Pivot 1.40.6..
12:08We've just released Pivot 1.40.6, which contains some smaller changes and fixes, one of which is security-related. So, this is a recommended upgrade for all users of Pivot 1.40.x. For full details see the Changelog. For instructions on how to install or upgrade, please see the details after the jump.
Update: All the distrubutions have been repackaged. They should work for everybody now.
This version comes in three flavors:
- Pivot 1.40.6 Full - The full version
- Pivot 1.40.6 updater for 1.40 RC (Use this for upgrading Pivot 1.40RC, 1.40.0 through 1.40.6)
- Pivot 1.40.6 updater for other versions (For upgrading any other Pivot 1.x version)
So, if you want to set up a new install, use the Full version and read here on how to get started. If you're running a version between 1.0 and 1.40.5, you can get the appropriate updater.
- Extract the files on your computer.
- Make a backup of your website. (really)
- Upload all the files overwriting the ones already present.
- Download the upgradechecks tool, unzip it and upload to your pivot folder.
- Open pivot/upgradechecks.php in your browser and see if you have to make any changes.
- Log in to your Pivot, and do the following:
- Rebuild the index.
- Go to Administration » Weblogs, and click through your weblog so, the weblog configuration is updated.
- Make sure [[thickbox:head]] is in the <head>-section of your templates, if you want to use the thickbox popups.
- Rebuild all pages.
- Enjoy your brand-new Pivot!
Alternatively you can use our Pivot Setup script, which takes care of the installation/upgrading. Read about it here: Pivot Setup.
Tip: We've heard about people (mainly on OSX) who've had their FTP programs wipe the folders clean before uploading. Make sure that doesn't happen to you by reading this forum thread.

download dont work
Sorry, download works, Zip-File don’t work
The releases have been packaged incorrectly. Bob will be repackaging them and releasing them soon. I have looked at the ‘upgrade from 1.x’ .zip and the needed files are in the zip. Discard the folder named ‘__MACOSX’ and use the files in the ‘pivot_1406_updater_from_1.x’ folder. The full and other update file will also work by following pretty much the same instructions.
The repackaged versions have been uploaded to Sourceforge!
Dang it i hate it when it doesn’t work.
It will take a little while for the files to be updated on the Sourceforge mirrors.
Hi,
maybe you should update the Downloadlink within the right menue? It still links to the previous version.
Greetings and thanks for the hard and excellent work..

Thanks for that, Marcel. Link updated.
Installed at the moment and seems to be working fine.
Thanx a lot, Marcel. Great Job.
What if I want to download it and I don’t have a website? where would I open it?

Cody, you would need a website to use weblog software.
Gracias! Voy a implementar este sistema en mi web.
