Thread: aeDating v4.0 Patch 2 Released

The awaited release of v4.0 (patch 2) has happened....

Just got it - so I have not had a chance to look at it yet - but if you want - go to awWebWorks, and download a copy from your private support login there.

Looks like they fixed membership (yea!), stripped html tags from and added html headers to letters, errors in the gallery, some stuff with the blog, added couples to speed dating (?), moved the search function to the template files, added ability of admin to delete stored mass mailings, fixed banners, made an improvement to chicks for free, fixed something in the vbulletin module, and a few other misc things.

I think the thing most of us wanted the most was the membership fixes - as this was something that is nice to have a "standard" with...

I'll find time to give it an install - and take a look. I'm sure you will too - if you do - post your comments.

I am optimistic that it is great!

Certainly good news to start the day... hopefully in time Loaded will readjust to the new code?

There so-called fixes always create other issues.
Will see any way.

Well, either I'm a dufus or the patch has more bugs......I patched my site and updated the database and immediately noticed that the composing of message is still not fixed. I immediately restored from backup! I'll try again later.

Hi,

I did not expect the patch #2 to fix all the bugs - in fact, I only have one expectation - is that membership levels are fixed...

Why? Membership levels is a core function of the application... and if I were to fix it my own way - perhaps it would not be in line with the future releases of patches... I really want to use the "aeDating way" for membership levels and gold membership - to keep some consistency in regards to this important function and future upgrades.

All other issues or bugs - I have no problem with fixing or enhancing in loaded.

Rob,

Please update this post if the fix for the membership level works on a standard non modified Aedating script and what it actually does compared to the bug.

Thanks very much.

Quick update and comment:

Started looking at Patch 2 - and the old Gold Membership is no more - the future method is custom memberships only:

Code:

DELETE FROM `GlParamsKateg` WHERE `name` = 'Gold Membership';
   DROP TABLE `Mem_Avff`;
   DROP TABLE `Mem_caff`;
   ALTER TABLE `Profiles` DROP `ExtraAddons`;
   ALTER TABLE `Profiles` DROP `gm_avff_kiss`;

Needless to say - if you do this upgrade, and you have existing paid (gold members), and you run the query above, you will delete this information from your database.

Use caution... backup before hand... do a database dump of your gold membership information (including expiration dates)... and be prepared to re-add them into a paid custom membership level.

If someone has a bunch of existing gold members - perhaps we can write a script to do this (convert old gold members to a new custom membership level) to save time and mistakes.

I don't have a paid system, but how can they make a change of this magnitude without posting a MAJOR WARNING someplace obvious?

Hi,

Hallmarks of " HALF-ASS CODE AND CODERS" or maybe it is supposed to be designed that way to "BAIT N SWITCH".

I have always wondered what those initials meant, now i think i understand....

"All Engineered Dead" (&) Weird Works" - apt desription ?
