Hey @MateThemes

It’s getting there… any day now.

Here’s the quickstart/draft guide that should be the basis of the beta version. Upgrading from v3…

Update composer.json

"require": {
    "php": "^8.2",
    "october/rain": "4.x-dev",
    "october/all": "4.0.x-dev",
    "laravel/framework": "^12.0"
},

Update these files

curl -o ./config/app.php https://raw.githubusercontent.com/octobercms/october/refs/heads/4.x/config/app.php
curl -o ./bootstrap/app.php https://raw.githubusercontent.com/octobercms/october/refs/heads/4.x/bootstrap/app.php
curl -o ./bootstrap/providers.php https://raw.githubusercontent.com/octobercms/october/refs/heads/4.x/bootstrap/providers.php

Hi

in composer I also replace

"minimum-stability": "dev",

Should I run some migrations?

php artisan october:migrate

Give errors.

In routes.php line 3:
                                                                
  The use statement with non-compound name 'App' has no effect

Also there is error in admin dashboard

SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'is_custom' in 'field list' (Connection: mysql, SQL: select `is_custom`, `owner_field` from `backend_dashboards` where `owner_type` = Backend\Controllers\Index order by `backend_dashboards`.`sort_order` asc)

Hi @bob-tm,

You can remove the use App; statement from your routes.php file.

After that, run php artisan october:migrate and the error should be resolved:

SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054
Unknown column 'is_custom' in 'field list' (Connection: MySQL, SQL: SELECT is_custom, owner_field FROM backend_dashboards WHERE owner_type = Backend\Controllers\Index ORDER BY backend_dashboards.sort_order ASC)

Thanks, works!

I have custom twig filter ‘inline’ that simply read file content and return is as text.

in v4 all text after custom filter is escaped. So I need to use two filters | inline | raw.

it’s possible to “apply” raw filter in plugin and do not change templates?

looks perfect the new version.

Congratulations.

Hi,

When running the upgrade guide everything went normal , but when accessing the backedn I get the following error:

October\Rain\Assetic\Combiner::getFilters(): Argument #2 ($isProduction) must be of type bool, null given, called in /var/www/newsite-dev/vendor/october/rain/src/Assetic/Combiner.php on line 66

On the frontend I get

Thanks for your help
