Dear forum members:


Firstly, I just finished installing my second forum. I basically installed the forum using the phpBB3.0.1 installation, then I installed the 3.0.1 Premod. Installation went perfectly smooth, and the forum works very well and uses the Advanced SEO Mods. No problems with this forum at all.


My problem is with my first forum. I installed it just a few weeks before phpBB3 3.0.1 was out. In a nutshell, I installed phpBB 3.0 then installed the Advanced 3.0 Premod. This installation was fine. Then Premod 3.0.1 was released. I think that I made a mistake by not upgrading my forum to phpBB 3.0.1. What I did was install 3.0.1 Premod on top of phpBB 3.0!

Looking at the SEO administration tab, I see some items different. Comparing the php files, I see coding differences. Although this first installation works, I have noticed differences and minor problems.

1) Did I do wrong by installing 3.0.1 Premod over a phpBB 3.0/Advanced Premod 3.0 forum?

2) Was I supposed to upgrade my phpBB 3.0 forum/Advanced Premod 3.0 to phpBB 3.0.1 first, then add the Premod 3.0.1?

Thank you very much,

Jeff


P.S. The 'System' tab says:

"Version check
Checks to see if the version of phpBB you are currently running is up to date.

Your version of phpBB is not up to date.
Below you will find a link to the release announcement for the latest version as well as instructions on how to perform the update.

Current version 3.0.0 Latest version 3.0.1"

And I have the Premod 3.0.1 installed on it

In principle, doing what you did is bad

But in this particular case, it's no big deal, as long as you where using the default phpBB3.0.0 code ans style and moved to the default premod 3.0.1 (no other mods).

Your main risk was to loose customization made to phpBB3.0.0 (styling mainly).

So, all you need to do now, is update the db, and clear cache once done, since the update is altering the db as well.
To do so, you just need to load the install/database_update.php file from the modified file package 3.0.1 located here : http://downloads.phpbb-seo.com/seo-url- ... es-58.html

You as well need to make sure you added the no duplicate mod's SQL index, since you installed the premod over a regular phpBB install (it's the only db structure change besides the acp module install part) :

Code: Select all

ALTER TABLE `phpbb_topics` ADD INDEX ( `topic_last_post_id` );

And voilà
