- Alfa1's Upgrade & Import steps
Printable Version
Here are the steps I follow testing out a new release for upgrade and import from VW3 to VW4:
- If installed: Uninstall VW4
- If installed: Remove all VW4 directories in the Vault directory, including the install dir.
- Enable: Options > VaultWiki: Legacy Options > Support Legacy Syntax = NuWiki
- Disable VW3
- edit config and import file
- Upload the files of the new build.
- If you use Xcache, restart PHP to clear it. Make sure the cache prefix in vBulletin's config file is unique.
- Install here: /vault/install/index.php
- Check vBulletin's BB-Code Manager and make sure the wiki BB-Codes still have the same names you've been using. If they don't, rename them. Make sure that all the wiki BB-Codes have a "Unique Tag Key" under "Wiki-Related Options". If they don't, something went wrong already and you will need to report the broken BB-Codes.
- If you have Debug Mode on, go to Settings > VaultWiki: Untouchable Settings > ID of the System Area. Make sure this has a number filled in. If it's blank, get the ID for "System" from the Area Manager (it will be in the heading when you Edit it), and fill it in.
- Import.
- In navigation set Area Contents Per Page to same number as Number of Previewed Area Contents.
- Open large popular wiki and check:
- bb codes
- editor icons- Change table bbcode
- Set wiki bbcodes to wiki code group in bb code manager
- Only for final import: Delete bb codes: book, redirect
- set permissions
- check redirects and special pages
- check comments
- check main page
- configure sidebar blocks
- check styling
- Report all bugs
- Wait for new build
- Go to 1
