Topic: updating from 1.2.17 to 1.2.20

is there a way to see the changes made? I downloaded the zip and its has a lot of files but I dont know whats changed. My forum has a lot of stuff changed like added login box, custom switch so I can turn images on or off per forum etc and I dont want to mess anything up. Im not a pro at this and I had to have help with those changes and Im afraid I will mess something up.

Thanks in advance!

Thank you. Im having a hard time figuring out what to do. It appears the new code is listed in these but Im not sure what to replace or just add? Am I missing something? Like in mods it says "replace x with y" etc.

I really only want to fix any security issues. The board is fine the way it is smile

The lines beginning with a minus sign are the original lines. The respective lines after them beginning with the plus sign are their replacements.

I have just updated to 1.2.21 but in Administration I still see

There isnt the usual update script i.e. 12_to_1221_update.php - should there be?

Simon2, maybe this article will help you in upgrading your forum.

Re: updating from 1.2.17 to 1.2.20

Yes I followed the instructions and everything was fine upgrading to 1.2.20

but going from 1.2.20 to 1.2.21 there is no 'extras' folder in any of the download zip files

Try to upload the archive with forum again, I have checked all archives and there is a folder "extras".

I just downloaded again
http://punbb.informer.com/download/punb … _files.zip

all it has is
CHANGED_FILES_ONLY
/upload/ - folder containing 3 .php files

I also tried the gz version which is the same

The "extras" directory is an archive of whole forum. The archive you've downloaded contains only the changed files.
