Style changes from 3.0.0-RC5 up to 3.0.3

[Highway of Life]

Is there any idea as to when the style changes will slow down or stop between Release Candidates? It is sad to see a bunch of skins go dead with each release. Obviously, each RC is for the best, but I just hope there comes a time where I can use a skin without fear of the next upgrade destroying it.

It was only the update from RC5 to RC6/7 that caused styles built for <= RC5 to not work correctly.
Any style that has been updated to RC6/7 will work with RC8+
We cannot say when style updates will stop, they likely won’t stop until Gold Release. But that is the nature of the beast when running Release Candidate software, and in-fact whenever software updates period. The changes between RC7 and RC8 are very minor.
Even when phpBB3 is upgraded for example, from 3.0.0 to 3.0.1, styles still may need to be upgraded to accommodate, the same is true of MODs. It doesn’t necessarily mean styles and MODs for RC7 won’t work on RC8 and above, just that there will always be code changes when software gets updated.

EDIT When you wrote the modifications from RC7 to RC8 you have some minor problems as I showed you, that is all!
Thank you for these modifications anyway.

Yes RC8 includes all the changes that have been made to the entire package since RC7. But if you have a custom style you will have to manually update it using the changes Raimon posted.

Here's a much simpler work-around that will get your board working (if you were unfortunate enough to upgrade to RC8 from RC5) until a less clunky fix comes out:

* edit includes/function.php
* Go to line 2046: "function check_form_key(..."
* Go to the bottom of the function to where it says "return false".
* Comment it out, and put "return true" underneath it.
* Close and save.
* Write yourself a note to remind yourself what you did, so the next time you go to run a patch file, that you can change it back so it won't throw up all over itself.

Here's what the bottom will look like:
...
if ($trigger)
{
trigger_error($user->lang['FORM_INVALID'] . $return_page);
}
//return false;
return true;

I'm sure this disables something very important, but it definitely beats spending 4 hours doing the work-arounds suggested above.

I don't advise you to do that , and it can be a quick trick but of it works is a second thing.
Because i believe it don't effect the S_TOKENS only the error message.
And when you update your board to RC8 you don't get that problem , also when you switch to prosilver/subsilver2 you don't get log-in problems.

GOTCHA

Now for real;

open: styles/prosilver/template/jumpbox.html

search: (on line +28)

Code: Select all

</fieldset>
  	</form>

after add:

Code: Select all

 <!-- ELSE -->
	<br />

open: styles/prosilver/template/ucp_pm_options.html

search:

Code: Select all

<li><div class="right-box"><input type="submit" name="delete_rule[{rule.RULE_ID}]" value="{L_DELETE_RULE}" class="button2" /></div><strong>{L_IF}</strong> {rule.CHECK} <em>{rule.RULE}</em> <!-- IF rule.STRING --><strong>{rule.STRING}</strong> | <!-- ENDIF -->{rule.ACTION}<!-- IF rule.FOLDER -->: {rule.FOLDER}<!-- ENDIF --></li>

replace with:

Code: Select all

<li><div class="right-box"><input type="submit" name="delete_rule[{rule.RULE_ID}]" value="{L_DELETE_RULE}" class="button2" /></div><strong>{L_IF}</strong> {rule.CHECK} <em>{rule.RULE}</em> <!-- IF rule.STRING --><strong>{rule.STRING}</strong> | <!-- ENDIF -->{rule.ACTION}<!-- IF rule.FOLDER -->: {rule.FOLDER}<!-- ENDIF --><div style="clear: both;"></div></li>
