I currently have the task of updating a Sitecore Instance 6.6 with SIP 3.2. The target is reaching Sitecore 7.0, so we can use Item Buckets.
The problem is when I update Sitecore to 7.0, it doesn't work with SIP 3.2, because assembly references doesn't match anymore and Sitecore 7.0 runs on .NET 4.5, where SIP 3.2 runs on .NET 3.5. So the Sitecore Backend does not work anymore and I cannot update the SIP.
If I update the SIP to 4.0 (which works with Sitecore 7.0) before updating the Sitecore Instance to 7.0, I get a similar problem.
Any idea what I can do to update both together? Or is there another way of achiving Sitecore 7.0 with SIP 4.0?
I would recommend uninstalling SIP first. You can achieve this is via removing the code files and configs from the solution manually - you can try leaving the Sitecore Items there as they shouldn't cause issues.
It will be helpful to redownloading the SIP package, unzip to see the files and view which files and configs it contains, then remove those from your solution.
A simpler way if you have Sitecore Rocks is to create an Anti-package - https://www.sitecore.net/nl-be/learn/blogs/technical-blogs/trevor-campbell/posts/2013/02/28-days-of-sitecore-rocks-package-management-part-1.aspx
Once you have removed SIP, complete your upgrade of Sitecore and confirm your site serves correctly afterwards.
Then its a matter of installing the correct version of SIP for the version of Sitecore 7 you have upgraded to. This will mitigate the issue of assemblies being different versions.
I would recommend backing up your databases before the upgrade as best practice but to also retrieve any SIP Item you may later need.

I am in the process of researching a upgrade between a Sitecore 7.1 website to Sitecore 8.2. The site has the Social Connect Module installed.
I notice in Sitecore 8's Content Explorer, there is a pre-installed Social network structure. That looks very similar to the structure used in Sitecore 7.1's Social Connect Module.
My question is
Is this the same Sitecore 7 Social Connect Module just included in
Sitecore 8 installs?
If so, are there any notable changes I should consider between the
c# api?
I'm hoping that pre-existing user controls will just work. That would be awesome.
If you have any links to documents would be nice. Can't seems to find the right search term combo.
Thanks
Yes, that is the same module included into Sitecore Exprience Platform starting from 8.0 initial release (see the "Social Connected" section). Unfortunately there is no breaking changes report published, probably because the entire module became a new Platform component.
I have this type of architecture- Tablet application,Desktop Application,web application.. In tablet application its sync framework 2.1.Desktop 2.0 web 2.0 When syncing from Tab to Desktop i am upgrading metadata to 2.1, sync works fine between tab and desktop...Now when trying to sync between Desktop and Web it throws error as metadata of desktop app is upgraded. I cant upgrade web metadata as many desktop users are using 2.0 framework in their desktop. can anyone suggest me wat to do in this scenario.
unfortunately, you can't mix and match the metadata version. its either you upgrade everyone or you don't. (i think that's actually explicitly mentioned in the metadata upgrade docs.)
Hi I am getting this error when I am trying to install Social Connected 2.1 in sitecore 7.2
Could not find configuration node:
contentSearch/configuration/defaultIndexConfiguration/analyzer
Could not find solution.
Can anyone help me out with this.
Thanks in advance!
Sitecore does have a workaround in place for the known issues:
Using Social Connected 2.1 with Sitecore CMS 7.2 Reference number:
408378
Social Connected 2.1 isn’t compatible with Sitecore CMS 7.2.
Workaround:
Install Social Connected module on Sitecore 7.2 rev. 140228.
Install Social Connected 2.1 rev. 140113 using the Installation Wizard. During
installation, you'll get the following error message: "Could not find
configuration node: content Search/configuration/defaultIndex
Configuration/analyzer". Close the message. Make required changes* to
configuration files. Open the Installation Wizard and install the
module package again. Use the Skip option for items and files
conflicts. Fix Social Connected module that is already installed on
Sitecore 7.2 rev. 140228 Make required changes* to configuration
files.
* Required changes to the Sitecore.Social.config file:
Change the analyzer tag from
<analyzer ref="contentSearch/configuration/defaultIndexConfiguration/analyzer" />
to the following...
<analyzer ref="contentSearch/indexConfigurations/defaultLuceneIndexConfiguration/analyzer" />
Add the "true" tag to the
"socialSearch/configuration" section.
* You can find the official Sitecore workaround / KB article here *
So you can use Social Connected 2.1 with this fix.
I don't have any good news for you. Social Connected module doesn't have any version which is compatible with Sitecore 7.2 version.
Here is the full table of the modules compatibility: http://sdn.sitecore.net/products/sitecore%20v5/sitecore%20cms%206/installation/modules%20compatibility.aspx.
The answer I've got from Sitecore Support is
There is currently no supported by CMS 7.2 Social Connected. Reasons are - many breaking changes.
EDIT:
According to the latest news, there are now versions of Social Connected supporting Sitecore up to 7.5:

I want to update/upgrade my joomla version and virtue-mart component as well.now my joomla version is 1.5.26 and my virtue-mart component version 1.1.9 and i want to convert into joomla 2.5 and virtue-mart latest version 2.0.6.
But main problem is that i want to update/upgrade joomla and virtue-mart with data.(like users,product,category,orders etc..) i have wonder many site also virtue-mart official site. I have found many solution but when i fallow all the instructions and doing my local machine. then old data f virtue-mart will remove but i want to hold old data and update/upgrade on new version.
So please help me .
Upgrade your J1.5 site with Jupgrade, which creates a duplicate site in a new directory, then follow the process here to upgrade VirtuMart.
If you find that your VirtuMart Data still hasn't migrated, it's fairly easy to export those tables through PHPmyadmin and import them to the J2.5 database. Then you should be able to run the VirtuMart upgrade installation.
I want to update plugins on redmine but I keep receiving this error message after updating the file:
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to mainenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
I believe that there is a compatibility problem with the new plugins and the Redmine version I am using. The plugins are made compatible with Redmine 2.0, but I am using Redmine 1.4.1.stable.
Is there a way to use the new plugins without updating to Redmine 2.0?
I guess we cannot. It does not work after testing 10 different plugins.
