Using both Newbb 2 and Newbb Pro? Or giving up Xoops...

Hi

I am using Newbb Pro today and it stinks because I can not upgrade my XOOPS v. 2.0.7.3. Newbb Pro seems to mess up the upgrade.

First of all I need Newbb 2. But I can not delete the old forum with 2500+ posts. So I was thinking of cloning Newbb 2 so that it will be possible to use the Newbbpro as a closed forum archive. Not the perfect solution - but the only one I guess? Is it possible?

If it is possible - what will happen when I am trying to upgrade the XOOPS core? Or future upgrades of Newbb 2? Will XOOPS try to overwrite Newbb Pro because it will be the original forum module?

What can I do? I am soon about to give up XOOPS since I am stuck with Newbb Pro and XOOPS v. 2.0.7.3...

Please help?

/Karl

If you download newbb 2.02 first, inside the update folder is a newbbpro_to_newbb2.php. Backup your site of course first, run the script to upgrade to newbb2. After you upgrade to newbb 2.02 then you can upgrade to the latest CBB 1.15.

During the upgrade you can delete the current newbb folder with no loss of data as all posts are contained in the database.

See the Newbb1 to Newbb2 upgrade flash tutorial to show how to do it. But make sure you do a backup before any changes are made.

HTH.

Thanks, I tried that, but the update script will not work! I get red errors, on every try to update the database.

What can I do?

Well now I reinstalled Pro again just to have something working for my users. But the script just told me "can't update data base tabel xx" or something like that. Nothing else.

To get accurate help, your information regarding error msgs should be more specific. Nobody can give proper support with: "database tabel xx .. or something like that"

When trying to update there are a few check lines that should be green. The red colored error messages does not tell me anything but that it could not write to these tables that are mentioned default i green.

But OK... I will get back when I have tried and failed again then if this will help me.
