This file contains all the changes you must make to upgrade your forums to 2.2.2 from 2.2.1. I have used this on my forums and it has worked successfully. Unfortunately we will unable to provide support for this, if you are getting errors then you may have applied the change in the wrong place.
Make sure you backup your files and database before doing this.
Once you have changed all the files you must upload them plus the new vBulletin.style upgrade15.php and some other files which were changed too extensively to justify a list of all the changes.
Originally posted by SirSteve Another thing, are the changes made to forumdisplay.php the "optimized" changes as referring to
Correct. Infact nowaday downloading of the vbulletin2.zip has changed that file too, besides the .style of two days ago.
Well.
What should be the right upgrade sequence ??
- change the php files as written here (without uploading)
- backup templates
- upload and execute upgradeXX.php
- restore templates with changes
- upload all the modified php files

Is it all right ?
Thanx
As said in another hack/upgrade-oriented thread, this is the first time I upgrade an hacked version, so wouldn't make mistakes to make me close for a month!
Bye
I'd do the following
apply the file changes
backup database
close board
upload new files including upgradeXX.php and vBulletin.style
restore templates
open board

Thanks for the checklist.
About quoted action, more questions:
- Template Backup System ? And what about new created/modified templates by upgradeXX.php ?
- Should I compare all the new templates with the old ones ?

Let me check if understood.
You say if I edit each my 'default template' which was added by any hack (installer or not), to see near it the three links [edit] [revert to original] [view original] instead of the standard two, I'll be sure they'll be moved to 'custom template' section after the upgrade; or at least they will not reverted by the upgrade ....
Is it true ?
Thanks
Still I can't understand how modified (by hacks) templates could stay in 'default' with only [change original] voice.
On my board there are three states of 'default' templates:
1) Custom, identified by [edit] [remove] options
2) Original, identified by [change original] option
3) Original modified, identified by [edit] [revert to original] [view original] options
Well, if case 2, I don't worry if upgrade changes it, of course.
If cases 1 and 3, do you mean they are automatically skipped by the upgrade as they are 'custom' ?
If so, I'll have the upgrade modifications only in the 'original' version of those customized templates, is it true ? How could I compare - via TBS, for example - the original and modified versions to apply by hand the changes ?
