Dear Master,

Please tell me how to manually patch from 1.2.13 to 1.2.14, thanks!

You should use a diff tool. Also notepad++ has a compare feature built in.

IF you only want to fix the security hole then I believe all you have to do is upload the new search.php file. It is recommended though that you run the full normal update procedure.

Dear Sir,

Thanks your comments.

I like have a file as below:

There is no "official" patch for this release, so you won't have a changed files only package. The official response will be to replace all of your files except for config.php and settings.php with the new MyBB 1.2.14 files and then run the database upgrader.

The only file changed for security, however, was search.php so if all you want to do is fix the security hole you only need to replace search.php with the new one from MyBB 1.2.14. Otherwise, if you want all the bugfixes as well you need to reupload the new files and run the upgrader.

Use a program such as WinMerge to find the differences between the files. You can then manually apply them to your forum. It won't be any different than us releasing a list.

Dear DennisTT,

You are a support team lead.
Have you not a manually patch file? How can you upgrade Mybb from 1.2.13 to 1.2.14?


Regards!

There isn't a manual patch. You can use a diff tool, like Dennis said, and look by yourself for the changes.

Dear DennisTT and destroyer,

Even you are a support lead, but your comments is not a good idea.
Because
1.
Mybb1.2.13 after install has attachment.php, but Mybb_1214_changed_files.zip has not this file.

2.
Mybb1.2.13 after install has usercp2.php, but Mybb_1214_changed_files.zip has not this file.

3.
Mybb1.2.13 after install has 34 files and 8 folder, but Mybb_1214_changed_files.zip only has 4 files and 5 folder.

In this case, how to run Winmerge?
And suggest you open a Mnauall patch file!


Regards!

What have you done to MyBB that you need to do a heavy patch to upgrade? You should just be able to reupload all files except config.php and settings.php and then go to yoursite.com/forum/install/upgrade.php and run the upgrader.

Also, the changed_files package only includes updated files, not all files. If you wanted to run Winmerge on the files, you would only need to run it on the files listed in the changed_files package and not on all MyBB files.
