Upgrading VM 2.6.10 to 2.9.9e gives errors

[fmlk4u]

After installation I get errors:



        vmError: alterTable CHANGE kbc_virtuemart_product_customfields.customfield_value :
        vmError: alterTable CHANGE kbc_virtuemart_product_customfields.customfield_params : Row size too large. The maximum row size for the used table type, not counting BLOBs, is 65535.

Taking config from file

Nevertheless the conclusion text reads install is successful.

In the frontend I see layout problems: compare e.g. the layout of the products list http://keyboard-centrum.nl/nl/winkel/keyboards with http://staging1.keyboard-centrum.nl/nl/winkel/keyboards

and e.g product page: http://keyboard-centrum.nl/nl/winkel/keyboards/gw-8e-gw-8l2013-04-07-20-34-59-detail with http://staging1.keyboard-centrum.nl/nl/winkel/keyboards/gw-8e-gw-8l2013-04-07-20-34-59-detail: title and price below image as if with hard return. Strange tooltip icon in the bottom and youtbe embed plugin not compatible with this VM while the extension is sold via the VM website!

Who can help me further.

Thanks for help, Fred

2.9.9e is a late beta (near RC) development/testing version for VM3 and has significant changes in templating from 2.6.x as it makes use of sublayouts meaning that any existing template overrides may need editing. Most plugins have not yet been updated to work with the new version.

Please feel free to test it and report any findings on the Development and Testing board - http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?board=136.0
