Thanks, where is the upgrade script?

Is there a script to upgrade the DB?

the upgrade script goes with each vBulletin release, you can find it in the package downloaded from vbulletin.com

You can read that script, step by step and find out what the script does.

basically yes.

You will have to change the files yourself, to fit the database (if there's any database structure changed)

but, remember to BE CAREFUL when you use it. Recommend to test in testing forums first, if you're not sure.

TECK

Do you or have you ever used this function on the Araxis Merge program:

http://www.araxis.com/merge/topic_automaticmerging.And if so did it work OK?

I personally have never used it and i would reccomend merging yourself as it may merge things you don't want merging :p

I use araxis and have done for years. Although i use three panes to compare.

latest clean version on left. Previous clean version in middle. My hacked previous version on right.

This allows you to see what code is new between the previous and new version without wondering what was hacked and what wasnt.

nice tut.

Oh my, I need to upgrade from 2.2.6 to 2.3.0 and I am terrified, I have done this before with Araxis, to upgrade from 2.2.0 to 2.2.6 but for some reason I am so scared of doing it now, did much change from 2.2.6 to 2.3.0? I need to do this, please tell it it will be alright ROFL!!

I'm sure it will be alright Massiel if you take your time :)

This works also if u wanna upgrade and you want the skins to be tha same right?

Now that the Hack Tracking Log is released, we may want to add that to the options. :)


Step 1) Click List All Modifications;
Step 2) overwrite all vB files;
Step 3) re-apply all code changes from the list that was just made for you in step 1.

done :)
