3.0.7-PL1 question

[Phoenix1956]

I think l'll just to a total new phpbb. Now heres a easy question. Will the templates ect for the 3.0.6 work in the 3.0.7-pl1? Or can l use any bb3 templates? If l'ma gonn do this, might as well use the newest verson right

Hello Phoenix1956,

Thanks for the question.

There were some style changes made in 3.0.7. It seems like a majority of them are relatively unimportant, but there are probably some that need to be made. You can find the changes at: http://www.phpbbhacks.com/download/9127

And then you can apply the changes based on whether or not the style is based on prosilver or subsilver2. I hope that this makes sense. If it doesn't, please feel free to ask.

Thanks,

Patrick

OK. unzipped the files for the PL1 in the folder. Went to the install and guess what? No convert tab I am trying to convert my 2.0.23 to the latest 3.0.7-PL1
I got NO error messages. It unzipped into the right folder. got the install folder, BUT no dang " Convert " tab.

Any reason for that? or did l do something wrong?

I'm not sure, myself, sorry. Does anyone else have any thoughts?

Thanks,

Patrick

if you are still having this problem .......

I would suggest going 2.0.23 to 3.0.0

THEN with 3.0.0 up and running ....

upgrade to next version

find wording on downloads page

"Automatic Update Package"

then find "Show Files"

click on show files

click on the first zip you see

unpack the zip on your computer

Upload the archives contents to your phpBB installation - only the install folder is required.

Upload the whole install folder, retaining the file structure.

After the install folder is present, phpBB3 will go offline automatically.

Point your browser to the install directory, for example http://www.example.com/phpBB3/install/

Choose the "Update" Tab and follow the instructions

HAVE YOUR FTP username and password ready, you will need it
