Problems udpdating from 3.5 to 3.7

Hi, Folks,

We've been using version 3.5, so I wanted to update to 3.7.

First I updated Moodle to the last patch 3.5.6+ (Build: 20190614) and did the same with the modules questionnaire and swf as suggested.

Then, using git, I switched to version 3.7 using the commands bellow:

$ git branch --track MOODLE_37_STABLE origin/MOODLE_37_STABLE

$ git checkout MOODLE_37_STABLE

When I tried to run Moodle, I've got 500 error message. I put in debug mode then I've got the messages bellow:

This page should be using theme clean which cannot be initialised. Nor can the site theme clean. Falling back to boost

line 711 of /lib/outputlib.php: call to debugging()

line 1553 of /lib/pagelib.php: call to theme_config::load()

line 864 of /lib/pagelib.php: call to moodle_page->magic_get_theme()

line 338 of /admin/index.php: call to moodle_page->get_renderer()

Warning: require_once(/var/www/html/moodle/lib/eventslib.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/moodle/mod/swf/lib.php on line 28

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/var/www/html/moodle/lib/eventslib.php' (include_path='/var/www/html/moodle/lib/pear:.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/moodle/mod/swf/lib.php on line 28

I copied clean theme and questionnaire and swf modules from 3.5 version, but it didn't work.

Any ideas about what is happening?

Thank you very much.

Luiz

Hi, Everybody,

I noticed clean theme was removed from recent versions. I've set up another theme by writing the command bellow in config.php:

$CFG->theme="classic";

It seems to me I still have some problems related to swf plugin. What am I supposed to do with this deprecated module considering I have activities created in some courses? Any recommendation?

Thanks,
Luiz

As stated in the last post, Moodle 3.7 no longer uses the theme clean. There were many quite significant changes made in Moodle 3.7. It is always worth taking a look at the release notes prior to making such a large update as 3.5 to 3.7.
