Upgrade Path 2.51.00 before 2.52.00?

Posted: Sun Sep 26, 2021 10:17 am

Hello,

What is the recommended upgrade path from RavenNuke_v2.50.00. My site has been neglected and I am so far behind - I have picked today to attempt a resurrection of sorts. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Well, I started, and apparently I am unable to perform an upgrade as it states the Installation folder exists...

I think I have it sorted. I deleted the entire INSTALLATION folder and re=uploaded it. Installer went on like I would expect it to without seeing the Installation folder Exists message.

I removed the folder, but it seems like tehre was one more thing to do.

In any case, the only other issue I ran into was the following error when updating the DB:

Code:




Updating based on config value of rn2.50.OO 


ALTER TABLE 


ALTER TABLE 


ALTER TABLE 


ALTER TABLE 


ALTER TABLE 


ALTER TABLE 


ALTER TABLE 


ALTER TABLE 


ALTER TABLE 


UPDATE ?nuke 


UPDATE ?nuke 


?nuke 


_banned_ip? CHANGE 'date 'date' DATE NULL DEFAULT NULL Succeeded. 


?nuke_banner? CHANGE ?ad_width' ?ad_width' INT(4) NULL DEFAULT NULL FAILED. MySQL reported: Unknown column 'ad_width' in 'nuke_banner' 


?nuke_banner? CHANGE ?ad_height? ?ad_height? INT(4) NULL DEFAULT NULL FAILED. MySQL reported: Unknown column 'ad_height' in 'nuke_banner'

The one other issue I have is a menu link I had added for Gallery some time ago to Theme.php which for some reason no longer shows up:

Code:




   if (empty($nukeNAV)) {


      echo '<div id="menu">


         <div id="menu_links">


            <ul>


               <li><a href="index.php">'._HOME.'</a></li>


               <li><a href="modules.php?name=Downloads">'._UDOWNLOADS.'</a></li>


               <li><a href="modules.php?name=Your_Account">'._FSIYOURACCOUNT.'</a></li>


               <li><a href="modules.php?name=Forums">'._BBFORUMS.'</a></li>


               <li><a href="http://photosbytom.com/gallery/">Gallery</a></li>


               


               '.(is_user($user) ? '<li><a href="modules.php?name=Your_Account&amp;op=logout">'._LOGOUT.'</a></li>' : '').'


               '.(is_admin($admin) ? '<li><a href="'.$admin_file.'.php?op=adminMain">'._FSIADMINMENU.'</a></li>' : '').'


            </ul>


         </div>


      <div id="menu_welcome">';


   } else {


      echo '<div id="menunav">';


      echo $nukeNAV;


      echo '<div id="menu_welcomenav">';


   }

Hey TAd,

sorry for the delayed answer. To solve the issue with the missing db-fields 'ad_width' and 'ad_height' you can try to add it manually with phpMyAdmin. Open the database, go to the 'nuke_banner' db-tabe and run the following two lines into the SQL-Input:

sql Code:

ALTER TABLE `nuke_banner` ADD `ad_width` INT(4) NULL DEFAULT NULL  AFTER `ad_code`;


ALTER TABLE `nuke_banner` ADD `ad_height` INT(4) NULL DEFAULT NULL  AFTER `ad_width`;

The other issue is not 100% clear for me. The whole menue is not shown or only the single-link to your gallery?

Neralex,

Thank you for the reply, I really appreciate it greatly and no apologies required. My poor site went off line and I had not realized it as I have been rather neglectful of my Photography site Embarassed

. When I finally picked up photography again and went to it, I knew right away that the PHP 7.x upgrade email I got was the red flag.

I have managed to get everything up and running, I will perform the SQL commands this evening. The other issue was sorted out after a night of rest and a deeper dive into my post history (NukeNav, d*** you!).

In /includes/jquery/nukeNAV.php I had to add:

php Code:

 $nukeNAV .= '


	 <li><a href="http://www.mysite.com/gallery" title="">Gallery</a></li>';			  																	  


$nukeNAV .= '

Sadly, my Gallery 2 install no longer functions and I have spent much time searching for a replacement. Gallery 3 was never as good and abandoned. Although, there is a revival but just not many themes I can locate to do what I want and the support just isn't there for it really. I think I may have settled on Piwigo - but it hasn't been an easy decision and has required many hours of going through the code to make slight alterations.

Regards,
TAd

Glad you were able to sorted it. Sadly I can't recommend a alternative gallery module. All known nuke-based Gallery-modules are not more supported since many years. Maybe you will keep an eye on some wordpress-plugins. There are exists many cool ones.
