Re: 1.6 version om PHP 5.6?
Though I honestly cannot remember, and didn't look it up
Since CMSMS 1.7 was the first version that worked with PHP 5.3 I would think that 1.6 will NOT work with PHP 5.6

Re: 1.6 version om PHP 5.6?
CMSMS 1.6 has worked for me with PHP 5.2 in the past . Have not tried other php configurations.
Think it depends on your configuration (especially used modules) you don't talk about. In very special situations it could maybe possible with some quick fixes. In minimum you should set database to mysqli (php 5.6 does not support mysql). And inside sources are some deprecated commands like ereg()...
Think you should hire a professional ... or try to update ... or both

Re: 1.6 version om PHP 5.6?
Thank you. all!
Seems like I'm giving up in this case. Tried but there are too many problems in the code to upgrade. That's the case when people don't upgrade in time
Seems I'm better off moving the sites to WP then trying to upgrading them.

Re: 1.6 version om PHP 5.6?
I'm not sure what is your point with the previous post, but I'm willing to bet that it will be far easier, faster and less expensive to upgrade at least to CMSMS 1.12.x than to migrate to WP. Besides, WP is a bloated blog system not a proper CMS.

Re: 1.6 version om PHP 5.6?
Not really ... cause there's no tool to convert all different content from CMSMS (content, menu, global content, module content ...) to WP. I'm sure you would have the same trouble if you update a 7 years old wp installation. A CMS is like a car - needs regularly support and service .helixkalle wrote: Seems I'm better off moving the sites to WP then trying to upgrading them.
Like @JoMorg said it's normally faster to update CMSMS. But in cause of a lot source changes you should do it step by step - from first step to 1.6.10 (last version which supports PHP 4) over 1.9.4.3 over 1.10.3 to 1.12.2 to the last step to current 2.1.5. Don't forget db backups and checking functionality of the sites after every step.
I know it will need some time but it's worth it.

Re: 1.6 version om PHP 5.6?
Well thank you.
This are the modules that are installed:
Album 0.9.2
Banners 2.1.0
FCKeditorX 1.0.1
FileManager 1.0
Guestbook 1.1.2
MenuManager 1.6
ModuleManager 1.3
nuSOAP 1.0.1
Printing 1.0
ThemeManager 1.1.1
I will have to track them all down and see if they can be upgraded.

Re: 1.6 version om PHP 5.6?
With the exception of FCKeditorX and nuSOAP, all can be upgraded to work with CMSMS 1.12.x.
FCKeditorX may be replaced by Microtiny or even Tinymce, and nuSOAP won't be needed in 1.12.x.
I'm not sure about Printing but you can always contact the module developer to see if he is available to look into it.
Most other modules are working fine in their final release and Album will have a release soon for CMSMS 2.x.
As long as you have a full backup and read the docs available you should be fine.

Module Printing as a core module was replaced by CMSPrinting some years ago .Jo Morg wrote: I'm not sure about Printing but you can always contact the module developer to see if he is available to look into it.
But CMSPrinting does not support PDF output. This part was outsourced to another module

And Guestbook is out of development for a long time. But there's a good HowTo to move to another module named GBook

Yeah, I keep mixing them up... Migrating to GBook is extremely simple though...chandra wrote:And Guestbook is out of development for a long time. But there's a good HowTo to move to another module named GBook

Re: 1.6 version om PHP 5.6?
Thank you. Checked it now and both Printing and Guestbook are not even used in the websites.
But 1.12 can that be run on php 5.6?

Then you can deinstall and delete it .helixkalle wrote:both Printing and Guestbook are not even used in the websites.
