Download It :)
 
Yeah, I agree with Will there.

Its on the Downloads page under 'Notification of new releases'.

How many forums have you guys updated so far? Only one I am administrator on uses PHPBB heh. Lucky me :D
 
:p

I keep forgetting lol.

Im only admin on a test forum, but thats for skinning purposes so only one to update :)
 
Jesus I hate phpBB. More than perhaps anything else in the world.

Just nuke the codebase and start from PHP5-compatible scratch already guys :mad:
 
Is it nessecary to update? I'm in the process of making one (spent all weeked trying to get it to look like the rest of the web page.)


Is it Hard to update as well?

You can either leave it as it is and be aware you may have security loop holes. Or you can spend the 10 minutes to download the change files, upload them, run the install file and then delete the install and contrib directories. If you've got mods installed then you will have to change the code manually, which is a lot more tedious.

10 minutes now can save a lot of agro in the future and no, it's not difficult.

It shouldn't change any alterations you have made to your own theme, but I'd back yours up first just in case it does.
 
OK, there is no contrib file. I deleted the Install one and the forum is how it was before, and on my administrator panel it says I'm still on 2.0.19....

Never mind, closed firefox and went back to it and it is on the latest one. Thanks.

btw. I would say it was close to 1 minute including the download time. :p

Did you follow the instructions?
7.ii. Changed files only

This package contains a number of archives, each contains the files changed from a given release to the latest version. You should select the appropriate archive for your current version, e.g. if you currently have 2.0.19 you should select the phpBB-2.0.19_to_2.0.20.zip/tar.gz file.

The directory structure has been preserved enabling you (if you wish) to simply upload the contents of the archive to the appropriate location on your server, i.e. simply overwrite the existing files with the new versions. Do not forget that if you have installed any Mods these files will overwrite the originals possibly destroying them in the process. You will need to re-add Mods to any affected file before uploading.

As for the other upgrade procedures you should run install/update_to_latest.php after you have finished updating the files. This will update your database schema and increment the version number.

You should upload the cache, contrib and install folders from the main zip.
Then unzip the the phpBB-2.0.19_to_2.0.20.zip.
Upload the files from in there.
Run the install file from your browser. forum/install/update_to_latest.php
Then delete the install and contrib folders.

Then run the forum/install/update_to_latest.php file. You should then be taken to a page displaying the update details. Then when you access the forum it will tell you to delete the contrib and install folders. :)
 
Yeah, I did that. There wasn't as many files as I thought. I have done it how you said, and it seems to have worked, it has changed the font colour background on the drop down box though :( I will find where it sticks this file so I can change it to black.
