3.4 Released

http://www.gatchfanfic.com

I have this installed and it's working nice so far. All except the Challenges Module. When I went to look at the stories under an individual challenge I was given the following error:

A fatal MySQL error was encountered.
Query: SELECT author.penname as penname, co.uid FROM fanfiction_coauthors AS co LEFT JOIN fanfiction_authors as author ON co.uid = author.uid WHERE co.sid = '756'
Error: (1146) Table 'xxxxxx_xxxxxx.fanfiction_coauthors' doesn't exist

I ran the updater in the Admin panel once I uploaded all the files. It said "This update has already been completed. No further action is needed."

From the above error shouldn't the "Run Update" have installed any new tables or table modifications that would be needed? I also went through the files looking for something that showed it would insert a coauthor table and didn't see it. Am I missing something?

While investigating the above, I noticed that the version check is still bringing up 3.3.1 and saying I'm up-to-date.  🙂

Thanks for all your hard work!

Sorry to post again, but I can't figure out how to edit my previous post.

I tried manually going to http://www.gatchfanfic.com/update.php and that worked...sorta. New tables were created, but now it's stuck in an update loop. Doesn't matter how many times I click 'yes'  or 'no' it just comes right back to it. I've tried clearing the cookies, and then it shows the site in maintenance, even though the MySQL database does not have that set. Signing in again under my Admin account just brings it back to the update loop. Very strange.

Go into phpmyadmin and edit your version in the settings table to 3.4.

I had already tried that, and the loop kept happening. I ended up reloading all the new files twice before somehow, the loop stopped itself. I still don't know what caused it, but I'm glad it stopped. Thanks. 🙂

¡Genial! Muchas gracias a todo el equipo de eFiction! Los felicito por el excelente trabajo que realizan 🙂

(Sorry, but I haven't time for translate it into english, but you can translate with Google and learn a bit of spanish :D)

I've found a couple bugs in the update scripts.  I will have a fix out in the next hour or so.  Please be patient.

Hi,

I'm currently updating my german files and a comparison of the 3.3.1 and 3.4 en_admin.php showed me that the following language strings have been deleted:

define ("_", "");
define ("_ACCTLOCK", "Your account has been locked. Please contact the site administrator for further information.");

Just want to know if this is correct because aspecially the second string still should be used? And in en.php (the main file) is another change I'm not sure how to handle with:

en.php(from 3.3.1)
define ("_STORYALERT", "Update to favorites at $sitename");
define ("_STORYALERTNOTE", "%1$s by %2$s, one of your favorite stories at $sitename has been updated.<br><br><a href=""$url/viewstory.php?sid=%3$d&amp;chapter=%4$d">$url/viewstory.php?sid=%3$d&amp;chapter=%4$d</a>nn");"
define ("_STORYNOTES", "Story Notes");

 EN.PHP (from 3.4) 
define ("_STORYALERT", "Update to favorites at $sitename");
define ("_STORYALERTNOTE", "%1$s by %2$s, one of your favorite stories at $sitename, has been updated.<br><br><a href=""$url/viewstory.php?sid=%3$d&amp;chapter=%4$d">$url/viewstory.php?sid=%3$d&amp;chapter=%4$d</a>nn");"
define ("_STORYNOTES", "Story Notes");

Cann't see any changes to these lines.

Steffen

The first is correct.  The _ACCTLOCK definition should already be in en.php.  The second, I probably just hit with the keyboard somehow.  They are unchanged.

hey Tammy

I installed this new version as a test before updating my 2nd site and anyway found another error that I havant seen mentioned so...

when you go to the authorlist it doesnt go to the list you get this instead

A fatal MySQL error was encountered.
Query: SELECT count(author.uid) FROM fanfiction_authors as author LEFT JOIN fanfiction_authorprefs as ap ON author.uid = ap.uid WHERE ap.stories > 0
Error: (1054) Unknown column 'ap.stories' in 'where clause'

just thought I'd post about it incase you didnt know about the error

Did you upgrade to 3.4.1?

Did you upgrade to 3.4.1?

nope Tammy, it was a clean install

Ah. I see the problem.  I'll update tonight I hope.  Depends on how long it takes me to write a solution for the admin cats.

Where is the link to download 3.4.1 because under downloads it only list 3.4? Or should we wait until you are done with updating tonight to download the new install?

Yes, that is it. 3.4.

You can do either, it's up to you whether you want to settle for having that error until the update is available, or not.

I would wait if it's a new install.
