Topic: Updating to the latest version of PunBB 1.2

Hi!

I reactivated an old page of mine using PunBB 1.2.15. I made lot's of modifications, especially with the style, so I don't want to upgrade to 1.3. But I think it would be good to upgrade to the latest release of PunBB, at least for security issues.

How can I do it? I can't find a tutorial in the wiki.

Thanks,
David

What you would have to do is to use the hdiff.

http://punbb.informer.com/download/hdiff/

Go from 1.2.15 - 1.2.16, 1.2.16 - 1.2.17 etc

Might take a while, but at least you'll be up to date with 1.2 wink

This might take too long. wink

Isn't it possible to replace the changed files and make an database update? I only made changed on the styling files, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks.

If you only edited the styles then yes.

Sorry. Unactive due to personal life.

And how exactly? Just download the latest update, replace everything and I'm done? smile

Yep.
As far as I can remember, There was not any database updates from 1.2.15 to the latest, So it is just a file replacement.
