0.9.6.3 RC2 is ready

We should be really close with this one. Please test, particularly with upgrades.

I’m going through a few tests on this latest release candidate and one thing...

Is there any chance that issue MODX-410 ( http://svn.modxcms.com/jira/browse/MODX-410 ) will get addressed for the 0.9.6.3 release? For anyone using manager roles and access permissions it is a bit of a show stopper. Thanks!

Upgrade
Have upgraded 1 site and it ran OK, except still shows 0.9.6.3-RC1 in the manager
So my question is, how do you know what version you are really running or check it has upgraded?

New Install
Failed to do a fresh install (on an account which has installed fine before) as I got an error on the database connection:

Using:
SET CHARACTER SET
utf8_general_ci

Checking database: failed - database collation mismatch; use SET NAMES or choose latin1_swedish_ci

managed to get around this by replacing these files in /install:
action.connection.php
and the 5 files which start connection.

Don’t know which file may be causing the issue, I was just guessing, but after replacing the files with the RC1 versions it installed fine.

This is not an issue.  You need to follow what is says, either select SET NAMES for connection method to have everything translated by MySQL to/from utf8 or select the latin1_swedish_ci collation that the install detected as your actual database collation.

Hi OpenGeek

OK, I was confused that it seemed to have changed compared to earlier installs.

When I click to test the connection ’Set CHARACTER SET’ and utf8_general_ci was selected in the drop down boxes

When you then click to create the database, I get the error.

Have just re-tested and you are right, if you change the SET NAMES it then works, thanks.

$database_connection_method is no longer used in that file, so this could not possibly be the updated release you have installed. Are you sure you uploaded all the files?

Yes.

I used this wiki page for the upgrade process > http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Upgrading_Guide

Could someone who more technical knowledge look into those two issues? I’m trying to see if those are creating an issue w/ my MyBB forum.

(Whee, 800 posts. ^.^)

I think I found a (minor) bug in Resources > File Manager.

When I upload a file, it gets stored in the correct folder.
However, when I click the disk-icon later, it shows a wrong link.

wrong:
http://localhost/modx-0.9.6.3-rc2/manager/../assets/flash/test.swf


correct:
http://localhost/modx-0.9.6.3-rc2/assets/flash/test.swf

paths are correct in Tools > Configuration


In assets/images (where you get a magnifying glass icon instead of the floppy-disk icon),
nothing happens when I click it. Images are no longer shown below the upload form input.
