Software Installation

Download Software Fixes (Patches)

Occasionally, we will backport important updates to previous versions in the form of patches.  This will allow administrators to resolve issues with their sites without having to always update to the latest version of liveSite.  Also, patches may contain updates that will exist in a future version of liveSite that has not been released yet.  Information about each patch appears below it so you can decide if it is worth installing the patch. 

NOTE: Newer versions of liveSite already contain the patches from all previous versions so you don't have to apply any patches for previous versions.

Instructions for Installing a Patch

1. Find your current version by looking in the bottom-right corner of the liveSite Control Panel.
2. Download the appropriate zip file for your version from the list below to your local computer.  (The first download listed is for PHP 5.0 - 5.2.  If available, the second download listed is for PHP 5.3+. If you are not sure which PHP version your web server is running, ask your hosting provider.)
3. Extract the zip file on your local computer.
4. Take note of extracted files and BACKUP the corresponding files within your liveSite software directory on your web server, because you will replace them soon.
5. FTP the extracted files, via binary transfer mode, to your liveSite software directory on your web server (overwriting existing files you have already backed up).  Auto or ASCII modes transfer modes might not work.
6. Test your liveSite features to be sure they are now fixed.

Patches

livesite-7.3.0-patch.zip or livesite-7.3.0-php-5.3-patch.zip

• Fixed bug where a Visitor, without control panel access, could not browse through photo gallery folders, and photos would appear plainly on another page, when clicked on, instead of in a modal layer like they should.
• Fixed bug where a Visitor would be forwarded to the home Page, without a quiz score, instead of back to the custom form Page, with a quiz score, when a Visitor failed a quiz.

livesite-7.2.0-patch.zip

• Updated system in order to prevent the license key in the config.php file from being to set to blank if the license update check did not return a license key or returned a blank license key for some reason (e.g. communication issue).
• Updated system so that when a system Page Style is created or edited no styling will be outputted for a cell if there are no other cells in the row, which removes:
  style="float: none; width: 99.4%; padding: 0.1em;"
• Update your default.css theme to include this Advanced Styling:
  #site_header .r1c1 {padding: 0.1em;}
• Fixed bug where an error would appear and the empty cell width would not be set correctly for two column sidebar left and three column sidebar left layouts in the page header area when creating or editing a system Page Style.

livesite-7.1.2-patch.zip

• Updated system so that the "powered by..." content in meta descriptions and RSS descriptions will only appear within the free version of liveSite. This removes our link from facebook posts.
• Fixed bug where updates in the rich-text editor would not be saved in IE 9 if a link existed in the content. Removed shape as an allowed attribute for anchor tags in order to resolve this issue. This bug prevented content from being saved when using Internet Explorer 9.

livesite-7.1.1-patch.zip

• Added workaround for issue where some hosting providers set restrictive MySQL settings which resulted in the following error on Form List View Pages: The SELECT would examine more than MAX_JOIN_SIZE rows; check your WHERE and use SET SQL_BIG_SELECTS=1 or SET SQL_MAX_JOIN_SIZE=# if the SELECT is okay.
