Just make sure that all the modules that you have are tested and working on PHP 7.x

Do you want to "upload" a video, or just add a link to the video that is already somewhere, e.g. on YouTube?

If you want to upload a video, then just use any FTP program to upload your video to a folder of your choice (e.g. to /uploads)

Then publish a link to the video. As an example, the link normally could look like this:

http://mysite.com/uploads/videos/video1.mp4

Hi,
I have a really old xoops 2.3.3 install running under php 5.2.17, MySQL 5.1 on Apache 2.2 on Solaris 11 that I am now trying to move to Ubuntu 18-04 with php 7.2.24, MySQL 5.7.28
I dumped the db from the old and uploaded it into the newver mysql without problems, all data seems to be there, I also moved the old xoops install over and configured it under the local apache and php.
I then followed the upgrade instructions and used the XoopsCore25-2.5.10 package and prepared it in accordance with the instructions and started the upgrade by referencing the upgrade folder on my website. I got to log in as the admin of the site and the upgrade proceeded immediatly to the step 2.4.x to 2.5.0 and presented the message Applied patch upd-2.4.x-to-2.5.0 and a Continue button.

However, pressing that Continue button does nothing... just presents the saem page again.

if I clear the index.php from the path, it's presents the step before as the last done and wants to rerun the 2.4.x to 2.5.0 step, doing that sends us back to the state before...

Checking the error.log it shows the message...
Upgrade required on users table!, referer:
So apparently some step in the upgrade has required a db schema change.

Are those changes possible to get as sql command files from here, all I find is php scripts that does some sql calls that might be doing this, but a simple modify table script would be cool if you have for the changes?

Or maybe this is a known bug, I see more people had trouble with that step before.

/Dhurgan, long time user of a very old xoops :)

Thanks a lot Mamba for your quick reply, and also for your recommendation.
I have to discuss with my owner about updating to a newer version.

Please how do I upload a video

Bill,
for code, please use

[ code]
your code here
[/code]

instead of

```
your code here
```

There is a button for it: < />

If you do it manually, please remove the space after the [

Thanks for letting us know about your solution.

Recommendation: please update to XOOPS 2.5.10, as it fixes bugs, and provides important compatibility updates with PHP 7.0- PHP 7.3

Our next version, XOOPS 2.5.11, will provide compatibility with PHP 7.4.

All PHP 7.x version provide increased speed over PHP 5.x, so it is worth to upgrade.

Yesssssss, found !

Now code is :

Link to the file /class/smarty/xoops_plugins/function.xoInboxCount.php
https://github.com/XOOPS/XoopsCore25/blob/master/htdocs/class/smarty/xoops_plugins/function.xoInboxCount.php

With this subject, i discover the directory /class/smarty/xoops_plugins.
