newsbb 2.02 upgrade problem

This problem does not affect me because my site is new and I don't have anything in the forum but this may affect someone else.

I upgraded from the standard from xoopx 2.0.9.2 to the newsbb 2.02. The upgrade said it was done properly but when I tried to access the forums all my topics were missing. I then went and uninstalled it and it gave me errors and left some of the tables in the db. When I remove the tables and reinstall everything work great but the upgrading didn't work.

If anyone has a solution to this others may be interested in it.

So you ran the upgrade script and it did not complete?

I just did this for a tutorial on my site 2 days ago without any problems.

Glad to hear it worked out.

I ran the upgrade from the admin menu like the doc I was reading said. The upgrade did not give any errors but the topics were all gone. Also, on one of the installations I have it said that I couldn't add topics for some reason. I cannot remember the exact reason, I thought I did something wrong. When I tried it on another installation, yes I am setting up 3 sites at the same time, I did not even try to add topics.

To do a proper upgrade before you do the update in the modules admin, you should run the newbb1_to_newbb2.php script with you browser.

After the script runs and adds creates and deletes tables in your database then you upgrade the module in Modules Admin.

I must have missed that in the document I was reading..it can be found here.

This information may need to be changed.

That is from version 2.01 to 2.01. Version 1 of newbb needs to have a script run.

Further down the page:
Quote:
Update Scripts Along with the Package:
-- Newbb 1 to Newbb 2.0.1 ( newbb1_to_newbb2.php )
-- Newbb 2.0 RC1 to Newbb 2.0.1 ( newbb2rc1_to_newbb2.php )
-- Newbb 2.0 RC2 to Newbb 2.0.1 ( newbb2rc2_to_newbb2.php )
-- Newbb 2.0 RC3 to Newbb 2.0.1 ( newbb2rc3_to_newbb2.php )
-- Newbb Pro 1.03 to Newbb 2.0.1 ( newbbpro_to_newbb2.php )


These are the versions that scripts need to be run. The reason for the script is that database structure has changed and needs to be redone by the script.

Hope that made sense. LOL

This makes perfect since.. I figured that the upgrade process from the admin menu would perform all that needed to be done.

I hope that anyone that needs to upgrade finds this helpful before they do the upgrade.
