Hello all

I am in need of a forum upgrade , I am using 2.2.8 at the moment and would like to get upto date if possible. I have upgraded loads of times before so thats all fine but I have a lot of hacks on my forum and don't know if I upgrade it will mess everything up.

This is the updates I have made on my forum:

PHP Pages that have been changed with Vbulliten 2.8 (in date order):

showthread.php - {pm blink} {thread preview} {force profile update}

newthread.php - {thread preview} {where to go after post} {vb index} {stars}

search.php - {thread preview} {force profile update} {stop posts apparing in view new

thread} {stop posts appearing in view latest thread}

index.php - {pm blink} {welcome panel} {force profile update} {phpmychat hack} {stop

counting posts} {stop posts appearing in posts since last visit}.

admin/sessions.php - {admin cp warning}

member.php - {where to go after post} {community bulliten} {vb index} {pm sound} {invite

to chat} {view hidden profiles}

newreply.php - {where to go after post} {vb index} {stars}

poll.php - {where to go after post}

global.php - {microstats} {pm sound} {invite to chat}

admin/functions.php - {microstats} {stars} {invite to chat}

admin/index.php - {microstats} {community bulliten} {stars}

admin/template.php {multi template edit} {vb index}

forumdisplay.php - {headers hack} {force profile update}

forum.php - {headers hack}

register.php - {stars}

admin/misc.php - {stars}

admin/usergroup.php {stars}

memberlist.php - {force profile update} {search profile of users}

private.php - {pm sound}

private2.php - {pm sound}

online.php - {invite to chat}

Anyone suggest how or what I should do? I can make a duplicate forum and database to test if thats any use?

Thank you

Stuart

If you upgarde you will lose all hacks.
Unless you use some sort of comparison tool (See tips and hints forum)
And then some pages might not work because of changes in the scource code

You can use a program called Araxis Merge.

Also, you can install a local board and update the files there.

At least you've kept a lof of what hacks you have installed - that's very organised

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
