boldly go where no boonexian has gone before...

I've been working with 7.1 for a few months now, and decided to finally convert over. 

 

Two nights ago, my production site was at 7.0.6 & loaded with customizations. I decided to clone it to a new VPS, back up all database tables & uninstall all third party modules. Following the upgrade path I made my way to 7.0.7, then 7.0.8 and finally 7.0.9. So far, so good. They really made that part of the process pretty painless (I suppose removing all third party modules helped here). 

 

7.1.0 B1 upgrade also went smooth, and B2 was no different. With my production data (clone) now at the latest version, I pulled the third party modules that were also at that level. Installed the modules & re-imported the database tables back to regain content. 

 

About 30 minutes ago, I decided it was good enough to switch over. If I had waited any longer, I'd risk a lot of the production database being out of sync due to new content/members. Some damage control was done here by removing upload privileges to all members temporarily.

 

You can get a look at my production 7.1B2 site here. I have many loose ends to tie up, and some modules are still pending 7.1 compatibility before I can install them.

One thing that has been bugging me... where the !#%@#% are the new e-mail templates stored?

 

My old templates got migrated over, and when I pull the code into an HTML editor they look just like they used to. But now, when a notification gets sent out, it's in the new 7.1 format?

/templates/base

_email_footer.html
_email_header.html

To elaborate a bit more.

Email templates are still done the same way.  In admin->Settings->Email templates.

What is different is each template now includes a header and a footer.

At the top
<bx_include_auto:_email_header.html />

At the bottom
<bx_include_auto:_email_footer.html />

And prolaznik mentioned where those are.

Thanks guys. 

My old templates have html inline with the language key, what has me perplexed is that the text delivered in the e-mail appears to be standard for 7.1 and does not match my previous templates at all. 

Edit - Scratch that. I've been looking at templates that must be obsolete now. methinks it's time for bed!
