ok, if nobody is going to help with Article 2.0RC
Can someone tell me if I revert back to Article 1.00 will I loose all my data?
I installed 1.00, then installed 2.0RC, and then built my site.
Back Up your database I just use PHPMyAdmin in CPanel on my hosting account, particularly or only the Article tables (all of them). Then try uploading Article 1.0 either by just uploading and overwriting Article 2.0 or Delete 2.0 from your webspace first (don't uninstall it from XOOPS Admin first) then upload 1.0. When I did it I deleted article 2.0 first (not uninstall as that deletes the DB tables). If you don't feel comfortable doing that then you would be best to wait for Article 2.0 final.
If it all turns pear shaped, then just replace the Article tables from the Back up and reinstall Article 2.0 and wait till we get 2.0 final.
I was in the same situation as you are, I did what you want to do and it worked, I did not lose any data. It's not to say that your experience will go as smoothly as mine, I did mine a long time ago now, so it was worth doing, you never know Article 2.0 may just be around the corner, so is it worth taking the risk, I see it as a minor risk but you may not?
It's essentially the same as having your site hacked, break, host loses all data etc., though if you have a recent back up, quite often the effects are minimal (hopefully your host does regular back ups, most suggest you do your own as well though)
Good luck with whatever you decide ;o)
