Do You Have an Update Script for Browse Page Widths – Upgrade from v5.x to v6?

How Can We Help?

Answer

The one downside to this is that when upgrading a site from v5.x the browse pages would take on their windowwidth versus a blank width and as such they were expanding past the page defaults and in turn making the form render in a strange fashion.

The below script will update all browse pages and move the width property to the new attribute in the options column for both width and height.

Support for SQL version 2008+ (due to the use of sql:variable within the script).

Please run the below after your site has been upgraded though the site manager and as always ensure a database backup is available in the unlikely event of an error and a rollback is required.

The script is a cursor that is going to loop through all browse page controls and update as required, it is all SQL transaction based so in the event of an error it will rollback and display the relevant error message.

The end result is all browse pages with a blank value in windowwidth and a value in width will have this reversed, all browse pages without a windowwidth will have one added and width updated.

The same applies for the height attribute to windowheight.
