Wait a minute, sports fans. Hold on thar! I just did the upgrade in my usual boneheaded fashion, IE: After 1.0.13 was installed, and it went fine. Nothing soiled its nappies or anything.
Now, I am not here to put myself forward as some kind of expert or anything. Trust me, I ain't. I make websites like a medieval metalworker: I just beat on it till it looks like something. In the meantime, it's usually butt-ugly, misshapen and malformed. Kind of like "The Elephant Man" but in PHP/MySQL. But I keep plugging, try to keep the caffeine and sleeplessness to a minimum and read the docs and readme's.
I had done extension upgrades before where the only way was to back out, uninstall in the reverse of the install. So I installed the 1.0.13 "OOPS!" files, backed up my Users table from my database, printed out the readme and read it a few times with my highlighter, developed some understanding, and uninstalled all modules and components in the exact REVERSE of the way you install them. Then, I started over with the new stuff, installing it in the exact manner prescribed in the readme. I then went to the component's plugin manager, uninstalled all the plugins that gone ad patres and Bob's yer' Uncle. Everything works. No soiled nappies and my sheets are whiter, brighter and springtime fresh.
I am not gonna say it's dead simple, but it ain't all that hard. Read the instructions, read them again, take some time to understand them without charging in to it like a psychotic bull on a nasty meth jag and all should go well.
And if whining users, whining because some feature or another doesn't work RIGHT NOW gets under your skin...well, you may be in the wrong line of work. Some people exist to whine. It's their natural state.
Oops. Bad me. I am getting a "restricted access" when attempting to get to the user profiles from the usermenu. Any hot tips on that out there?
