Pivot 1.40.7 released..

00:14

We've just released Pivot 1.40.7, 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 instructions on how to install or upgrade, please see the details after the jump.

This version comes in three flavors:

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 1.40.6, 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.

That link ‘Pivot 1.40.7 updater for 1.40 RC’ leads to a sourceforge file not found error. There is nothing to download behind that link.

I have tested all 3 links and they work fine. Maybe it was a temporary glitch at SF.

I was Looking through the File and there was Emoticons?
Whats the Reason for that?

Can you make an update to the wysiwyg editor to include the “Paste from Word” option? I am using many documents from Word and anytime I want to paste them into Pivot… I have to paste them first in a notepad, then copy them from there to pivot.

Thanks. That would be nice! PivotX has this and is so good!!!!

I need help, i download it and i canīt find any .exe files, so i can’t run Pivot. Also, it says that the file its corrupted and cannot be extracted. HELP Please

If you downloadad Pivot throuh our site you have downloaded weblog software. It does not contain any .exe files. I believe you were probably looking for a stick animation program of the same name; You will not find that program at pivotlog.net and will have to look elsewhere. Good luck & Happy Holidays!
