I am currently running my site on YAF 2.31.15. For some reason my version check is still showing as 2.31.14 but I'll let that pass. My question is, is it safe to go directly to version 3.2.2 or should I do all the other upgrades first?

Version 3.2.3 is out. There was an issue with the upgrade process. Now you can directly upgrade from your version. But i still would recommend to backup the database before the upgrade.

I did download the newer version, but it gives me the download for the stand-alone version. I'm using the YAF Sample Application version which, I understand, has to be installed differently. Where can I download this?

Or you can message me privately, if you like.

Okay, first issue: When I try the forum I get:

Could not load file or assembly 'YAF.Types, Version=2.3.1.14, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8b49dc47f4701f66' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

Also, I use the membership function to support my site and this issue comes up:

'GetUser' is not a member of 'Membership'.

Source Error:

Line 49: Dim userName As String = ""

Line 50: Dim MemUser As MembershipUser

Line 51: MemUser = Membership.GetUser()

Line 52: If MemUser Is Nothing Then

Line 53: Session("userName") = ""

Did you delete all old dlls in the bin folder before the upgrade? If not make sure there are no old dlls

'GetUser' is not a member of 'Membership'.

Source Error:

Line 49: Dim userName As String = ""

Line 50: Dim MemUser As MembershipUser

Line 51: MemUser = Membership.GetUser()

Line 52: If MemUser Is Nothing Then

Line 53: Session("userName") = ""

If i understand correctly you want to get the current user user name. You can do this with ...

Dim userName = HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name

Will try this when I get home this evening. PS. I need to get the user number as well.

If you deleted all dlls then its possible that you have an import namespace with a reference to the YAF.Types assembly? the current YAF.Sample 3.2.3 does not contain any references to an older YAF.Types.dll.

PS. I need to get the user number as well.

I assume you mean ID . If you want to get the Membership(Identity) ID its

BoardContext.Current.MembershipUser.Id

or the current yaf user id

BoardContext.Current.PageUserID

Now I get: 'BoardContext' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.

Just for giggles, I tried uploading the 3.2.2 Sample Site to a fresh domain, linked it to my database and got this error:

'yaf_Message' is not a constraint.

Could not drop constraint. See previous errors.

you need to add the using statement for YAF.Core.Context or use....

YAF.Core.Context.BoardContext.Current.PageUserID
