Moving to Xibo 1.8.2 From Xibo 1.7.9

Hello,

We have a layout on xibo CMS 1.7.9 that contains a dataset. I have exported it and now i am going to import this layout on the xibo 1.8.2. Layout is not getting imported on Xibo 1.8.2 and showing me unexpected error.

Kindly suggest…

Datasets cannot be exported from the 1.7 CMS.

Only exports from a 1.8 CMS will contain the dataset.

You should still be able to import a 1.7 layout in to a 1.8, but you won’t be able to tick the box to import datasets too.

In Xibo 1.7.9, We receive a entry in stats table with type “displaydown” every time display goes down.
However this is not happening on Xibo 1.8.2 instance. Kindly confirmed if this functionality removed from 1.8.2 instance or i am doing something wrong here.

It’s not removed, please see cms maintenance and email alerts section of this topic Xibo CMS Post-Installation Setup Guide

If you’re not using docker then at a guess that issue will have something to do with XTR - http://xibo.org.uk/manual/en/install_xtr.html

However if you’re using docker then that should be already configured for you, in which case please double check the section mentioned earlier.
