Quick question...
I currently host a 3.x.x Vbulletin forum and I'm looking to upgrade to 3.5 sometime in the next weeks.
What I want to do is install a fresh copy of 3.5 (on a test location) and customize it to my liking (about 15-20 hacks at least)... When it's ready I would like to transfer the members, posts, threads and attachments from the old 3.x.x site... Would this create a lot of problems? Given it's done based on the instructions? If so is there an easier way to achieve what I want (having a fresh 3.5 with the old info, and a few new hacks)...? Thanks for your time. |
Use ImpEx to create a clean copy of your 3.0 first. Then use the new copy to upgrade to 3.5.
Don't go try selectively copy things from 1 database to another. |
I would suggest not to use ImpEx, as this could break existing links (because of changing IDs)
|
Yes it does break links that are linking to other topics on the board. But unless you know what you are doing, it still is the best option.
|
Right. It's the easiest way for sure.
