Ho, David, I know that 'upgrade' doesn't update my web pages and all. I've separately run ./upgrade --web-only DrugDiscovery for that.
But then still came across the problems in the email And once you made a News forum, no matter how you did it, you can no longer convert the old news. Not through the convert_news script, at least, not without (probably) adding to it that if News already exists, to just add to it. But my php skills aren't there yet to do so. :-) On Sun, Feb 3, 2013 at 5:37 AM, David Anderson <[email protected]> wrote: > Jord: > "upgrade" doesn't upgrade your front page (html/user/index.php). > You need to update that manually, tracking the changes in > html/user/sample_index.php > For example: > show_news(0, 5); > > I'll look at the outdated SVN stuff in the admin page. > > -- David > > On 02-Feb-2013 6:35 PM, Jorden van der Elst wrote: >> After updating the DrugDiscovery@Home back-end and forums, I found a >> couple of problems that I had to fix by hand. >> >> 1.
