Complete MT upgrade as guided with fresh installation. (This post may not apply to the case copying files over old installation) Upon upgrade completion, nothing on action stream (AS) will be available on profile menu as shown below. That is, next step will be to install fresh actions stream plugin under MT 4.2. For your reference not to go astray while AS migration, DO NOT DELETE TemplateRefresh and WidgetManager as instructed in step 2 of Movable Type 4.2 Upgrade Guide.
2. Action Stream Installation
Install AS plugin as you did before. Log onto MT again and check your profile data revived.
If you click [Action Stream] menu, you will get an error message as below. The goal is to clear out this problem.
3. Action Stream Upgrade
Move to plugin menu! [WidgetManager] plugin stays disabled. Enable it! You may recognize that you saved this plugin in step 1 of this guide.
You will be kicked out, then ready to upgrade AS table. Begin and confirm!
4. Refreshing Action Stream Events
There is no error on clicking [Action Stream] menu. You can browse old events triggered before without detailed descriptions.
You can run "perl tools/run-periodic-tasks" on MT installation directory to force refresh. Or just leave them for cron scheduler to refresh in the future. Now, all done! Enjoy MT 4.2 with AS!
