+++ 4.5.1 Compatibility Patch: Use nearly every old component, module in 4.5.1(a) +++

pocketom · 05.10.2004, 02:34

Many of you sure have tried to run your old componets or modules under 4.5.1(a) you where using in older 4.5.0 versions of mambo. Many of them like for example the latest zOOmGallery 2.1.2, older Akobooks and Akogalleries use some functions missing since 4.5.1.

This patch makes it possible to run these components without any problems in both 4.5.1 or 4.5.1a!
It re-adds the missing functions openConnectionWithReturn() and openConnectionNoReturn() to Mambo 4.5.1(a) stable.

Installation:

1. Make sure you really have Mambo 4.5.1-Stable or 4.5.1a, because this patch will not work for any other version.

2. Rename the original file includes/database.php to database.php-dist

3. Copy the database.php from this patch to the includes directory

Have Phun and please post your expiriences with it here...

Awesome!

I don't suppose anyone knows if the database backup and restore utility from 4.5.0 is available as a component?

I'm trying to get Ako Comment to work with 4.5.1. The current behavior is that it kind of works, to the extent that you can post comments, but the comments are not automatically displayed when reading the story. The user has to click on Write Comment in order to view the comments.
I thought this patch would fix the problem, but it didn't.

Please dont be angry

.

As u can read above, this path fixes he missung futions missing functions openConnectionWithReturn() and openConnectionNoReturn() in daabase.php only. This is responsible for a lot of components to work correctly.

I dont use akocomment, so i dont know whats the problem there.

Please post the error messages if u want somebody to help you, therwise nobody will be able to help you with your problem!

Akocomment works fine for me in 4.5.1. I just replaced 1 line in akocommentbot.php

Before:

Code:

  if ($option=='content' AND $task=='view') {

After:

Code:

  if ($option=='com_content' AND $task=='view') {

I'm getting an error using the patch and Display News-Ordered 1-3.

Notice: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'Latest News''' at line 3 in /hsphere/local/home/name/projects.namecom/project/includes/database.php on line 202

It's odd, because it loads and shows the content, although it isn't functioning correctly (no scrolling... and yes, I have hardcoded my parameters.)

dylanr · 18.10.2004, 01:54

Nevermind... I hardcoded something that I shouldn't have:

$set_category_name = @$params->set_category_name ? strval( $params->set_category_name ) : "";
