Photopost on an upgraded VB forum

[wynode]

Hi,

I'm currently running Photopost PHP 4.8.2 on VBulletin v 3.0.6 and am planning on upgrading VBulletin to v3.5.4.

So my questions are:
1. Do I need Photopost VBGallery or can I use PhotoPost PHP Pro v5.3 (which I can download withing paying for).
2. Do I upgrade my forum to VB3.5.4 first or upgrade my existing install of Photopost first?
3. When you go from VB v3.0.6 -> VB 3.5.4 I've read that the userid's change. Is this going to be a problem?

Thanks

1. PhotoPost Pro is fine, it will automatically detect when you upgrade and requires no adjustment (when running the latest).
2. Upgrade PhotoPost first would be my suggestion.
3. I don't recall the userids changing, are you sure about this? Do you have a link?

I can't find the thread atm but will post back to you on that. I remember reading about it on Vbulletin.com.

Also (in regards to Photopost) is my only option to upgrade my existing board or can I setup a new vanilla VB3.5.4 board and then import the VB3.0.6 data (using Impex) and then the Photopost data?

Michael P, it seems that the userIDs are changed only if you DON'T upgrade VB. So in effect you are right (as I will be going down the upgrade path).

On another note, it turns out my Members' access for PP has expire so in order to download PP PHP Pro v5.3 (the latest I take it) can I just renew my member area access?

Also i'm still not sure what the difference is between Photopost PHP Pro and VBGallery in regards to which is best for my VB forum.

Yes you will just need to renew members access and I posted in the other thread
