Help please with degrading version

Hi, I posted this in begeiners corner but maybe its not begeiners question,so I apologize; no intension to spam my question.

Hi all, I have a problem and I envision 3 solutions.

I developed a site in XOOPS 2.2 modifying CSS, theme, Javascript, modified templates etc (a lot of work).

Turns out that my client really wants a form and a cms to output data to an Excell sheet, and as far as I knew only formulaire for XOOPS version 2.13 does the trick which is incompatible with 2.2.

At this point I dont know what is going to take more time/effort for me since I'm only a begeinner in php &mysql. Could someone teel me which of the following options will be less of a nightmare?

1.- Redeveloping the site in version 2.13 ( fear I wont have time )

2.- Learning a weekend crash course of MySQL php to develop the module myself ( I fear it'll take more than that )

3.- Show the way to my client through PhpMyAdmin to target the table and export to excell ( I frear he'll make a mess if he ever gets in there ).

Please, what should I do?

Tognola - Please do not double post. See our Xopsiquette. However thankyou for acknowledging this. I locked your post in beginners corner so we didn;t have 2 threads on the same topic.

May I also ask for your patience. You will not gat an answer that will necessarily help you in the space of a few hours. In fact it may take days for someone to have the time to offer you some advice.

In the mean time use search and see what experiences other have had with downgrading. Chances are there is already plenty of advice here.

Sorry - I don't have the expertise to offer specific suggestions to you - but I think you are answering your own questions with your judgement of how much time you have.

Cheers

maybe if you go for 2 you could find some usefull classes at http://www.phpclasses.org (just do a search for "excel")

Maybe you can use a stand alone script to do the job temporary. But in that case you will lose the control of group access and so on.

Sorry I can't help more ...

I don't get it...

... you modified the theme and templates, why not install a new XOOPS 2.0.13.2 test site and use your new theme and templates?

You shouldn't need to change much at all, if anything, so I don't understand your question...

Yes, I modified (hard coded) the default theme, administration sections included with javascript, lots of css,etc... I know, it is a solution I Im considering, I just wondered if theres a faster easier way, ( like a degrade your them.exe ), just to begin , the admin part will be gonne, but it is indeed the solution I was geting started with.
Thanks
