Hello, I had used JA University 1.0.4 to create a website for a school and then I tried to upgrade to JA University T3 1.0.0

Since then I have too many issues:

1. Users trying to login from the frontend login module get an ‘invalid token‘ page
2. I completely removed all cached files, I removed the old template and the old T3 framework plugin and proceeded with a clean installation from the current files. Everything seems OK in the backend and template and plugin show like the most current version. Nevertheless, when I try to go to the frontend, I get a page with just html content without any styling/css.
3. In the head of the produced page I see that Javascript and CSS are combined into a single file although the settings in the backend are set to development mode (JS and CSS minification are OFF)

Right now, I have taken the site offline since it’s still without CSS. Thankfully, I had taken a backup of it so if no solution is found within the next hours I will rollback to its previous state (JA University 1.0.6) which also produces an invalid token error but at least it has CSS.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would restore the backup, and take a new backup using akeeba. You’re fighting a loosing battle to clean up what you have,

For testing purposes, upgrades, editing the site etc you should ALWAYS use a dev environment i.e. dev.mysite.com. Never test or upgrade blind on a live site.

Your problems will come from trying to run both T3 frameworks together. It won’t work. The solution is to build out the new site from scratch, get the look how you want and then use sql to import the data from the live site. You can then test it, do any css changes etc and finally when you are happy use akeeba to transfer it to the live domain.

Not what you want to hear I’m sure but it will be quickest in the long run.

Wish you luck.

Thanks for the reply!

Like I said, I have removed the older T3 framework plugin. I only have the new one installed.

Sorry, I don’t think that would help. Much the same way that upgrading from J2.5 to 3.3 isn’t an upgrade it’s actually a migration. Not sure if you’ve done that at the same time…. but it’s a migration from T3V2 to T3V3.

The two frameworks will do different things with the database and personally I think that is what has been corrupted. I would even go so far to make a new database for the restore and ensure that the dev site also has it’s own new one.

Tough I know. Sorry I can’t be of more assistance.
