NDKP 3.0 now available for download - enjoy

[Asia]

Sorry for the delays, I wanted to make sure a few things were done before we uploaded the installations. Please follow the instructions below to upgrade from NDKP 2.051b to NDKP 3.0 .

Instructions may also be found in your NDKP 3.0 downloads INSTALL.txt and README.txt

Alerts:
NDKP 3.0 will do the following on the upgrade
1. Change the names of all your NDKP database tables to include the NDKP_ prefix
2. Add 2 additional lines to your siteSettings.php
[list:ba416aec04]$faction = "Horde"; // or alliance (this is to support paladin pricing.)
$wishcode = "yourguildcode";
The wishcode will be used by your guild members to log in and use the new Wishlist system which is our featured release for NDKP 3.0.

3. Upgrade your template CSS files for linking and not inclusions.
4. We have included RaidAttendance.zip another ingame addon to assist you with Attendance. Install the addon to your World of Warcraft addon folder and when in game type /att to view a list of people in the raid. Use Ctrl+c to copy the contents in the popup window. [/list:u:ba416aec04]

You WILL NEED to update your Nurfed_DKP addon ingame with the 3.0 released version. In order for it to work properly.

Please back up your NDKP Database and files just in case, so you can always revert. NDKP 3.0 will overwrite everything, but not the database. However as a rule of thumb it is always important to backup. :)

1. Download the Patch Files from http://www.nurfedui.net
2. Unzip the files and upload them to your NDKP web folder
3. Locate the URL http://yourdomain.com/yourndkpfolder/upgrade/
4. Follow the instructions there.

Upgrading will take 1 minute.

If this is your first time using NDKP
1. download the installation files at http://www.nurfedui.net.
2. Unzip and copy up the files to your website.
3. Locate the directory you installed it to in your browser (i.e. http://www.yourdomain.com/ndkpfolder/
4. Follow the instructions in the installation fields
NDKP 3.0 now includes a new eqDKP upgrade. Please supply your eqDKP prefix you used when you created your eqDKP install (i.e. wowdkp_ :: Include the _ if it is in there.)

Just went to upgrade. Seems you have to edit the siteSettings.php manually its saying unable to log into the mysql database as beta@localhost and all of the info thats in the siteSetting.php is from your beta.

edit.. and in the siteSettings.php it still has the old site name.

$siteName = 'NDKP v. 2.05b by Nurfed';

The siteName isn't used anymore, and Upgrade doesn't rewrite siteSettings.php. It adds 4 lines to it

<?php
$faction = "Horde or Alliance";
$wishcode = "GuildCode";
?>

that is all it does. It shouldn't affect anything on siteSettings.php and you don't need to worry about siteName as it is not used anymore :)

My CSS was caching weird and those problems have cleared up. The templates are working ok. But when I use the "change template" function in the admin it is writing my config file with wrong info here:


$faction = "Horde";
$wishcode = "madness";

Also my admin page is loggin the admin name as Zakar who is player ID 1. But the admin user Hogit who has player ID4 should be there.

In my auth table the ID column is 1 and in the playerID column i have 4. So I dont understand why it is not showing correctly.

[Asia]

asia is an idiot!

Fixed, please download :o sowwy

Additional Fix:
Add Item to include addslash support (I missed one!)

[hogit]

OMG so fast... :shock:

[Stormbrow]

the provided link still shows 2.051b as the current download. where can I get 3.0?

[Clanos]

You may want to address including your test 'admin/sitesettings.php' file as part of the upgrade patch - I can see this tripping people up. I don't think it belongs here. :wink:

[abshiffl]

I changed the chmod for each of the files listed for the upgrade and didn't see any other needed edits in the install files, when I go to the upgrade page I end up getting this once I try to start the update.

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user: 'beta@localhost' (Using password: YES) in /home/abshiffl/public_html/NDKP/config/siteClass.php on line 30
NDKP ERROR: Unable to connect to mysql as user beta.

does another file need to be altered?

[Jergus]

Looking at the update download if I follow the instrctions it is going to replace all of my files, including config/sitesettings.php. That can't be right, can it? That will erase my db connection info.

Pleae let me know if my worry isn't valid.

Thanks! really looking foward to installing 3.0!

[Asia]

Redownload the patch and install guys, sorry, I left an old siteSettings on there that shouldn't have been there :)

[Opeth]

After the upgrade I had to manually edit siteSettings.php and remove the second <?php that was added.

Other than that, smooth upgrade 8)

Thanks for all the hard work you guys are doing!

I just downloaded the package and tried to install it on my testsite. For some reason the installer never creates the tables in my database. I also had a testinstall of eqdkp installed, so I tried (to see if it could import/update that) to upgrade from that.

This time it created three tables.

I tried to reupload all files, and I've doublechecked the databasename and password to be sure I got it right.

Could this be because my database is called midwinterguild_ with a underscore in the end? I am on a webhotel, and I cant change the name of the database.

The installscript doesnt fail, I get to the part where it says. "Delete the installation directory and go to .../ndkp/admin to start" - but because it never created any tables the entire install fails :-/

Any help would be appreciated.
