I need to upgrade v4.8.1 to v4.8.2. Are you going to provide a v4.8.1 to v4.8.2 upgrade patch or a list of the changed files in v4.8.2?
Also, have you updated the General Nova template? I can see in the release notes that you now provide support for Bootstrap 4. Is that on the frontend or the backend?
Thanks
In the thread entitled " Version Upgrade", Rudi said the v4.8.1 to v4.8.2 "patch" will be released next week:Quote:

I do not know the answer to your second question about whether they updated the General Nova template.
Thanks Joe.
I have the same question: Were the templates updated?
guys,
I installed 4.8.2 on my .com site last night.
I then took the css file from my .com.au site wich runs 4.8.1 and stuck it into the 4.8.2 version.
Everything not working as it should. obviously it wont because the css files are now completely diff.
However i also copied the whole templete folder over from 4.8.1 to 4.8.2, then got errors.
So what i done in the end was to sit and change all the css entries that i made in 4.8.1 and edited it on 4.8.2.
Then everything works.
4.8.2 is a nice version, specially for SEO, and if you use the wide templates you can have now 3 columns wich includes the side bar if you wish. cannot be happier.
i think with bootstrap 4 you have more stuff available to change the look if you have css knowledge.
Im not waiting for the patch cause i had some time to sit and change it. still busy.
Thank you for posting.
I already posted a ticket to have Flynax install the patch when it becomes available.
I am okay re-doing the looks of the website.
kiowa,
Can you run a Google PageSpped Insight test on the new software for us?
- https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/
I appreciate if you can and understand it you are very busy.
why is it better for seo?
I am wondering if there was an improvement to Kiowa's PageSpeed score.
They did add:
- Output Image Format & WebP
- Bootstrap 4.0
For the blind in one eye people (me) can I get some clarification.
I stopped updating because everytime a new version came out it was always like starting over.
Fix all of the existing bugs
Redo all of the CSS
start all new listings
everything from the ground up so to avoid I say no to upgrades to new versions.
But if I am reading this right ? and where I need clarification we can use a patch? to upgrade but keep all of our listings? but we still lose CSS and need to redo that?
Just really confused about how this works now.
I looked at adding the events plugin but I can not see it on the list so I guess to use it I need to upgrade? but do not want to lose all of my work so how does one do this?

Hello Pete,
I don't see any problems with updating the script
If you find it difficult you can request us to do it
For that create a list of fixes and modifications that should be saved/migrated
Rudi,
Please correct me if I am wrong:
1. If you use the patch, you do NOT lose any existing listing already published.
2. Some but NOT ALL of the bug fixes we corrected on our websites were added to the new update.
3. All the CSS, IS LOST when we update to the new version.
The only issue I see are the bug fixes on our websites.
sort of what I want to know as wellQuote:

- Fixed all existing bugs: Not really, you need to check bug fixes log. Some bugs and customization aren't included. That's why you need to keep them noted down.
- Redo CSS, mostlikely yes. Some template structure might be changed and new stuff added. I reccommend downloading their fresh template, and starting adding css back.
1. The patch doesn't affect listings
2. Of course, not all the bugs discussed on the forum were included in the last update (the full list of the fixes you can check via Version Changelog)
3. If the patch includes css files it might overwrite the custom changes in your css file
All good guys I think this will be the way forward for me then and I would have flynax upgrade the patches for me + keep a list of any bugs that may need fixing + CSS alterations. Thank you all.
Pete,
I only use the Flynax support tickets for bug fixes.
It is nice to discuss the bugs on the forum, but a nightmare to track in the long run.
I plan to pay to get the patch update and then purchase paid support to squash any bugs not fixed in the update.

But theres a difference of average 20 - 30 %.
my mobile score on .com is about 57%
my score on .com.au is about 30 %
Same scripts same templates.
I must add i went and tested some wordpress classified sites of guys i know and they all score way worse than flynax! they all have less than 20% and not even valid for the lightspeed test.
So i know for a fact that every little improvement flynax makes on plugins ,upgrades and the likes are worth it.
I think flynax scores realy well considering all the css and java on the script.
Thanks for the update.
Sounds very promising.
I can't wait to get my hands on the new update.
Thanks again.
