Guide Alfa1's Upgrade & Import steps Viewing Source Here are the steps I follow testing out a new release for upgrade and import from VW3 to VW4: [LIST=1] [*] 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 [/LIST] To be expanded. 1,731 characters
