level of upgrade

[gsb]

Have not updated for many years: currently have version 1.3. It is possible to simply upgrade to newest version? Which versions are compatible for upgrades with each other?

Check these:

• - Recommended upgrade path: http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/upgrading/old-versions;
• - Recommended upgrade procedures: http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/upgrading ... nformation;

what does this mean?

Call to undefined function get_stylesheet_media_types() in /home/b/a/baap/website/plugins/function.stylesheet.php on line 39

I'm assuming this is related with your other post?
So... if you are upgrading, what did you do, and what version of CMSMS where you aiming at while upgrading?
Please read this carefully before you post again...

Sorry I hadn't provided enough details.
Am trying to upgrade 1.3 to 1.11.10. First backed up original site, then downloaded 1.11.10. Using FTP uploaded 1.11.10, to overwrite the existing files on the hosting server. Upload seem to work fine, went through the steps outlined here
http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/upgrading ... nformation
In the verification process found several errors, but except for the above problem was able to diagnose the problems and perform a fix. Mostly cleaning up some code such as unnecessary <p>. But I don't have much code experience, and was mostly working in the dark. I can't tell you for sure what worked and what didn't. In the end, however, was left with the error message above and felt stymied in how to proceed.

You took a risk by not following the recommended upgrade steps. As you seem to have a backup you can try the following:

• - check all templates for a tag {stylesheet} and change the occurrences to {cms_stylesheet};
• - find and rename:
  • -- file CMS_ROOT/plugins/function.stylesheet.php;
  • -- file CMS_ROOT/stylesheet.php;

If this doesn't work, I recommend you to revert to the backup, and follow the upgrade steps.

Note: I merged both topics as these were related.
