Upgrade question

sspmustang · April 6th, 2008, 02:02 PM

Hello all,
I am currently running VBAdvanced 1.0.1 with VB 3.16. I have been putting off the upgrade process for some time(on both), and am now wondering what the best process would be? I hope there is a way to preserve all the current uploads and files that exist.

I am planning on doing the VB upgrade as well, but am thinking it may be better to do the VBA upgrade first? Thanks.

- back up before you start (database, file system)
- upgrade vBulletin Forums 1st, then the gallery.

Give a yell if ya need some help.

Thanks Zach. Any issues with this path that you know of? Backups of course, but I know in the past when I've upgraded VB I've lost the VBA menus and it's been somewhat of a PIA to recreate.

Is this something you guys offer as a service?

Updates should be cut and dry.

- In the past there were need of file edits and manual template changes this has changed.

From that long, ago your forums will most likely need all of the templates reverted. You may want to create a "New" default style and migrate (if any) old templates into the new style after the upgrade.

Thanks. One other ?-is there a separate VB product to replace VBG 1.x, or I am purchasing/upgrading to PhotoPost?

The 2 products Pro and VBGallery are under 1 license.
- you can choose what software to install.
