Hello,

i´m about to begin a new site, and i´m not sure if it is better to install XOOPS 2.2.3 or any previous version.


Is there any possibility of XOOPS going backwards with the version.


Thank you very much

What are the needs of your website?
I run XOOPS 2.2.3 as well as 2.0.13 on a number of sites, but it depends on what my needs are.
The earlier version is amazingly stable, and will support a lot of the modules right now.
The latest version is still a bit new for all the modules to be updated, and some developers are even waiting for 2.3 before updating their modules. So it really makes a difference which modules you plan to utilize.
I like both, but for different things.

Unless you need the extra features of 2.2.3 immediately - I would use 2.0.13.2 for the moment, and upgrade at a later date.

ROTFL! I just started with XOOPS a few weeks ago for a new site (I am a newbie!, sort of).

I downloaded the latest MySql, PHP, IIS (Windows Web Server), XOOPS 2.2.3a and a handfull of modules. After an agonizing period of several sleepless nights trying to get everything to work 'together', I became frustrated. As I diagnosed issues, I noticed the recommendations were similiar to "use this version" or "that" version. After it was over, I am on XOOPS 2.0.13.2 (I stayed with the latest other tools). I can say that almost all the modules I use (MyAlbum, iContent, Xoopspoll, MyDownload, WebLinks).

If it were me, I'd stay on 2.0.13.2 until ALL the modules YOU NEED are ready to go, otherwise you'll be hacking the modules just to get them to work, which is time consuming.

Dont spend you sleepless nights repeating what I did

Thank you very much!!


I think i will wait till everything is completely compatible with the awaited new versions.

Thanks a lot for your help.


By the way, if you have a XOOPS site and want your site to be linked from mine www.xooperman.com, you just have to register and send me your site.
