yes i read this somewhere but i can find thet script , maybe he dont made one yet who knows Sad

i will make back up and try with 7.8->7.6 script

listen....he said he wanted to make one,but its wasnt done yet.
if you dont loose that much you could go for a fresh install..
downgrading isnt 100% reliable,but thats my opinion..

man i run my site over a 2 year ! i can lose my visitors or post .... zzz my database is around 50 mb ... so fresh install is not a option, and i know its not 100% safe but i must try i have big problems with 8.0

btw ty all for help if any one else know how to help my he is very welcome/

Posted: Sun Nov 26, 2006 7:11 am

i was just askin...
just contact darklord and ask him if he started with that script or not..

ok i try i not a man who love to force other ppl to do his own homework but i will pm him, ty for advise

Posted: Sun Nov 26, 2006 7:16 am

well he said he would dive into that downgrader....
so seems to me he will do what he promised....

Ok, Like Ive said in the pm, I am very busy, Now because I do not have a vanilla nuke8.0 to work with, This will be a little bit different.
I will try to assert checks so that nothing critical is lost.
This will probably not be ready until next weekend considering I work all week and am finding it a bit difficult to get to my other projects.

I have a downgrader made, it does not require you to go from 8.0 to 7.9 and so on. It will DIRECTLY downgrade from 8.0 to RavenNuke, updating things along the way.

Your default theme will change, as Ravennuke has its own theme that will be uploaded and could possibly overwrite your existing theme.

Its not set right now to alter the tables for nsn_groups(an addon that is used in RavenNuke) OR SENTINEL. I am working on the script to install sentinel tables as RavenNuke has sentinel preinstalled.

If your uptodate on your current installation of sentinel, you will not need to mess with the database for sentinel, and thats why I left it out right now, but also you will need to update ravennukes files used by sentinel as it does not have the latest version.

Downloade the downgrader here:

Read the readme.

TY i need to make full back up now ( on dial-up Sad

) so i will post here my results. I dont have nuke sentinel at all on my 8.0 so can i perform downgrade now ?

and again tywm !!!

Sure, perform the downgrade. Afterwhich I would sudjest you install Sentinel, I will link you to the appropriate Sentinel sql script.

And the nsn groups script, waiting on Raven for something.

Run those 2 files on the sql database to install nsn_groups AND Sentinel, each file installs its respective name.

ty again i can imagine you give me this big help for free ... can i somehow help you or do something ( non sexy Smile

just to be 100% sure i run downgrade script then i run yhose 2 files to install grups for nsn and sentiel ...?

Yes, please run the downgrade script soon, Ive tested it but I havent had others test it, I would like to make sure it goes through smoothly.

Mmm I think maybe the script needs to delete all the
"CHARACTER SET latin1 COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci" lines
