Error after upgrade from github

[koolaid2]

Hei

I got error after upgradering from github on one of my sites.

I have tested doing a new install og Joomla 3.x whit fabrik and everything are working after installing the Fabrik Beta but after upgradering from Github I got error:

Notice: Use of undefined constant DS - assumed 'DS' in /sites/xxx/fixn/plugins/system/fabrik/defines.php on line 22 Notice: Use of undefined constant DS - assumed 'DS' in /sites/xxx/fixn/plugins/system/fabrik/defines.php on line 22 Warning: require_once(/sites/xxx/fixnDScomponents/com_fabrik/models/fabrik.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /sites/xxx/fixn/plugins/system/fabrik/defines.php on line 53 Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/sites/xxx/fixnDScomponents/com_fabrik/models/fabrik.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /sites/xxx/fixn/plugins/system/fabrik/defines.php on line 53


Any ideas on what is wrong?

sounds like you updated from the master branch and not the joomla3 branch

To update the beta make sure you download fabrik_joomla3.zip.

On Github you can select which fork you want to download, although some links take you directly to the fabrik_joomla3 fork.

I do the following:
- Download this zip, uncompress it (and look it over a bit)
- Recompress so it can be used in public_html.
- Upload as a single zip, unzip and check for errors
- Clear cache and checkin databases. I also checkin plugins, do a discover to look for updates...
- Spot check the site to see if anything is broken. : - )

With the first beta update, I also installed all plugins. Also, I reviewed all of the configuration options.

Btw, fabrik-3.0.8.nnnn.xxxx.zip will update fabrik 3.0.8, which is J2.5 only. fabrik_master and others seem less active at this point, and relevant items will probably be migrated into the fabrik_joomla3 as needed. You can see the change logs to each fork for good info.

Going forward, I plan to update weekly, or if I see anything that applies to me in Rob's update log. And, I will probably update using wget from the command line or a shell script.

It is really a pleasure moving to responsive templates and fabrik -- in just a few days I have a strong prototype that works on lots of devices. I am looking forward to the full Fabrik 3.1, but in the meantime it should be easy to check the SQL database entries, the source itself, and do final testing.

thanks for the clear post, just to add that its very unlikely that we make structural db changes to fabrik. Issues might occur between 3.0b and the current code, if you were using custom php code to access posted form data and that data was in a join as we've made a breaking change there - the join data is no longer within a nested array, but apart from that things should be the same
