Ehren Posted July 15, 2021 Posted July 15, 2021 Hi everyone! Following the release of Invision Community 4.6.4 earlier today, I'm happy to announce no theme updates are needed (if you're already using the 4.6.x theme update). You can continue to use that same theme without any issues Happy upgrading! 4 3
stephenrbrueck@gmail.com Posted July 29, 2021 Posted July 29, 2021 How about 4.6.5.1? I have an issue with the Invision calendars and they want me to update Invision so they can troubleshoot. I told them I couldn't update until I knew the theme would be ok. I'm already at 4.6.4 with Invision and up to date with the theme software as well.

(already on 4.6.5.1) According to Theme Differences there are no changes between 4.6.5.1 => 4.6.6. So no theme update needed. EDIT: The tool is temporarily not working as reported here.

Ehren Posted September 10, 2021 Author Posted September 10, 2021 I'll wait for the change log just to be sure, but I don't imagine any changes would be critical
Ehren Posted September 12, 2021 Author Posted September 12, 2021 Just confirming that no changes are needed 1

Ehren Posted September 12, 2021 Author Posted September 12, 2021 Hi @Alistair S Those template files shouldn’t be modified in my themes. They’re potentially modified on your site if you’ve used the “Upload new version” feature when upgrading from 4.4 to 4.5/4.6. The themes were recoded from scratch for the 4.5 update, so the “Upload new version” feature technically shouldn’t have been used since the themes are actually completely different from the 4.4 version. Reverting those template files will work, but a fresh theme installation will also ensure that you’re theme is 100% up to date.

I do recall doing a fresh install at some point but maybe not at 4.5. Uploading a new version seems sensible. Am I right in thinking that I will then need to redo all my colours, icons and any custom CSS (I have some for a divider after pinned topics)? There's no way to copy those, is there? Thanks for any advice! Edit: Actually, I've made the needed changes now, so all should be good. It would still be interesting to know if colours, etc. can be copied across, though (but I suspect not!) Also, after I had uploaded a fresh version and created a child, etc. I still got a warning on upgrade (highlights some HTML but no CSS) - but I went ahead anyway.

There unfortunately isn't a quick way to transfer theme settings though, so you'll need to do that part manually. 14 hours ago, Alistair S said: Also, after I had uploaded a fresh version and created a child, etc. I still got a warning on upgrade (highlights some HTML but no CSS) - but I went ahead anyway. Strange, do you know what template files were mentioned?

I should have captured it at the time. However, I'm pretty sure it was flagging up the html differences shown here when comparing 4.6.5.1 with 4.6.6 I'm not seeing any issues, though. 1 1
