How to upgrade from Vivace

That’ll be surprisingly easy, even though there is a brand new indexing engine!

1) do a backup (just in case ;) )
2) Download the package from SourceForge
2) unpack the file you downloaded
3) drop your old fp-content/ to the new flatpress/ dir you unpacked
3) login as usual; if anything doesn’t work here (it should, don’t worry), reinstall
4) go to the maintenance tab and choose to rebuild the index
5) wait for the page to load completely
6) scroll down, you should see a message saying the process has finished: you’re done!
6/b) you might need to empty the fp-content/cache/ dir if you had prettyurls enabled

Note: This is SVN rev227

Have fun!

UPDATE: if you’re experiencing a “syntax error”, try using these patched files. And tell your host they suck :D

Anyway, great result :)

Let us all celebrate :D

FlatIndex (formerly bplustree.class.php) will soon be hosted at code.google.com

Bye!

Today Fabian Fingerle kindly contacted me to tell me about two nasty XSS bugs that slipped in FP0.804 (stable)

The fix were trivial, and if you don’t want to download a whole new package, just overwrite

• fp-interface/sharedtpls/login.tpl
• fp-interface/sharedtpls/contact.tpl

with those linked.

I’ll take this occasion to release a bugfix package, with the fixes you can find on the SVN stable branch (like feed validation and such).

You can get it from SourceForge.net as usual.

The new version is 0.804.1, svn rev.189

Thank you, Fabian

Now you can test the SVN version with your old content/ directory.

First of all, checkout the latest trunk; now either

• launch setup and then copy your old fp-content/content/ to this fresh copy, OR
• copy your whole fp-content/ directory to the new location

at your choice, it shouldn’t be a problem (unless you have a pre-0.804 version ;))

Now get the source code of the importer from the wiki page and paste it to a file, say import.php; upload this file to your FP web root (usually http://yoursite.com/flatpress/)

1. Login as usual through the web interface
2. Browse to http://yoursite.com/flatpress/import.php
3. Wait for the page to finish loading.
4. ????
5. PROFIT!

(the Internet meme really has only 4 points, but, since only a pair of you will get it, I don’t care :D)

have fun!
