I attempted to update Mahara however the AJAX on the admin/upgrade.php page didn't work. I tried bump a version down but I still had the same issue, changed browser still no AJAX. If this were a bug obviously you would have been able to fix it already as it would effect the Developers update. Can someone assist me?

var e=self.coerceToDOM(self.getElement(elem));
e.parentNode.removeChild(e); <-- That line.
return e;

Release 1.1.6 (2009022617), © 2006 onwards

I got no response on IRC, and have looked around but I can't seem to find a similar complaint. So far I have downgraded the page to the original version. Help would be much appreciated.

Hi - what version are you trying to upgrade from?

If you're trying to upgrade to 1.1.6, then I'm a bit confused as that should work for everyone. Certainly nobody has reported problems until now 

And if you tried different browsers, then I would have expected you would have downloaded the latest javascript files in at least one of them.

What would be really handy is if you could provide a backtrace for that javascript error. The error itself is occuring in the middle of a javascript library we use, and as such, isn't that helpful.

Alternatively, if you could put the new code in place and then post on the forums when it's there, I could have a look at the page for myself. Or you could ping me on IRC, given I'm now available (wasn't around at 8pm on a Friday when you first turned up ).

Hi - I've had a look at it now. It looks to me like maybe you're missing one of the new template files? Could you try re-uploading all of the new version of Mahara there?

The specific error, I think, is being caused because the javascript tries to remove the "you need javascript to run the installer" message - but that particular element isn't in the page - possibly because you still have an old template there.

If you try that and it still doesn't work, then please go into your dataroot directory, and remove all files and directories in the smarty/compile/ directory. They're safe to remove, and maybe it's because they're stale that the page is broken.
