BP 1.6 Beta1, Trunk v.6132 and updating correctly

    On an Online test site –

    Nothing lost.

    Child theme of bp-default

    I wanted to test the solution Paul did in http://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/bp-1-6-beta1-wp-3-4-multi-site-multi-network-buddypress-group-directory-extras/

    So I replaced BP 1.6 Beta1 with trunk 6132 with the bp-forums folder from Beta1 replacing bp-forums folder of trunk 6132. (is this my problem ?? )

    and pressed all the updating links in the back-end.

    I saw that BuddyPress Group Directory Extras now dragged in activity items into the Group Directory as it was supposed to do . Thanks for fix

    But I have a Problem

    Post Update does not work in any of the forums. The box does NOT enlarge and the button does NOT appear.

    Obviously I am not updating via the trunk correctly.

    Anyway have gone back to BP 1.6 Beta1 for the time being and so far there appears to be no damage.

    Is there a guide or a link to a guide – for well meaning amateurs- for updating via trunk ?

  • Do you upload files to your test site via FTP? Do you have SSH (terminal) access to it? Do you know how to use a terminal to log into another server?

    c-panel

    Do you have SSH (terminal) access to it? Afraid i’m don’t understand this – yet!
    Do you know how to use a terminal to log into another server? no — not yet!

    but i would like to know how to properly update with trunk versions when you have the time to explain.

    At the moment i download zip trunk and alter it rezip and upload with cpanel .

    I can try to help with some basic SVN directions. Are you on a Mac or Windows or Linux?

    Mac

    Ok. Before we play on your test server you need to contact your host and ask if you have SSH access to use a terminal. In the interim, we can try the concept out locally on your Mac.

    How familiar are you with using the Terminal app? (it’s in Applications > Utilities) If not very, you’ll have to do some Googling to figure things out.

    Open the Terminal app. Type these 2 commands:

    cd ~/Desktop
    svn co https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/trunk BuddyPress

    That last command might take a couple of minutes. It’ll download a copy of BP trunk. Look at your desktop, and you’ll find a folder called “BuddyPress” containing… BP trunk :)

    Then wait for the BuddyPress team to do a new update to trunk. Easiest way to do this is keep an eye on https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/log and remember what “Rev” it’s up to. When you spot an update, open Terminal again:

    cd ~/Desktop/BuddyPress
    svn up

    “svn up” is an “update” command. It figures out what SVN revision your checkout of BuddyPress is on, compares that to the version on the server (it remembers what URL you fetched it from originally), and then downloads and applies any updates automatically.

    This is the method I like doing on my servers, so maybe see if it works out for you.

    6142.

    Now just this. So i have beta1 (official) online. Do i just go in and delete one (well – move it to a backup folder) and substitute it with the new one

    ok have put 6142 (from svn) on an online small single install test site and it seems fine – post update fully functional.

    Many many thanks. Will keep posted if any issues become apparent to me

    Sorry, I was up late: BuddyPress.svn.WordPress.org

    Thanks – no problem.

    Have now put 6142 on an online test multisite/multinetwork with quite a number of plugins. so far so good

    For the record, the Terminal commands i used (on a Mac) to do a svn download (if thats the terminology) were

    cd ~/Desktop
    svn co https://svn.buddypress.org/trunk buddypress/
