Mysidia Adoptables v1.2.2[Security Release]

[Hall of Famer]

I'd like to announce that Mysidia Adoptables v1.2.2 is now officially released to public. This is another Mys v1.2.x series security releases that add two more new features together with one user profile fix. Other than the upgrader of Mys v1.2.1 to Mys v1.2.2, it is also possible to upgrade from Mys v1.1.4 to Mys v1.2.2 with a mega-upgrader.


New Features:
1. Donation System: The donation system seemed to be present in Mys v1.1.x series, but with tons of glitches. The new donation system for Mys v1.2.2 was designed by Fadillzzz, and it should be good to use.

2. Friend/Friend list System: Starting from Mys v1.2.2, your members can add each other to friend list by sending out friend requests, which must be approved by another user. You may restrict PM or Trade usage to your friends only with this new feature. In future the friend system will be integrated with lots of new features.

3. Profile Fix: As ChibiKawaii mentioned in Mys v1.2.1's official release thread, the user profiles were messed up if they have yet to set avatars and favorite pets. This issue is now fixed in Mys v1.2.2.

4. Mega-Upgrader from Mys v1.1.4 to Mys v1.2.2: Yes, it is finally possible to upgrade from old Mys v1.1.x series to Mys v1.2.x. An upgrader from Mys v1.1.4 to Mys v1.2.2 is available to download, while users running earlier versions of Mys v1.1.x may need to upgrade to Mys v1.1.4 first to use this upgrader.


To install the script, simply upload all files within the subfolder 'Installation' inside the zip file to your adoptables directory. It should be quite self-explanatory, read ChibiKawaii's tutorials if you have trouble installing the script. Note an installer script can be accessed by the directory 'Install', it can be accessed easily. Do NOT upload the entire Mys122 folder to your server, it will not work this way.

To upgrade from Mysidia Adoptables version 1.2.1, you will have to do is to upload files within the folder 'Upgrade' to your adoptables directory. The config.php file has been removed from subfolder Upgrade, so you are not likely to suffer the same issue as Elfhome had with Mys v1.2.1. When it asks you whether to overwrite your old files, choose yes to proceed. After this is done, run the upgrader script and follow the instructions as provided. It should take only a few secs to upgrade. Keep in mind that the upgrader script is in the 'Install' folder, you may access it through the following link below:

yoursitename.com/install/upgrade.php

or if you are using a subdirectory, use this:

yoursitename.com/adoptablesdirectory/install/upgrade.php


After upgrading to Mys v1.2.2, please do remove your upgrader script file through ftp to prevent security issues in future. This upgrader script only works for users running Mys v1.2.1, do not use if you are running an older version of Mysidia Adoptables.

The Mega-upgrader, on the other hand, has been uploaded to Megaupload separately. In order to upgrade from Mys v1.1.4 to Mys v1.2.2, you pretty much need to overwrite all script files(except for config.php, keep this in mind) in your adoptables directory. Then follow the same procedure as introduced for Mys v1.2.1 to Mys v1.2.2 upgrader. Note you may not be able to upgrade successfully if your site is heavily customized with Mys v1.1.x Mods.
