Upgrading from InstantKB.NET 2.0 to 2.0.1

Upgrading from InstantKB.NET 2.0 to 2.0.1

If your currently running InstantKB.NET 2.0.0 we would suggest you update to the latest InstantKB.NET 2.0.1 release. This update resolves a number of small problems found within the 2.0.0 release. For a complete list of changes please see the list below.

You can find information on how to upgrade from 2.0.0 to the 2.0.1 update at the bottom of this document.

2.0.1 Fixes

Fixed issue with secondary categories cache not updating correctly when editing content.
Fixed issue with custom troubleshooter tabs.
Fixed issues with print article page when logged in as administrator.
Fixed a number of issues if you created custom tab and provide both a "Tab Type" and "Redirect URL.
Redirect links on manage tabs page now work correctly for redirect tabs.
Added additional checks to staff CP to ensure an exception is not raised if your staff member does not have access to any tabs.
Fixed issue if you removed all member groups from a tab and then tried to edit the tab.
Tab options within the left pane of the Admin CP will always display all tabs now regardless of defined member groups.
Confirmation message is now displayed when editing a member within either the staff or admin cp.
Fixed issue which prevented you from modify various tab settings (member & staff permissions, views, statuses, attachmenttypes etc) from within the Admin CP if the tab was not associated with the Administrator member group.
Fixed RegEx validation for custom fields. (thanks MT)
Fixed "Object reference not set to instance of an object" exception when deleting certain custom fields.
Fixed attachment icon on manage attachment types to display a default attachment icon if you don't select an icon.
Fixed incorrect report data if you selected the "Include sub categories" yet selected a category with no child categories.
Fixed issue with report chart not updating correctly between post backs.

2.0.1 Changes

Administrators can no longer view all content regardless of member group relationships within the front-end knowledgebase. This was causing confusion when updating content as it was still appearing. All content (categories, articles, RSS) regardless of member group relationships are still displayed to administrators within the Admin & Staff CP. Security trimmed results are still applied to staff members who don't belong to the administrator group within the staff CP.
When clicking search within the Staff CP when managing content it will now default to the Advanced Search view.
If staff members have the option enabled to edit members within the staff CP they will no longer be able to edit or delete administrator profiles.

How to upgrade from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1

1. Download the latest 2.0.1 update from within your My.InstantASP area. Extract the zip file contents to your desktop.

2. Copy the entire contents of the "InstantKB20" folder (excluding the web.config) over the top of your existing 2.0.0 files. If you've modified the MasterPage.master or any CSS files please ensure you back these up before replacing. Once you are running on 2.0.1 you would simply copy your MasterPage.Master and CSS files back into the skin directory.

3. Run the attached script against your existing 2.0.0 database. You can also find the attached scripts within the 2.0.1 download within the [INSTALLDIR]\DatabaseScripts\UpgradeScripts\2.0_to_2.0.1.sql. You will need to execute this script against your 2.0. database using SQL Server 2005 Management Studio or Query Analyzer within SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Manager.

4. Navigate to your existing 2.0.0 installation within your browser. The version information within the footer should now read "Powered by InstantKB.NET 2.0.1". This indicates the update was successful.

If you run into any problems or have any questions regarding this update please don't hesitate to open a support ticket, post within our InstantKB.NET 2.0 forum or content us.
