Upgraded to v3.8.1 Successfully

So far so good, I only had one issue with my modifications.

 

I needed to modify the header.tpl to include some changes that I did not see noted on the modified files in the readme. As the SEO function was going nuts and doing crazy stuff, fixing the title line and adding the if statement for the systemurl below fixed it.

 

I basically made this change to my header

<title>{$companyname} - {$pagetitle}{if $kbarticle.title} - {$kbarticle.title}{/if}</title>

{if $systemurl}<base href="{$systemurl}" />{/if}

 

Just throwing that out there. Other than that, it seems to be working great.

 

Take a look for yourselves.

Be sure to visit the knowledge base to see the SEO in action. Yes I know we only have one article. We plan on adding more later. Also please let me know if anything else is broken.

We had upgraded to V3.8 BETA and reported any bugs in ours and we've now stepped up to the V3.8.1 Stable.

 

Very much a great success for Matt and the WHMCS team and we'll continue to support WHMCS for years to come :)

 

The rate of expansion to the product, addition of features and ongoing support is what makes WHMCS provail over many other products, and with the bucketload of new features in WHMCS V3.8.1, it really does make business management and client management so much easier!

 

Well done team, you deserve to reap the rewards now!

 

On to V4.0! :D

 

Cheers,

Looking forward to 3.8.1 - going to upgrade this one myself, as we had several errors from paying to upgrade the previous version & couldn't put in a ticket for them as our support had expired.

 

Have now paid for the renewal, and just awaiting for the licence to be updated. I assume this is a manual thing as it did not update straight away.

 

Anyway looking forward to upgrading and taking advantage of the new features :)

Just to let you know you page at http://www.happystarhosting.com/support.html which is obtained by clicking on support in your header looks a bit odd compared to the other pages.

A quick question...

 

Is there no DB update with this?

 

I did the upgrade as usual, however going to install.php just gave me a page saying the update was complete.

 

This is odd, as there is usually a db update...?

 

Update below.......

 

Just looked at the install files, and it looks like the upgrade381.sql file is almost blank, whereas the upgrade380.sql file is chocka with stuff to update....

 

Do we need to upgrade to 3.8.0 first then upgrade to 3.8.1 after?

Successful Upgrade here too! I love it. One thing I see right now is that the new quote system needs to have something in the Client Area for the clients to respond to.

 

Like the "My Emails" or whatever.. Just to show the clients recent quotes so they can view, respond to, and even approve themselves to that will make it in an invoice for them to pay.

 

Other than that, WONDERFUL!

 

Thanks!

Can you provide a screen capture of what you mean? Is something out of place or just because it is lacking content? I just reviewed on IE7, Chrome, FF3 and I am not sure what you mean. I may also just re-route that link to here: http://www.happystarhosting.com/billing/index.php as that page is not exactly necessary.

 

 

Let me know, and thanks.

We have a problem with SEO, it does not work. We have renamed the htaccess.txt to .htaccess and enabled the option in the General Menu. It does rewrite, but not right.

 

Switching to catogories works good. But selecting articles:

 

/whmcs/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=5

 

becomes

 

/whmcs/knowledgebase/2/knowledgebase/4/Sponsoring.html

 

with a 404 error as result.

 

 

 

BTW, everything else works fine :D

Look at the 1st post in this thread and implement it into your header.tpl and then re try it.

Smarty was the solution. clientareaproducts.tpl is updated in 3.8

It actually wasn't, but people who have older versions of some templates with {$server.PHP_SELF} are getting this issue after adding the base href setting so need to do a search replace for {$server.PHP_SELF} and replace with {$smarty.server.PHP_SELF} as there's a couple of templates that may contain it from earlier releases.

@victor. whilst upgrading out tpls in prep for the 3.8.1 upgrade, I found 4 instances of that code left in my 3.7.2 residual files

 

clientareadomains.tpl

clientareahosting.tpl

clientareaproducts.tpl

supportticketsubmit-stepone.tpl

 

Thanks this helped me to resolve the problems with my client area account not loading these pages!

I am having an issue where in the Client Area -> My Hosting Packages -> View Details returns to the Client Area rather then showing the details at:

 

index.php?action=productdetails&id=whatever

 

This was not fixed by copying over the updated .tpl files. If anyone knows anything we can beat tech support!

 

Thanks.
