Site is up but lots of thinks are missing.
Since this is all new to me I don't know what is normal and what isn't but I will start with the major stuff where I am sure something must be wrong.
I upgraded from 2.0.9 testing each upgrade and didn't have a problem untill the last major 2.2.3

1) The first admin page is blank
2) Menu now on top left, there is one link for system the rest are all modules, but in system there is no link for module installation block maintnance. etc.
Only Search Options, Meta Tag, General Settings,Word Censoring, Mail Setup, Auth options.

My whole front page was full of blocks, they are all gone except the onces in the far left, the blocks from the news Module are also gone. But when I go in to forums, or other modules the blocks are still there.

I was going to update the modules but I can't find where the install, upgrade links are for modules, they are not here.

I will keep searching and hopefully not find more things wrong here.

Thanks for your help, I really need it right now.

Re: upgrade 911

First check the templates section and see if any need generating.

See the XOOPS 2.2 Tutorial section for more clues. The first (tour) one will help you find your way around a little.

Edit: If you have cloned templates from an earlier version they will be no good any more. Best to reclone fresh.

I have switched to the default templates there is more wrong then just the templates.
In my Classifieds module there is a link for blocks, when i click on that I get a blank page.
That is the only link to blocks I have.

There is no templates section along with module install and block maintnance it is missing.

I will restore from backup and restart.

I will turn all modules of before i upgrade and then turn them on one by one.

I let you know what happens

it pays to read the tutorial and also look around in the menus available in admin..

it is different. its intentional, it's blank intentionally in admin..

module admin is in modules > administration..

templates is undert misc tools > templates..

at least look around 1st..

I reinstalled all again.
I have turned off gzip, why do I have turn that off or was i supposed to turn it of before install?

I still have menus missing in the admin menu

However i found that I can access the pages by entering the link in to the browser like this:
/modules/system/admin.php?fct=blocksadmin&selmod=0

There I added a block and it shows up on the front.

So it seams it isn't all that bad - I just got admin menu items missing but I can access the pages.

I don't know for sure because I don't know all the links but blocks does work. Nice work by the way, guys!

So why are my menu items missing?
Where are they supposed to be anyway?
There is nothing in Misc.Tools

Oh and old block links like follwing don't work anymore, but that isn't a big deal if I can just get my XOOPS admin and system menus.
modules/piCal/admin/myblocksadmin.php


Any ideas?

all the menu items go horizontally across the top of the page below the header..

u dont get the module images like on 2.0 series..

gzip doesn't work, there's an undiscovered bug/issue with it that the devs are trying to fix.. by all accounts it should work but unfortunately doesn't and when debug is turned on at same time it will cause your site to crash..

Ok
I just watched the Flash tutorial (Thanks great work)
I can see the menu up top but I don't have followning links, they are not there?

Modules - Blocks - Users

Misc. Tools is blank there is no menu caming down.

The menus Action and Preferences work fine.

A reinstall isn't fixing it, what else can I do?

Ok this isn't a 911 anymore I have restored to the old version.

My problems is still the same when I upgrade to the new version the new menu system has following items missing:

Modules - Blocks - Users

"Misc. Tools" is blank there is no menu caming down.

everything else seams to work fine.

What can I do, would suck to be stuck at this version.

Thanks

With the next version you should be able to upgrade directly from 2.0.13... so I suggest waiting.
