Hi folks,

Site: Sustain'd - vote on the best LDS-related posts!

This site using old pligg Beta 6 Preview version.Now we are trying to upgrade with pligg 9.8.2 version with preserving exiting data and template . We think directly upgrading is not possible because database structure and template coding changes.

So we decided to first upgrade with pligg 9.0 with following steps
[We found this steps on pligg forum by pligg koder "savant"]

Backup a copy of your dbconnect.php

1. extract pligg 9 and overwrite all files.
2. rename settings.php.default to settings.php
3. ovewrite dbconnect.php with the one you backed up.
4. If you get an error saying function already exists add // infront of function _($s) {return $s;}

5. in settings.php: set table_prefix to ""

define('table_prefix', '');

6. create the config table. [

CREATE TABLE config (
`var_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`var_page` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`var_name` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`var_value` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`var_defaultvalue` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
`var_optiontext` varchar(200) NOT NULL,
`var_title` varchar(200) NOT NULL,
`var_desc` text NOT NULL,
`var_method` varchar(10) NOT NULL,
`var_enclosein` varchar(5) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`var_id`)
) TYPE = MyISAM;

]

7. Import /install/upgrade_config_table.sql into phpmyadmin. This will fill up config.php

8. Run upgrade.php

9. in settings.php: set table_prefix to "". and other stuff like $my_pligg_base




And then upgrade this with pligg 9.8.2.

After this we will start template modification with yget to match with our old site template.


So please guide us that we are going to right way or not? If anybody known any better idea then please revert it.

Is it possible to modify yget (pligg 9.8.2) template to match with old template (Sustain'd - vote on the best LDS-related posts!)



Please guide us.
