Very disgusted

I'm not going to spend 10min writing why am i so disgusted with the amount of time i have to wait for a zip file so i can download my apps that i paid for so i can re-build my site due to an upgrade i did to 10.1.0 that destroyed my website. I've been thinking lately very heavily to throw this project head first into my BBQ grill and lite it UP! Not a happy camper here! Peace out and wash your hands, keep 6 or 7ft between you and that BS virus!

Too many bugs!

    • Hi Will - I am sorry you are having such issues and not much help in getting things corrected. Starting over is not easy.  I have done it a few times when I switched CMS and Social Networks. Don't abandon your project - it may be better to try another platform. I am a huge fan of Elgg and have it running on some sites.  I also have humhub running one of my sites.

      My main site molosserdogs.com is a UNA site and I have had good success with it. I had a few problems when I switched from Dolphin and got help from UNA team and a super cool programmer friend I have who does stuff for IBM.

      I do hope that someone from UNA jumps in and help you out before you have to chuck it on the grill and fire it UP.

        • MSolutions THAT is awesome. Thanks for offering to help out Will Monte I do hope you guys get it sorted and he can move on with his project.

          • Let's do this the easy way. So, you have already reloaded your site anyways so why not take the Developer module that I have attached (version 10.0.0 so it will work with your version) and let's get you upgraded to the latest RC2 version. You would need to FTP this to your modules/boonex directory and install it, then change the Upgrade Channel to Beta and let's do it! If you need help, just ask. NOTE: You need to make sure your Cron Job is setup properly.  

            As mentioned by MSolutions - You do not have to wait, you can download any of the older versions of the modules from the Market that you want. You just have to manually FTP them and then install them. However, I would suggest just getting to RC2 and not worrying about it.   

            • Run a mirror site if possible better safe than sorry

              • I dont recommend to use alpha, beta nor rc on live sites

                • Will Monte I think if you went hosted, a lot of these small things that add up to big issues would go away. 

                  This process of creating should at least be kind of fun, not so stressful. I'll help too man.

                  I think you may be able to take a backup of your site and restore to Una Hosted (retaining your members data), thing use the same domain and your members should only see an improvement.

                    I am hosted with TMD and they are awesome. I have one of their VPS packages. You can autoinstall UNA from their cpanel.  Also mine actually autoupdate from TMD. All good so far.

                    • I am trying our Elgg. It looks like you have to use the developer plugin to revise your theme. Just looking at it. Are you using the developer plug-in?

                      • I had good luck with TMDhosting, and good luck it is, because any server is just as good as the people running it, which means that if there is a change of staff or of the CEO, that same very best server can convert into the very worse. It happened to me at Arvixe and even for a while with Zarconia some time back (when Nathan disappeared). Who knows? May be that he transitted to some other universe where the stress factor is nil.

                        Never rely on any server backing up your site on a daily basis, because if something happens by an act of God or man, that guarantee will go up in smoke before your very eyes.

                        I learnt the hard way to back up once a week or biweekly or monthly and doing so with an ethernet cable directly to the router. Once I did a backup by wifi and regretted it as the packages in the zip file were corrupt and were invalid because of faulty transmission causing skips.

                        Point is: Don't be lazy! Have confidence in automation but always fall back to the good ole manual backup every once in a while.

                        • Guys, i don't understand how bugs have anything to do with hosting. Hosting is by far any problem or concerns with me. I have yet to see any stable version without any bug issues. I appreciate the offers for helping me, but i have to think real well if i can deal with the fact of waiting and waiting for a simple request and it continues to be ignored. Honesty and loyalty is huge to me.

                          • Can you tell us what bugs you're comming across? If you have an older version the bugs may be fixed in a newer version.

                              Guys listen bro, my problem goes way back from v9 to v10 and many other issues. I thank you all, it is what it is. Continue helping others and reporting issues and bugs. It's too late, i had to start over and now i am waiting for a zip file to have access to apps for v10.1.0. 

                              I'm good right now, thanks!

                                              • The situation with older versions of modules is not as straightforward as it may seem. First, there is no automated way or manual to install modules directly outside of studio and UNA market. Second, if you do manage to update it would become a special case that may not be accounted for in future updates, license verification and compatibility checks. 

                                                Will, please let me know why not update to 11rc2 and run current modules? They are all fairly stable and you get new ones. What‘s going on with your site that it needs manual updates?

                                                I have raised a question of preparing a 10.1 module package but immediately we saw how it can create confusion and further problems, so please let me know more context. 

                                                • I updated already to 11RC2 and it solved some issues from older version. Well done and keep going.

                                                    Andrew, you may recall that I did an upgrade to 10.0.0 and 10.1.0 and
                                                    there was corruption in the database and even with help from the UNA
                                                    team I was unable to recover. I was forced to do a complete wipe and
                                                    install of 10.1.0. My hosting company told me to make a backup first
                                                    but I foolishly went ahead with the UNA upgrade without making a backup
                                                    first. I like to stay with full releases and don't upgrade until later
                                                    when I am certain that the new release is bug free. I am running a
                                                    production site and I have been down for weeks now. I can't install any
                                                    apps/modules because they all state they are incompatible with my
                                                    version. Therefore I am dead in the water as far as rebuilding my site.
                                                    I am worried that my members will desert me if this goes on too long.

                                                            • No, I can't proceed to build, I can't download the modules as I keep seeing wrong version.

                                                              • Were you able to get to UNA 11 Beta 1 at least?

                                                                  • Oh OK cool... So the current is RC2 if you didn't know already.. So there was Beta 1, 2, RC1, RC2 if I recall correctly.. 

                                                                    • Oh OK cool... So the current is RC2 if you didn't know already.. So there was Beta 1, 2, RC1, RC2 if I recall correctly..

                                                                        • Will Monte , can you apply the new v11 final now?

                                                                          Yes, but i just wish you guys can slow down a bit and try to focus on the bugs of a specific version, then move on to the following release, that's all. I guess i have to start from the bottom up. I'll deal with it. It is what it is.

                                                                          • The reason why there's so many versions between 10.1.0 and 11.0.0 is because each step is to deal with bugs and make sure no other bugs occur. A lot of times they solve a bunch of bugs in beta but then a bunch more pop up. I know it can be frustrating and it takes awhile to go to a steadier version but Every time they add new mods or new apps it's inevitable that new bugs are gonna pop up. Now that it's version 11.0.0 and most of the apps needed to run most social networks are now on the Market, I think UNA should focus on video chat/streaming. 

                                                                            • You almost had me in total agreement until you said UNA should focus on video chat/streaming. 😎 I think they should complete the ability for public chat channels before video streaming. In my option, I think more would benefit from having a "Public/Private Chat" feature versus live streaming. Not everyone wants to be on camera hahaha.  However, live streaming can be right after that 😉 

                                                                              • Technically if they worked on live streaming/video chat the ability to have group chat would be there after completion. It would essentially be killing two birds with one stone. 

                                                                                • Hey now,  don't get technicalities involved in this 😂😂😂
