Hi,

I just took over a live Drupal installation for a Major school alumni association in New York City. It's someone else's install and there is a lot wrong. I felt that my first task other than major issues is to make sure the instance is up to date. The Drupal module admin says there is a security update but it wants me to update from 7.7 to 7.12. That makes it official. I'm confused. That sounds like a down grade not an upgrade.

One of their major problems was that no one could sign up for membership. This wasn't good. I traced it through an ms_core and/or token module. I couldn't update the ms_core because I'm waiting to get the logins and passwords from the company that installed the 3rd party module for them but in the meantime I manually updated the token module from 7.x-1.0-beta4 to 7.x-1.0-rc. This fixed the problem. At least it seems to have fixed it. The caveat to it is that all I did to update the module is to extract the new 7.x-1.0-rc release from Drupal into the sites/all/modules/token directory. Now the admin/reports/updates/update URL still shows 7.x-1.0-beta4. That scares me but at least people are able to sign up.

I'm a long time Drupal user but very far from a power user. I'm also an alumni of this school thus am doing this out of love for the school rather than the money. I now have a need to become a power user and am studying and reading everything I can find on Drupal. Some help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Steve

Going from 7.7 to 7.12 is an update, because 12 is greater than 7. ;-)

Other than that I don't know how to help, I'm not well versed in D7, but did you run update.php?

It's official, I'm brain dead. I can't count. Of course 7.7 is greater than 7.12. I feel like an idiot :). But I still need to find out why fixing token worked and why it isn't showing the upgrade in the dashboard.

Steve any luck? I got some issue myself on D7.12 myself. tokens problem detect and having an issue when anonymous post something on forum.

Here's my error if you come across and found a solution:
Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$name in ckeditor_profile_settings_compile() (line 924 of /var/www/drupal/sites/all/modules/ckeditor/includes/ckeditor.lib.inc).
Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$name in ckeditor_profile_settings_compile() (line 927 of /var/www/drupal/sites/all/modules/ckeditor/includes/ckeditor.lib.inc).

I notice there are some tekki wrote about patch, but I'm a newbie and have no ideas on how to apply patch. Anyone can help me is great appreciate.
