Wow... that easy huh!

Ok, I copied them over and updated the system in modules. My footer shows 'powered by XOOPS 2.0.5' - is this a minor detail? where can i confirm that the system has updated?

Many thanks

Dear Xoops,

I run XOOPS 2.0.5 on a third party private server. I installed Liase 2.1 and it wont function because I need to run 2.0.6 as a min. requirement. I want to upgrade my XOOPS from 2.0.5 to 2.0.6. I have backed up my database into an sql file and have also backed up the site content into a tar.gz file. I have spent 3 hours looking for support material detailing how to upgrade and haven't found something directly relevant. I wish to upgrade XOOPS using the 2.0.5 to 2.0.6 patch available on this site. Do I need to set all the permissons, blocks, content etc again?

In summary:
How do I apply the patch and reinstall the database and content?

Sorry for this novice question.

Thanks Sylvian. three more questions:

1. I use one theme as default (01). There are three other themes in the themes folder. Do I only change the theme.html (not other html files) in the default(01) theme folder?

2. Do i change the *.css files in the default(01) theme folder or or for all the other theme folders too?

3. Do I still need to add the code to the admin / preferences / meta tags & footer - footer block?

We I get it to work, I'll send you a checklist of require changes for XOOPS 2.0.5
Thanks
Ben

Sylvian,

The programme help files are a little different. the instructions you sent me are from the 2nd help file. The code and instructions are different from the 1st help file. Which one do I follow.

Also, in system admin, modules, the stats module is not clickable - it has no menu or preferences.

I changed and adapted the theme.html file and the .css files in each of the site's theme folders (even though i use only the default theme).

I added the html footer code through system admin, preferences, meta tag / footers.

I chagaed the groups settings so all users can access the stats.

It doesn't work (yet). Basically i'm confused which approach to take and how to activate the counting. Please advise me: Do I install as per readme.txt or do i use xoops_install.txt or perhaps manual.html?
help
Thanks
Ben

SylvianB - I run a site with XOOPS 2.0.5 - does this mean i can use your E XOOPS Stats module? I installed the weather module but i'm also looking for a weather module that just reports the weather around Taiwan (where i am based) any suggestions?

Thanks
Ben
Ps: my XOOPS system does not have a theme.php file so i couldn't even use the stats module as a counter
