1.7.2 to 1.7.6
« on: February 21, 2008, 02:36:40 AM »
Hi.  I am still running the 1.7.2 version (I know, it's been far too long).  I would like to update to the latest version.  I don't have any crazy mods or anything like that.  However, in order to update will I lose all of my users and my data?  Is there an easy way to do this without losing everything?

Please give me some tips and ideas.  Thank you.

Yes. Use Beyond Compare 2 or Winmerge software for compare each PHP files. ;)
8 steps need when ask question -

- PHP version (ACP - > phpinfo())
- mySQL version (ACP - > phpinfo())
- 4images version
- Post screenshot / URL
- Post code in BB Code (no need full file for code) or post attach file
- It doesn't work. What is say - what is do for no work
- Install MOD ? If so - please say (troubleshooting)
- Read FAQ ? Install Bug fixes ?

hi,

1st) backup your data and mysql database!

when you only replace php files you will be ready for 1.7.6
ALL MOD's will be lost!

here you can see what is changed since 1.7.2 in php files and templates:
1.7.3 > http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=13732.0
1.7.4 > http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=15154.0
1.7.5 > http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=20351.0
1.7.6 > http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=20414.0
cheers
Nicky

first find out what mods you are using ... and what mods you really need . A few days back i noticed in one site had installed 4images long long back , mods have become features . ;)
Also the traffic has also changed substantially , so i did not need some mod . Other than that , there are also the changelogs mentioned above , which should give you a pretty good idea.
