cbb/newbb 2.3 not compatible with Xoops 2.3.0

Hi,

I upgraded from XOOPS 2.2.3 to XOOPS 2.3.0 with an installed newbb 2.3. After the upgrade only a blank window is shown when on the forum. A fresh installation of newbb 2.3 for XOOPS 2.3.0 does not work at all. A blank screen is shown during installation. That's it. It cannot be installed.

Any hints on this ?

Thanks Ingo

Hi,

I read that topic already, but I do not want to upgrade to newbb 4.0 (I also tried newbb 3.0.8 which works with XOOPS 2.3.0).

But... I need to stick to newbb 2.3 because I made changes on that which I want to keep. Also, how can I update to newbb 4.0 if newbb 2.3 does not even work with XOOPS 2.3?

So.. Any hints on getting newbb 2.3 compatible with XOOPS 2.3.0 ?

Thanks Ingo

hello,

>> I need to stick to newbb 2.3 because I made changes on that which I want to keep.
hum, can't you port those modification in 3.08?

>> Also, how can I update to newbb 4.0 if newbb 2.3 does not even work with XOOPS 2.3?
==> hum, first upgrade, on your 2.2x XOOPS site, newbb from newbb2.3 to newbb3.08, with the 3.08 embedded upgrade script. Then upgrade your website to 2.3

Hi Marco,

>> hum, can't you port those modification in 3.08?
Currently, I do not see any alternative
Question would be if the efforts porting the mods from 3.08 to my 2.3 or adapting 3.08 to my mods.

>> ==> hum, first upgrade, on your 2.2x XOOPS site,
>> newbb from newbb2.3 to newbb3.08, with the 3.08

I imagined that...

So.. in general.. no easy way...

Thanks anyway

hum, CBB 2.3 is a very old release of CBB, released the 2005/10/29, so 3 years ago. You have to upgrade first to a newest version.

I tried to upgrade from 2.3 to 3.08

- put the newbb 2.3 in debug mode
- empty cache and template_c
- delete newbb 2.3 directory
- copy newbb 3.08 directory
- hit update in the module menu

result: blank screen, nothing works anymore.
I need to delete newbb3.08 and copy newbb2.3 back to the modules directory. Than it works again.

So.. what's the way to upgrade to 3.08 ?

Thanks Ingo

Both "Frameworks" and "xoopseditor" packages are required by this module.

Having installed the modules, I was able to update to 3.08. But now my design is completely messed up *SIGH*

This somehow keeps me away from really updating to the latest versions

please post debug mode messages if any, but you should be able to upgrade to 3.08 on XOOPS 2.23.
Please check to make use of :
# Frameworks 1.20
# xoopseditor 1.01
and then upgrade to CBB3.08
and then upgrade to 2.3

well, about the upgrade to CBB 3.08, good news!
about your theme, did you update the system module, and activate the refresh theme option in the general preferences, so to generate again the cache templates?
