Forum upgrade shown even after updation finished

[ajaybhargav]

I have successfully updated the forum from 1.x to 2.0 but e107 update still showing forum to be updated and if I run update again, it gets stuck at forum table not created (as tables are already created by previous update process).

BTW I am using latest git version.

@ajaybhargav Are you able to give me FTP and Admin access to your site (via Private-message at http://e107.org/developers/) ? This is an old problem which I have been unable to fix because I cannot reproduce it. Debugging it on a site which DOES have this problem would be extremely helpful.

try removing all the files from the forum folder, and reupload fresh files from git i had a similar issue on tinymce, caused by an older e_meta file which came from an older git version.

Just finished 3 test updates from v1 TO v2 (in Xampp). All 3 have issues on step 3 (either an empty installed but not used forum or 2 fully equipped) It can (will not create) the extended fields. Error Creating extended user field user_plugin_forum_posts Creating extended user field user_plugin_forum_viewed Creation of extended field(s) failed. You can not continue until these are create successfully!

I overcame ( had to investigate) by backing up all, then DE-install the forum plugin but ONLY gave command to delete the extended fields (all others is no). So forum is deinstalled while tables keep prseent in dbase. Next i RE-installed the forum plugin (v2 now; it uses the stored tables) and e107 reports > update > finish that > forum runs fine..(upgrade complete)

I manually created those two extended fields to continue the setup.

did you also try to update having public files in place?

@ajaybhargav j The upgrade is used on a v1 website which uses nearly everything (except pm). Data : db 6.2 Mb sql base File size on server > about 920Mb Files used > total (system and downloads etc..) 11.300. Multilanguage site ( 3 langs) (site has no known errors or mistakes..that should always be checked before any upgrade is made; a buggy site will most likely have a buggy outcome)

Having said that, i have (follow the steps as mentioned by the update process) NO other troubles using the upgrade ( i always use the latest github files when doing so). I get warnings, advice etc.. all as should, As always > backup all before attempting. It is always possible something could interfere. (php versions; host settings etc..)

How the language reated pieces ( translated lines) function afterwards is due to nature ( lang packs should always have same version), but most should function nonetheless... ( beta has no lang packs except only English, but is capable off using others ( v2) (when offered).

The only piece which is a reminder (user intervention) > the use of custom templating in v1. depending the code used inside (code, image paths etc..)
