How to upgrade from 0.4 to 0.5 ( quick instructions until when/if a script is made ) Move your 0.4 folder out of the way. Keep the config.php and copy it to the new bblog folder. then add to config.php: define('BLOGURL','http://www.example.com/blog/'); define('BBLOGURL',BLOGURL.'bblog/'); // uncommnt if using clean urls // define('CLEANURLS',TRUE); // define('URL_POST',BLOGURL.'article/%postid%/'); // define('URL_SECTION',BLOGURL.'section/%sectionname%/'); Chmod compiled_templates and favorites.xml run SQL: ALTER TABLE `bB_comments` ADD `title` VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL , ADD `type` ENUM( 'comment', 'trackback' ) NOT NULL; CREATE TABLE `bB_plugins` ( `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `type` varchar(50) NOT NULL default 'admin', `name` varchar(60) NOT NULL default '', `ordervalue` decimal(3,2) NOT NULL default '50.00', `nicename` varchar(127) NOT NULL default '', `description` text NOT NULL, `template` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '', `help` mediumtext NOT NULL, `authors` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', `licence` varchar(50) NOT NULL default '', PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ); INSERT INTO `bB_config` VALUES ('', 'PING', 'false'); ALTER TABLE `bB_comments` ADD `deleted` ENUM( 'false', 'true' ) DEFAULT 'false' NOT NULL ; Once you have logged in to bBlog, go to the plugins menu and click 'scan for new plugins' Edit your posts in phpmyadmin, and make sure the section field has : :5:2: instead of 5:2 While you're there, look in the bB_config table, and look at the TEMPLATE row. You should have a folder with that name in your templates folder, either grey or green. look at the included templates, one major thing has changed: {posts} .... {/posts} becomes {getrecentposts assign=posts} {foreach from=$posts item=post} ... {/foreach} Same sort of changes for comments, and single post, look at the included templates for examples.
