Upgrading CMSMS from 1.8.2 to latest version

Post by dmzcms »

Hi there,

Can someone help me out with this problem, i'm trying to upgrade the current version of cmsms 1.8.2 to the latest version, because some modules are complaining about the old cmsms version i'm using. What are the steps to perform such upgrade? I went through the documentation and UPGRADE.txt but i really don't understand it.

Thanks in advance

FIRST OF ALL
upgrade to 1.9.4.3

Users wishing to upgrade to CMSMS 1.10 should follow two similar, but different paths depending upon their sites current version of CMSMS.

It is always important to have a backup of your site, including the database and all relative files before proceeding with an upgrade.
If the version of CMSMS is less than 1.9.3:
a) Perform an upgrade to CMSMS 1.9.4.3 and verify that everything is working fine.
b) Backup your site again. It is always important to have a known-good-backup.

For all users upgrading to CMSMS 1.10:
c: Upgrade all modules to the latest available version.
d: Look at all of the third party plugins you have installed into your sites plugins directory and ensure that they should be compatible with CMSMS 1.10 (you may need to refer to the information below or to the forum for this).
e: Look at all of your User Defined Tags (UDT’s) to insure that they should be compatible with CMSMS 1.10. See the technical information below to see what has changed.
e: Ensure that each module that your site requires is compatible with CMSMS 1.10. As some modules have needed revisions to be compatible. If your site is using some older or less used modules, you may have to contact the modules author or enquire in the CMSMS forum to see if the module is compatible.

The reason why i want to upgrade is because i can't use the CGFeedback module. It complains that it's not compatible with 1.8.2 CMSMS version.

I finally found a CGFeedback version that works, but it has also deppended modules that need downgrading.

Can someone please help me out

Thanks

You will be better off upgrading to at least 1.9.4.3 as the version you have now is vulnerable...

Standard forum policy is: no support for versions more than 2 versions back from the latest version...
