XenForo Updater 1.1.5.1

[Liam W]

Liam W submitted a new resource:

XenForo Updater - Relatively quick updates, all from the comfort of the admin panel.

This is a nice little add-on that allows you to update your XF installation via your AdminCP.

It works with multiple licenses, and it even lets you choose the version you want to update to.

I will test it out here shortly on a small site

 

[Brent W]

Get this error: An upgrade was found for a version of XenForo that is newer than the uploaded files. Please reupload all of the files for the new version and reload this page.

If I go to the homepage it lets me do the upgrade the normal way.

You mean when this add-on redirected you to the upgrade script you got the 'An upgrade was found for a version of XenForo that is newer than the uploaded files. Please reupload all of the files for the new version and reload this page.' error, but when you were redirected by the homepage it worked?

That could just be a random race condition due to files still being copied by the system.

Correct

 

[Liam W]

As soon as I go out and buy an external microphone, I'll make a video showing this in action.

[Brent W]

Might need to add a delay before the next step to avoid race condition? Just happened again on another site.

 

[Brent W]

Resource Manager, Gallery and Elastic Search would be great as well

 

[Brent W]

I know what the problem is. We have it set so that our cache isn't updated until ever x seconds with ZendOpcace. Maybe copy files over and then ask begin upgrade button instead of trying to do it automatically.

 

[Liam W]

Of course, opcache.

I'll just reset the cache if I detect the functions exist.

Liam W updated XenForo Updater with a new update entry:

Opcache Reset

This version automatically forcefully invalidates a file when copied.

It also checks that the root XF directory is writable.

They would, but I don't have a license for any of them to do the development work

I get a permission error, probably because of my secure setup.

Yup, nothing this add-on can do. It needs to be able to write out to the relevant areas, as specified in the additional requirements section

That's what I thought. I don't feel to make it less secure to use this add-on.
I'll keep doing it with CLI then.

Bug Fix & Changes

Bugs

• Fix error caused by having non-active licenses

Changes/New Features

• The system will now try and match a license in the list to your site. It does this by checking to see if the license name is contained anywhere in the board title option.
• If you're not running a beta version, the version selected by default when downloading from the xenforo site will now also be selected by default when using this add-on.
