Update.php, Post Update , Drupal and Zen Theme
Sat, 13/03/2010 - 03:57
When calling the report update in Drupal, the Theme that is installed (by ProsePoint) requests a recommended verion of 6.x1.1 to be upgraded. After installing the Zen theme update, update.php stopped working. I also tried 6.x2.0 beta1 and this caused the same issue. I backed it off to 6.x-1.0-beta1 and bingo...update works as expected. As to the why, I am not sure since I am not an advanced themer nor am I clear on how Zen works with TMA or TMA2.
I am keeping 6.x-1.0-beta1 for a while. After I reverted it back to this version, update.php started working again and all is right in the world.
Hi,
Yeah, sorry about this :)
ProsePoint uses a version of Zen which is quite old now and I guess ... if you try to move to a recent version of Zen, things will break ... although it should be just minor breakage rather than something as drastic as update.php failing.
I've been thinking of redoing the default ProsePoint theme to be standalone instead of being dependent on Zen. Perhaps at the beginning of creating ProsePoint, that was the better choice, but now in hindsight, I think this dependency is causing more hassle than I would like.
