2.3.7 release require any style updates?

[Tracy Perry]

Or is it safe to upgrade to it with the current style base?

Safe to update. The "post_macros" will be outdated which merge template can fix it fine. They added a single line to that template.

I'll be pushing out updates shortly.

Just a heads up on this for anyone else seeing this. Originally planned to get them out this week but I'm stepping out on a short weekend trip and didn't want to release then be gone.

I'll be back Monday and should be able to push them out there. Again though, this update added a single line to post_macros template (as least from the templates we modify) so it's an easy update if you want to do it.

Thanks for the quick reply. I've renewed my license up until January 2027... depending on what version is out and what I am needing I probably will not be renewing past that since Xenforo has revoked my renewal privileges but I'm good until 08/2027. I'm probably going to settle on 2.4 when it comes out and gets stable and just leave the site on it while I look for a replacement script.

Meant to have updates out earlier this week but right before I was ready to ship, I forgot about a larger bug. The search when in the logo block doesn't work with the new thread suggestions and had to be redone. Almost there!

  The core style is still set to 2.3.4?

Update out now?

Not yet, you'll have one outdated template. This release cycle was a little funky and I apologize for the delay. post_macros will be outdated for Xenbase which can be merged using the merge tool easily.

  I still have the error message, and automatic insertion isn’t working. Why don’t you just provide a new XML file?

If you want to submit a ticket, I'll gladly help out. The only change in the 2.3.7 update that is causing any outdated templates is inside of post_macros.

If you open post_macros on the parent level, find:

        <xf:if is="$includeMicrodata">
            <meta itemprop="parentItem" itemscope itemid="{{ link('canonical:threads', $thread) }}" />
        </xf:if>

Replace with:

        <xf:if is="$includeMicrodata">
            <meta itemprop="parentItem" itemscope itemid="{{ link('canonical:threads', $thread) }}" />
            <meta itemprop="name" content="{{ phrase('post_x', {'position': number($post.position + 1)}) }}" />
        </xf:if>

You'll be "updated". I had a series of rather unfortunate events happen in real life that pushed this back a bit. It's not my normal behaviour, and I apologize for that. If this update were truly style-breaking, I'd make it a priority, but at the moment it's a single line that's missing and merge typically works (for most on this one).

Things have settled, and right now I'll probably wait for 2.3.8 and push updates on the day it gets released.

Everything's fine. I didn't know about your situation. I managed to do it, thank you very much.
