Is there a way to upgrade from newbb (xoops 2.0.13 upgraded to 2.2) to cbb2.2 (beta1) without losing all the posts, forums and categories?

Assuming you are using newbb 2.x

I think (NOT TESTED - so maybe test it on a backup or local install first) you can just follow the instructions of the cbb 1.x version:

Precautions:
- backup your XOOPS database in case anything goes wrong
- backup your newbb directory (or just rename it)

Quote:

XOOPS Community bulletin Board
The further development of NewBB 2 developed by Marko Schmuck (predator) and D.J. (phppp)

CBB XOOPS Installation:
1 Make a full backup for your XOOPS
2 upload the files to xoops/modules/newbb
3 add dropdow menu color CSS to theme/style.css (Appendix)

4 update newbb from Administration Area
5 set module preferences and permission(!Important). Some suggestions:
-- Disable png hack and select gif for imageset if your server is not powerful enough
-- Make sure you have <{$xoops_module_header}> in theme.html header



Appendix
theme/style.css adding dropdown menu color as following:
/* color -- dropdown menu for Forum */
#dropdown a{
color:#FFFFFF;
}

#dropdown .menubar, #dropdown .menu, #dropdown .item, #dropdown .separator{
background-color: #99B5CC;
color:#FFFFFF;
}

#dropdown .separator{
border: 1px inset #e0e0e0;
}

#dropdown .menu a:hover{
color: #333;
}
/* color - end */



Otherwise you could also try the cbb homepage forums on http://cbb.getituponline.com. Especially if you are still using newbb 1.x as i am not sure if you could use the update script provided with the cbb 1.x version.
Sorry, this signature is experiencing technical difficulties. We will return you to the sheduled signature as soon as possible ...

Cause newbb2 does not work correctly in XOOPS 2.2 (
see this topic), I want to swith to CBB but of course without losing posts, cats, forums. Does the previous answer works? Or is there a better solution?
Thanks in advance!
