Template loss during 1.3->1.73 upgrade

[schrodycat]

I'm doing an upgrade from 1.3 to 1.7.3. After the initial automatic upgrade process in the login page, my template file is severely mangled.

After mangling, there are only two keywords in the template that have values: gmusererrorfootertemplate and gmusererrorheadertemplate. All others are empty.

I've posted before and after files:
Original 1.3: www.jimandbarb.net/gm-templates-old.txt
www.jimandbarb.net/gm-config-old.txt

New 1.7.3: www.jimandbarb.net/gm-templates-new.txt
www.jimandbarb.net/gm-config-new.txt

Any assistance would be appreciated, thanks.

I tried upgrading from 1.3.1 (which is pretty close to 1.3) and it seemed to work. Greymatter may be having difficulty upgrading from 1.3. I will look into this. Meanwhile, I sent the template file to the address listed in the template file. Write back if there are issues.

Hi Coldstone,

Two thoughts. First 1.3 is available on my site web.petefinnigan.com/greymatter.htm - if necessary you could test the upgrade from this version. The second thought is that the OP could upgrade first to 1.3.1 and then to 1.7.3 from there.

cheers

Pete

Thanks Pete. I grabbed 1.3 from your site and will give it a whirl. You have a very useful collection of greymatter releases. I have to download the older ones for myself sometime.
