I am running bbPHP on one of my sites, but decided to give Invision a spin on a new site I put up, mostly because folks here were touting it, and also because I found it in my add on folder.<br /><br />I have it working, but notice that it is 1.01 and the version running here is 1.1. <sigh> I lust for the calendar so I want to upgrade, anyone been through the mill on this one and want to give me some pointers ?<br /><br />Also since this catagory includes 3rd part apps, I was kind surprised to find that there is not a forum for 3rd party apps, sure would make looking for help easier.<br /><br />Jay<!--content-->
I just got through upgrading a 1.0.1 board to 1.1.1 and it went very smoothly. Download the latest version from Invision and unzip it to your computer. Be sure and view the upgrade_v101.html file (found in the previous_updaters directory) and follow the directions exactly. The instructions were very clear and the process took less than 10-15 minutes. I was updating a board that I had just installed so it had little data so I didn't back anything up. I would be sure that you are using the default skin before updating. The update will replace the default skin and version 1.0 skins are not compatible with version 1.1 skins. Good luck.<!--content-->
