[P_I]

I used the full package and followed the instructions in https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... date_full/ to update my phpBB test 3.3.8 board without issue. Running on PHP 8.1 (8.1.12).

Sanity testing showing no issues so far.

If it turns out that the RC1 isn't what gets "released," could I still upgrade to the release version or at least a release version of the next version. I just want to make sure there are upgrade paths.

I've updated my post above. I've updated my testing board, not production board. Production board(s) only are updated when actual release has been announced and made available.

Appreciated. The board I was thinking about updating is one step above a blog anyway, so it wouldn't be catastrophic either way.

I did 2 tries to update my test board 3.3.8 -> 3.3.9-RC1 (PHP 7.3). One with changed files, than with full package. Both ended with errors causing by 2 extensions - e.g. Board3 Portal

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Uncaught Twig\Error\LoaderError: Looks like you try to load a template outside configured directories (../theme/portal.css) in "@board3_portal/event/overall_header_head_append.html" at line 2. in /www/htdocs/w01873fa/tf.ladyscommunity.de/public_html/vendor/twig/twig/src/Loader/FilesystemLoader.php:291

Seems something with twig has changed. If I deactivate this extensions the error is gone.

May be Kirk/Marc can find out the problem?

edit://
yes, I got the solution from Kirk. In root/ext/board3/portal/styles/prosilver/template/event/overall_header_head_append.html search all ../theme and replace with @board3_portal

Thank you, Kirk.

Updated without any issues (php 8.1+).

Updated without any issues (php 8.1+).

I did a fresh install. No issues, and seems to be pretty stable. I can see why this is an RC.

[Kirk]

The update (manual method) went without problems, thanks team.

I have also just done the update and it works fine. Thanks to you for this work.
