[FAQ] 5.5.4

[Martin]

This is a little thread I'm putting together of all the things I had to apply, remember or do in order to upgrade successfully from version 5.0.6 to 5.5.4... and yes, I know it's a bit late with 6.0.14 out but I'm not about to jump in gung ho on that until you lot have found the bugs

• Page order is lost
  Fix: restore your /cache/datastore/Pages.php file from backup
  .
• Search page displays compare and reviews even when disabled
  Fix: (see next post)
  .
• Currencies don't appear to be updating properly
  Fix:
  - Make sure your /cache/datastore/Currencies.php file is writeable (CHMOD 666)
  - Make sure you have a currency service ticked for updates
  .
• Sitemap link has a pipe | character after it
  Fix: To remove, just edit the SitemapLink.html to remove the character.
  .
• Variations aren't limited to the choices you provide but provide ALL options
  Fix: replace class.remote.php with this file
  .
• Variation images get "upgraded" to become images for the main product and are disassociated from the variation they were associated with previously
  Fix: Unknown

Search page doesn't abide by the settings for reviews and compare if set to no.

Open: /includes/display/SearchPage.php

Find:

Code: Select all

            $url = 'search.php?' . implode('&', $url);

Before, Add:

Code: Select all

            // Only show the "compare" option if there are 2 or more products on this page
            if(GetConfig('EnableProductComparisons') == 0 || $GLOBALS['ISC_CLASS_DB']->CountResult($GLOBALS['SearchResults']) < 2) {
                $GLOBALS['HideCompareItems'] = "none";
            }

            if(GetConfig('EnableProductReviews') == 0) {
                $GLOBALS['HideProductRating'] = "display: none";
            }

If anyone wants to share any others that could be useful please add them below... Discussion will be split out, just fixes and links to fixes please...

Cheers..

Seems the 5.5.4 upgrade removes all the images that are directly associated with variations and dumps them into the main product image set.

No idea why or how to fix it yet but seriously annoyed that a simple enough upgrade has been shortcut to this...
