Hi,

On the main page of the control panel (the first page into the admin section) there used to be icons to the left of the menu containing tabs for components, popular, latest items, menu stats...

Now there's just a big blank space there.

OGRE

make clean install.

And lose all the modifications / addons I've installed? I think I'd rather do without those icons or wait for a fix :P

I had the same problem. Quickicons module was in site modules(wrong place).
I edit (in phpMyAdmin) mambo database mos_modules Quickicon acces to 99
Here are all QuickIcons values in db mos_modules:
VALUES (0,'Quick Icons','',1,'icon',0,'0000-00-00 00:00:00,1,'mod_quickicon',0,99,1,'',1,1)

In administration ->Site->Templatemanager->Modulepositions make new moduleposition "icon" ,if you don´t have and edit module Quickicons position to icon.

I can't even find a mod_quickicon in my Administrator Module Manager (or even in the Site Module Manager).

Then it sounds like you found your problem. Try ftping the files into their proper folders.

Sometimes my WS_FTP will hiccup on a file or two (without me knowing it) and cause things to go awry. Carefully inspect the extracted files versus what's actually on the server and resend what's missing or what doesn't match in size. That usually does the trick for me.

Good luck,
Patrick

Can you see the file list in you server, is there in folders admininstrator -> modules file named mod_quickicon.php.
If not, you must upgrade mambo files in server (overwrite).
If the file is there, backup database and open it with phpMyAdmin (or what you use) then Add in mos_modules new row and write values 0,'Quick Icons','',1,'icon',0,'0000-00-00 00:00:00',1,'mod_quickicon',0,99,1,'',1,1

Or sql dump
INSERT INTO `mos_modules` VALUES (0,'Quick Icons','',1,'icon',0,'0000-00-00 00:00:00',1,'mod_quickicon',0,99,1,'',1,1);

Thanks, the SQL entry worked. Whoever said that there were no database changes in RC3... I wonder how many others there are.

mauricio

I have find over 20 changes what (upgrade45_109to451.sql) dont update.
It´s important that you keep save plase the original backup database.
I gues that when 4.5.1 stable comes, there are database upgrade sql and then you need the original database or the sql hangs up (#1060 - Duplicate column name 'xxxxxxxxx' ).
Waiting stable

mauricio: Could you post the db changes from RC-2 too RC-3 that you have found her?
