mymtgstore Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I tried this on 2 separate sites I have, from 1.5.6.1 and 1.5.6.2 to 1.6. Both pretty much standard install, and both horribly broken after the upgrade: http://www.allthingsccg.com/index.php http://testpresta.trueseeing.com/index.php I guess the only solutions: 1 - Install from scratch and avoid the headaches? 2 - Install a new store, and compare the modules / hooks to try to restore the upgraded site to the correct setting? Any other ideas? Did the prestashop team even test a simple upgrade scenario, going from stock 1.5.6.2 to 1.6? It should work, but it doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdr170 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 After upgrade did you switch the theme from the 1.5 to the 1.6 theme, 1.5 theme will not work with 1.6. Here is a link to my 1.5 to 1.6 test site using the 1.6 theme. (modified to my taste) http://team-shepherdusa.com/shop15/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pronux Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 After upgrade did you switch the theme from the 1.5 to the 1.6 theme, 1.5 theme will not work with 1.6. You, mean in general, a 1.5 will not work with 1.6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdr170 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Correct, there are a number of differences between the 1.5 and 1.6 themes, one example would be the new module hook positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keitaro Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 hello, a suggestion also to check is that unwanted modules were re enabled. My site was a mess bcause it re-enabled all the default menus etc i don`T use. Also regenerating images and clearing smarty cache helped now i just have some annoying flickering img issue and some images don`T scale correct seem to have changed the size?

Pronux Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 ok, thanks, this is very important to know. So in most cases, if a 1.5 user cannot get an update for his theme/template, he cannot upgrade to 1.6 without modifying the template himself, right?

tdr170 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Wrong, the 1.5 theme does not have any updates that will make it compatible with 1.6. But lets say you modified the 1.5 theme to be a two column page and that is how you want 1.6 to look, you will then need to modify the theme with 1.6 to resemble the two column layout such as I did with my test site. So if you are happy with the standard theme layout shipped with 1.6 you want need to modify the template. As with any upgrade the new upgrade will have modules enabled by default that may not have been part of your original shop or modules that you did not use. There is an option on the upgrade page so that non native modules (modules you installed) to be or not be disabled during upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymtgstore Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Strange. I checked my theme options, and there is no 1.5 / 1.6, only default-bootstrap, selected by default!

XtreM726 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 switch back to your previous version, i think ver 1.6 not stable yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detelin Markov Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 switch back to your previous version, i think ver 1.6 not stable yet. Agree! The few hours delay yesterday at the release of release are indicative that there seems to be problems with this version. I personally met some problems and I can not get my theme also modified from version 1.5 to work correctly on 1.6. Work, but I can not add the left column. I think the update should affect only the administration first and only then to introduce bootstrap for client end . Now many traders are confused because the new client part seems odd . I will be wait for next release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukbaz Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Usual 'stable' release issues then! Not quitesure 'stable' is appropriate lately with Prestashop upgrade process. Does anyone at Presta ever test it out on a live, real worls server before release, by upgrading an earlier version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellini13 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 this is what happens when you try to be early adopters. the version is PS v1.6.0.5, that means 5 minor alpha releases before being declared 'stable'... Always allow new software to mature before you move to it. Always test the upgrade process on a copy of your store to determine what issues you will have before breaking your production store.

Always allow new software to mature before you move to it. Always test the upgrade process on a copy of your store to determine what issues you will have before breaking your production store. Good advice, I always test on a test site and once I have the bugs worked out then and only then do I use the upgrade. I also use this time to modify the theme to my liking along with any other options I want.
