Yeah, that is useful too.

Now that WWF is more refined, I am finding less and less I need to modify, thank goodness.

I'm mostly waiting for 9.x when some major features for the calendar and image/video gallery.

Yep - I got that part down!  What I really should have done is made notes about what I've gone in and modified. :P
 
Thanks!

ALWAYS remember to backup your old installation in case there are problems.  Then you can always copy the old files back if there are problems.]]> Mon, 12 Feb 2007 21:35:58 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/safe-upgrade-procedures_topic22670_post120481.html#120481 <![CDATA[Safe upgrade procedures? : The upgrade doesn&#039;t require...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/safe-upgrade-procedures_topic22670_post120465.html#120465 Author: WebWiz-Bruce

The upgrade doesn't require you to re-license all you need to do between minor versions like this is have a look in the Version History file that comes with the download for the changed files between the two versions and then update those file.]]> Mon, 12 Feb 2007 15:46:59 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/safe-upgrade-procedures_topic22670_post120465.html#120465 <![CDATA[Safe upgrade procedures? : I know there have been a couple...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/safe-upgrade-procedures_topic22670_post120464.html#120464 Author: arothman

I know there have been a couple of similar questions, but I wanted to be sure. :)  I've got 8.03 and I want to go up to the latest.  If I have a registered copy of the forum running, does the upgrade require me to 're-license' or does the registration info stay in place when I apply the new version?
 
Also, is there a 'patch list' that says exactly which .asp files and so forth have actually been altered in the new release so I don't overwrite the whole folder unecessarily?  I have manually altered a number of includes and other pages to fit my site's look and function, and I don't want to update and then have to go figure out exactly which parts of the forum code have been changed specifically so I can put my own changes back in.
 
Thanks!!
Drew
