CB 1.7 Released!

One short question: The Release-Article mentioned CB substitution improvements.
Whats new or what has changed?

Just upgraded one installation from CB1.4 to CB1.7. I noticed that my substitution in ProfileTitle did not work anymore. I used [cb_myfield]. After the upgrade it showed only the substitution syntax!? I tried it with [cb:userfield field="cb_myfield" /] That worked and also displayed a multi-checkbox field with a comma as separator.

Is this the way to use it now?

I'm having the exact same problem. Joomla 1.7 with cb 1.7, try to upload comprofiler and I get the error
Fatal error: Call to a member function getCfg() on a non-object in /home/theredne/public_html/administrator/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.foundation.php on line 3069

Is it safe to upgrade from 1.3.1 to 1.7 on Joomla 1.5.23 ?

Any precautions to be taken apart from backup of the database and files ?

I believe in 'If it ain't broken, don't fix it!'

Yes, its safe.
Backup first.

I had this message when upgrading Joomla 1.6.3 to 1.7; my CB version is 1.4 and I used the Extension manager>update process; the result was this message whatever I tried to do; basically nothing worked and I had to restore from backup. Does this mean that I must upgrade CB to 1.7 BEFORE upgrading Joomla?

Code:

DELETE FROM `jos_menu` WHERE `path` LIKE '%comprofiler%';

Please change the prefix (jos) in the above query if your database is using a different prefix. Once done please review the _menu table to ensure the CB menu links were deleted appropriately.

Hi, my issue is with a new installed joomla 1.7 and then I installed CB 1.7, the CB menu is not showing in the admin menu. Please help!
