Upgrade embedded phpBB 2.0.7 to 2.0.10?

Hi,

I am using v 7.2 and have phpBB v 2.0.7 embedded. How can I upgrade to the v.2.0.10 of phpBB and still have it embedded in my site?

I downloaded update files from the phpBB site and in it are specific php files that are for 2.0.7 to 2.0.10. Can I just replace these files with the new ones? Will this affect how the board is embedded in my site?

I haven't done any modifications besides the theme which I downloaded of a site.

Thanks

You can't use files downloaded from phpbb.com, they are not ported to work with Nuke, get the ported upgrade packs at www.nukeresources.com you will need 2.0.8, 2.0.9 and then 2.0.10

OK,

I found 3 files at nukeresources.com BBtoNuke208, BBtoNuke209 and BBtoNuke210.

I have downloaded them but am unsure how to install the upgrades. Do I just upload the files to my server?

BBtoNuke208 has a folder called includes that I can't find any corresponding folder on my server. Also there is a updatedb.php file that I don't know what to do with.

Also I see that this site is not using the latest version. Is there any benefit to me doing the upgrade?

Any help would be appreciated, I don't want to mess my site up.

Thanks

If you are using Nuke 7.2 you should have a includes folder alongside the blocks, admin, modules, themes, etc folders, the upgrade packs are simple to apply, check the download descriptions at nukeresources for instructions, basically you must upload the files and run the upgrade scripts included with each by pointing your browser to http://www.yoursite.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=upgradefilename

Well, I did it and the keyboard didn't fry and the monitor still works and my site is still up and the forum is still there.

Thanks for the help.

Now maybe I'll tackle the security updates.

I don't use GT, i use another variant, i imagine the GT will no longer get updated but it would be best if someone asked the authors.

I use GT next gen - the rewrites will be the same i would have thought. What do you use then?

The same one you use and i think it is working on my sites, what's wrong with yours?

Dont know - its just not rewriting Sad

Do you use the header and footer file GT modifications or just the mainfile supermod.

Im using the mainfile supermod......could be the reason.

not rewriting the forums that is .......the rest of the site works great!!

I just reverted back to old header and footer with GT addition - forums are now working.

Very Happy

I need to use the mainfile version.

What do i need to do to get the forums to stop using the header and footer to get the GT info, but rather use the mainfile.php.

Ive looked through the whole of the forums, there is NO include or require_once for the header or footer.

Im guessing here but it seems to me i need to somehow find how these 2 files are been called upon and do an require once for the mainfile.php.

Can anyone help me?

If you mean to have them use the code as it was changed to in version 0.4a download it again and check the instructions for editing both files, i.e. all the code from header.php was changed to:
nextGenTap(1,0,0);
