Today I downloaded the lastest ravenNuke package and attemped to convert to my phpNUKE 7.9 to raven this is my story.

LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK, HOW TO I KNOW EVERYTHING IS OK, WHAT ABOUT 1 FAILURE DURING DOWNGRADE????


Ok. The noob WINS !!!!

This is what my 1 week of website experience has done, I'm happy AA AA AA AA AA AA AA AA :

- I made clone of my website using a sub-domian, copy of all my root files and folders, and a copy of MySql db. The site was an exact clone
- upgraded myBB to lastest version 2.2
- downgraded my db using 7.8 to 7.6 I had 7.9. I got 1 error alter table nuke_modules failed (i ignored)- installed resend email, html, nsn, to downgraded db using raven provided scripts
- I then merged the entire contents of raven html folder into my cloned website root with 100% replace
- I change config.php so user, db, and password were correct
- I then logged into website, YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! WORKING !!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Add this point I have found only 1 thing wrong and that is all my headers in forums are center justified along with contents of contents blocks (assume this is an easy fix???)

So what should I test very hard due to alter table nuke_modules failed error during downgrade of db?????
Can this probelm be fixed????


What esle should I test before changing over to raven????


Looking for some feedback from the experienced people.

Cheers

loraxx, welcome to RavenPHPScripts and RavenNuke! I must commend you on a job well done!! Are you sure you have only been doing this for a week?

Wave

I'll give you two answers to your question.

1) This is the complete answer which will work each and every time. Get yourself a copy of mySQLDiff (Google it), complete a fresh install of the database using the installSQL.php (but make sure you do not overwrite your main site database!) Then, use MySQLDiff to compare the two database structures. This will tell you what might not be quite right (if anything).

2) Post your nuke_modules table here and we'll compare it to 2.10.01. Wink

Again, great job!

Thank you very much for the reply and information. I will perform step 1 and then after that post will post nuke_modules tables.

Thanks again.

Thanks again for helping. Per #2 below is a copy of MySql after full migration to ravennuke AS DESCRIBE IN MY ORIGINAL POST (I did not do this again to compare with mySQLDIFF YET as I mentioned in last post). I did use website after full migration to check stuff, made a few post, turned modules on and off, DID NOT INSTALL ANYTHING NEW JUST USED SITE

loraxx, I tidied up your post a bit as you do not need to quote a post above if the thread is not interrupted. Also, you had duplicated the code and I also like to see code within a code block so that it doesn't make the page so long... Wink

This table dump looks fine to me. You might want to delete you admin/modules directory and then re-upload it from the RavenNuke 2.10.00 distribution. I am just wondering if the old modules.php file is still there.

Thanks for looking at my db and saying it looks good. If it looks good why did I get the error alter table nuke_modules failed?

Also, why is everything in all blocks, links, menus, control panels, config panels, forums, even posts I after I make on the raven site now centered? See my ravenuke site migration trial at [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] How hard would this be to fix? Again, everything is centered.

What is the purpose or what will the following suggestion address? "You might want to delete you admin/modules directory and then re-upload it from the RavenNuke 2.10.00 distribution. I am just wondering if the old modules.php file is still there."


Many Many Many Thanks Very Happy

A minor thing, but since I've been staring at version numbers all morning ... it's 2.10.01 that you want.

RavenNuke uses XHTML 1.0 transitional, whereas most themes were coded to HTML 4.0 transitional. The centering rules changed subtly in XHTML. It will take some tweaking of your theme to put it back.

Does this mean I have to edit every html file on my website to eliminate this centering issue? OMG that is not worth it. Is there another option? I what raven but not hours of manual editing to do so. Anybody got any ideas?

No, you simply have to make some tweaks to your theme files. Exactly which files and how many changes depend on the theme you are trying to use.

You could also hack your header.php file and change the DOCTYPE to HTML. Do that only if you aren't concerned about compliance though.

Thanks for the good news. Any idea of what the tweaks are? I got my theme from [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] I have no idea what to do to fix this problem. Any guidance, recommendations, pointers, manuals, etc.

MANY THANKS !!! Very Happy

If you notice at the bottom of their home page is the following: Clan Themes is based on Raven Nuke Distribution. They use RavenNuke(tm) as their core. I'm reasonably sure if you ask them for help you will get it Wink

I have the ball rolling. In addition, I found an old post that indicated there themes are based on HTML and not XHTML ( [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] ). However, the post is old and I'm hoping they will respond with good news.


link to my themes creator for status on situation. NOTE, the link to the HTML not XHTML statement is in the link below also. [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]


I'm hoping for the best Very Happy

Clan-Themes is awesome, they have the fix. For the record clan-theme DOES have the fixes to make the centering issue go away. My site migration is nearly complete, YES !!!! I can't wait. I'm going to raven, yaa-whooo Very Happy

RavensScripts

Would you either post the fixes or ask the admin at clan-themes to post it here so I can make it a Sticky? Thanks!

Raven,

I would love to provide the fixes; however, they did not tell me the changes. They gave me 6 files to FTP to my site (4 for root dir. under my theme and 2 for <my theme>/forums). I'm assuming if the changes were simple they would have told me what lines I had to adjust. I will ask them for more details and mention your request.

Or, send me your 6 original files and the 6 new ones and I will run a compare Smile

Raven,

I will send 2 X 6 files. How shall I send them? I will try to PM them to you after this post. I will email if I can find your email. Please let me know what you find.

These issues will need to be worked out with the support site.

Zip them and email to ravenwebservices AT everestkc DOT net

Per your request I have forwarded the before and after files related to the raven incompatibility issue I had with my custom theme. Please forward anything you find I should know. Again thanks for your attention.

FOR THE RECORD, clan-themes (my theme provider) did an OUTSTANDING job supporting me with this theme and as you can see has provided me all the fixes required to make the theme I bought from them compatible with raven 2.10.01. They are very professional and I rate them a 5 out of 5 stars.
