Topic: Subcats and punbb 1.3?

Hello,

i was off with my site a longer time ago .. so now i just work on a relaunch of my community. By this fact i've a question about the future of punbb .. 3.x ..

If i install with punbb 2.15 a subcategory modification, what about the update issue with punbb 3.x .. could it be a problem? There are any plans about subcategory native support of punbb 3.x ? And last but not least ;o) Is there a publish date for punbb 3.x (i know, its ready when it is done - like Blizzard *g*)?

Thx for answer!

PunBB 1.3 wink

There shouldn't be any problems except for that your mod will stop working, since you will need updated code for the new version. However, there shouldn't be much of an issue from a database perspective.
Native subforum support? It's possible, but not exceedingly likely.
And as you said, it's done when it's done wink

Re: Subcats and punbb 1.3?

You misunderstood me a little wink
The upgrade to 1.3 will involve you replacing all of your existing code with a new version (there are too many changes for an hdiff). This means that all modifications you installed will be "gone." However, the modifications that have been made to the database won't be erased. So, if you install 1.3 and then install a newly written subforum extension that uses your existing subforum data, all your data will still be there. If you don't install a new extension, the data will still be in the database but not accessible outside of that.
