I'm actually trying to plan my upgrade this time and make sure I'm all ready before hand but I have some questions.

I had a custom theme created for my site, will it still work with 2.4?

I've had an ongoing issue with tables in my articles. Where there is a table, there ends up being a HUGE gap between the table and the text above. Any chance this will be resolved?

FCKEditor upgrade-is this editor required or can I get by without it?

Some of my join dates are wrong. This goes back to when I transferred my users from Nuke to XOOPS. I know very little about databases and I clearly did something wrong so the accounts that were moved over all say Joined 12/31/1969. I can't figure out how to fix them. I even attempted to edit a couple of them directly in the database but it didn't work.


I went through all of my modules and attempted to confirm if they are compatible but for the most part the author site doesn't exist or its in a foreign language. Maybe someone can tell me if they know if any of these are compatible with 2.4


Private Messaging- is this part of the XOOPS forum software or is it a separate module? Author Jan pederson no URL

Contact Addresses - v 1.7 is available, compatible?

Paypal Donations 1.4 - is this part of XOOPS core or maintained modules?

Web links 1.1 - no author or site listed

Polls - Kazuni Ono site in Japanese. wellwine site is gone

RHA7 Downloads 1.1 - no author no url

Cafepress Shop 1.01- no url

Shortcuts 1.1- Herve Thouzard site is in french

News and Articles 1.62 - is this part of XOOPS core?

Formulaire 3.33- Philou author but no url

Avaman .21 - GIJ=checkmate peak site is in japanese

sitemap 1.3- Chanior no url

SPotlight 1.4- Spark and Solo no url

User profile 1.5 - Jan pederson no url Not sure I even need this.

Protector 3.2 - GIJ=Checkmate Do I need this?

ThAdmin 1 - Andrica Nicolas no url Do I need this if I only have one theme and don't want people to change?

Difficult issue, you should :
• take a look to FCKeditor forums, there is a lot of threads about it
• or, it is how I resolve it, commpress your html source (example with Pspad editor) before validate your FCKeditor form

To make image uploader works properly with XOOPS 2.4.4 you have to edit one file (see here)

Date format is coded... a skilled user could explain how and create an sql request

You should uninstall it before upgrading your site : ThAdmin features are included in XOOPS Core since XOOPS 2.3.x

Thanks for the detailed reply. I have been away... surgery and vacation. I'm going to try the upgrade this weekend I suppose.
