Default Re: X-Cart 5.2.14: Vendor rating, Order messages, Bugfixes

NO...it was a disaster...I have become so comfortable with upgrades and their ease that I didn't backup before doing the upgrade on one of my four XC-5.2.13 sites.

I was at first shocked at the sheer amount of updated modules...around 30 of them.

This is unheard of, usually its 2 or 3 modules at a time.

I suspect that the structural changes in 5.2.14 must require many modules to change in order to be compatible.

So, I did the upgrade of all the modules and the Core at once and it was a complete failure. The site went down and it couldn't even read the home page or the admin page. I had to restore from the last backup dated 30 days ago.

After 12 hours of struggling with this, I was able to figure out that I could install only '1' updated module at a time by using the 'advanced' and deselecting all of the other modules. After installing the modules one at a time, it would come of the the stupid 'OOPS' message, but after refreshing the page it would work and I could then select another single module and upgrade it.

After hours of updating the modules one at a time, finally I am down to two modules that simply will NOT update for some strange reason:

Simple CMS and Webmaster Kit.

If I try to upgrade them individually in the 'advanced mode' it simply does not take the upgrade.

and if I do them together it says this:

These components require your attention

These modules may be incompatible with the upcoming upgrade. We do not guarantee that the store will operate correctly if the modules remain enabled. Please consider disabling the modules before you proceed to the next step.

So I cannot understand that those core modules are 'incompatible' with 1/2 of the other core modules? This is crazy...what are we supposed to do?

This has been a terrible upgrade and I am now at a loss what to do with my three other 5.2.13 installations.

please advise...
