values were entered there by users.
Today, (2.2.12) custom titles are displayed as soon as user profile settings contain values, even if they are not used at all and you do only use the default user tiering ( User title override: Use the default user title ladder ).

So did XF previously ignore the Custom Title field if there was only one character in it, but display it if there were more characters? We use the field to show our club officers but don't touch it for most members.

Pretty sure the 0 in the field is a leftover artifact from our migration from vBulletin a few years ago.

Don't know about previously, as I can't check for sure on my site as it's the latest version... but 1 character does show in it or multiple characters on 2.2.12.



On another site that I am a member of (1.x version) it does the same.

Thanks for all your feedback.

I am guessing then there is no way to change them all unless we go into each indervidual account?

The custom title is part of incentives for paid up members so would be helpful if we could sort it.

The only add on I think we have in common is mediasuites.

Not sure if this may be related to the recent issue

Fixed - Batch update users broken in 2.2.12

Since 2.2.12 .. batch update users feature is broken due to this weird change at XF\Job\UserAction $customTitle = $this->getActionValue('custom_title'); if ($customTitle !== '') { $user->custom_title = $customTitle; } where $customTitle will never be...
