EDIT GLOBAL MOD
last minute small bug:
see here until package is updated
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg455550

Updating, good job team.

I upgraded, but the version number on the home screen still says 1.0.10.

Try setting your site to offline, then try the upgrade again.

Tried it on both sites, but it still says 10. I am using JoomlaXplorer, and I get a "Extraction successful" message.

Confirmed. I upgraded from .10 to .11 and it still shows .10 on the system info sceen.

But thanks for the upgrade in the first place.

[wait - might not be confirmed]

I'm wrong! It system info screen shows .11, it is fine. Sorry.

I don't have any control over the global php settings, my hoster does.

Is there a way to "turn off" the yellow security warnings box?

Only for the Admin 'home' page

Modules -> Administrator Modules -> Quick Icons -> Security Check = Hide

However, in the Global Config and System Info page the warning will remain - which is intentional.



Though you should be urging your hoster to change PHP server settings to something more secure.

How do I go about getting these updates in fantastico? If I upgrade without using fantastico will I compromise future update capability via fantastico?

That'll work.  Thanks!

Just finished 1.0.9 -> 1.0.11, and the admin screen nagged me about two security settings that where previously ok.

All readings look nominal

Yeah I would like to know about Fantastico. They don't show an upgrade button to upgrade the installation.

Should I download "Joomla_1.0.0_to_1.0.11-Stable-Patch_Package.zip" and overwrite the existing files using cPanel or FTP?

Thanks for any assistance you can give.

If anyone else is using Fantastico:

I just did the upgrade by FTPing the files using FileZilla to my site. It upgraded fine.

well frogseggs!
I went to do the switching off of the security check thing, as per Stingreys post: " Modules -> Administrator Modules -> Quick Icons -> Security Check = Hide" and I got this:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: josgetarrayints() in /home/armers/public_html/administrator/components/com_modules/admin.modules.php on line 28

Nate, my wonderful webhost has fixed this problem for me.....it was actually caused by ME, NOT the upgrade.... I will now take my DUMB bunnybutt out of here....and I would like to thank, also,...the Joomla! Heroes, who help so many, so much. And for all you others out there.................READ THE FORUMS, especially when it's such a new topic like this! Give our Heroes a break from answering the same questions, over and over!

Thanks Rey for your ever so quick release and hard work. All is working fine.

Just a quick note about the htaccess it is a adivse if you are upgrading from an older release to use the new .htaccess file since it has a few settings inside that you can turn on to further protect yourself from hackers. So move you old settings over and delete your old .htaccess file to be replace with this newer one.

Thanks to Rey for adding more protection and all beta testers.

It is good to know that security take precedence here.  I have 29 or so Joomla sites to patch. 
I've done two so far.  Problem with Joomlaboard (latest version) encountered.

Selecting an existing topic throws the following:

any thoughts on this?

1. THANKS! to all of you very hard working people - Rey - Robin - Beat - Websmurf - Ot2sen - Jean-Marie - RobS -- and all of the devs who helped - Rey, Andrew, Enno, Matt, Marco, Robin, Hannes and Louis. You guys work like a well oiled machine. Rey in particular for everyting this whole first year of Joomla!. Thank you.

2. Little thing: The button on the main page/news page still says 1.0.10

3. Clarify Security Check suggestion On a new install, it does not make sense to warn people for a setting in a file Joomla! is going to provide. (I understand why.) But, people are going to be confused. Further, when you click the link to the Checklist, it is not clear what linking there has to do with the emulate register_globals setting. I suggest updating the Checklist with this explanation at the top (also added in Du Vien's recommendation on htaccess, I agree.):

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Installation Message #1: Joomla! RG_EMULATION setting is `ON` instead of `OFF` in file globals.php
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
After the installation, we recommend you edit the globals.php file located in the root directory of your website for increased security.

Locate this parameter (as pictured next):

define( 'RG_EMULATION', 1 );

Change the 1 (as pictured above) to 0 (as pictured below):

define( 'RG_EMULATION', 0 );

Warning: Some extensions will not work with this variable off. In testing, we identified several and notified third party developers. Some fixes are already available. If you find an extension that does not work, report it. Review and report such extensions, and find upgrades, here: < http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,86525.0.html >. Questions about this setting should also be asked in that thread.

You can leave the globals.php file without changes knowing you are choosing a diminished safety level.

After the installation, we highly recommend you use the blocking rules that are now part of the default .htaccess file delivered with 1.0.11. Those using an older htaccess file are strongly encouraged to add this to their file. See < http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg388584 > for more information or to ask .htaccess related questions.

The suggestion above is in the attached text file if you want it.

Thanks so much to all of you, again. Amy

Jon -

Looks like Websmurf has Joomlaboard listed as one of those extensions fixed due to the RG_EMULATION flag. Check this post for the upgrade: < http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,86525.0.html >.

Good luck. Amy

It is a new function in joomla.php... I suspect that your upgrade did not go correctly.  You should set your site to offline before upgrading as a file may be being read at the time you run the unpack causing it not to be overwritten.  Setting your site to offline will cause as few files as possible to be read locked if a visitor is on your site (index.php and offline.php only I think).  Try it again.

WARNING!
------------GLOBAL MOD EDIT: last minute small bug found in admin.mambots.php
While waiting for new package (1.0.12), find file below.

This is an official fix!

EDIT: You have to be registered on this forum to see the link to download the file. Sorry for this inconvenience.

Unzip file and place into "/administrator/components/com_mambots"

I upgraded.. but now my joomla is giving a error:

Fatal error: Undefined class name 'modules_html' in /xx/xxx/xxx/includes/frontend.php on line 166

(I put in X's to hide sensitive info)

this is totally messed up! what can I do?

Be sure to ftp a clean frontend.html.php file.

upgraded without any problem at first notice, ,thanks

Hi All,

Just a small reminder: this is the announcement topic about the 1.0.11 release. If you experience any problems after installation and/or upgrading, please post in the Upgrading (http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/board,36.0.html) forum, or if you think you experience a problem/bug, post in our Q&T forum (http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/board,198.0.html).

It becomes very hard to try and help everyone here if they post problems. Topics like this tend to have many replies 

Thanks for your cooperation. Regards Robin

what do i have to do? do i have to wait for 1.0.12 to have a working update? for whom is the fix? it is difficult to find out because of the different timezones.

The fix is from Andrew (dev).
You may upgrade now if you wish.
The fix corrects a bug which makes mambots uneditable.
Just replace the file through ftp.

thanks for your blazing fast answer!
could you tell me (and the rest of the community) WHERE to
copy the admin-file to?
thanks!

/administrator/components/com_mambots is the location of the file.

done from 1.0.10 to 1.0.11 overwriting files with Filezilla FTP client.
at first time polls and some menus in the backend didn't work well.
at second overwriting it works well but:
- JCE comp: if i chose JCE Configuration from the menu an alert says: Restricted Access and i can't access jce config (even if it's still working)
- JACPLUS: doesn't work so i've uninstalled it and now i'm re-installing it.

Hi sgabbio,

For JACLPlus to work, you will need a current patch from the JACLPlus developer since his patch overwrites core files. You can only upgrade to 1.0.11. if you have a patch from them as well.
