Not trying to upgrade.  It's a clean 2.0.17 install, this is initial TP install.  We're running a 30 Nov database, later dumps were trashed.  There are TP tables in db, I'll drop them and retry install.

That worked, thanks.

Well you were upgrading if you already had a database table there...

[Steve]

I asked this when the version was 1.1 but I never upgraded. I'd like to upgrade now so I need to know if the current version will pick up the blocks I currently have.

Thanks.

Yes they should still work. I don't know the changes between 1.1 and 1.3 as that was before I worked on the project.

But based on my knowledge you will need to go to TinyPortal 1.5.0 roughly first. That is available here; https://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?action=tportal;sa=download;dl=item119

Personally I would go 1.5.0 -> 1.6.7 -> 2.0.0

[Steve]

Thanks tinoest.

Just an FYI on upgrading to TP2.0.0. Due to some version number changes in the past there are a few limitations when installing TP on a database that already has TP tables in it...

The install error 'Unknown column 'var5' in 'field list''is an indication of a TinyPortal versions older than 1.4R. If this error pops up, when installing 2.0.0 follow the instructions below for versions of 1.3 and before...

You can only go to 1.6.8 from version 1.6.3 and up, so the path Tinoest described is not feasible...

Recommended upgrade path to 2.0.0:
- if the old TP version in the database is 1.4R or higher: you can install 2.0.0 directly
- if the old TP version is 1.3 or before: you should install 1.6.7 first then uninstall and install TP 2.0.0

Thank ya much.

Recommended upgrade path to 2.0.0:
- if the old TP version in the database is 1.4R or higher: you can install 2.0.0 directly
- if the old TP version is 1.3 or before: you should install 1.6.7 first then uninstall and install TP 2.0.0

To update the above information.

Now we have released TinyPortal 2.0.1 you should be able to go from TinyPortal 1.3 or before to TinyPortal 2.0.1 without the intermediate step, along with it working from TinyPortal 1.4R or higher. If you want to go to TinyPortal 2.0.0 the above still applies although TinyPortal 2.0.1 does include some bug fixes and no known regressions, so there is no reason not to switch to it over TinyPortal 2.0.0.

[Steve]

Thanks again. Will give it a spin.

Is TP fully responsive in responsive themes?

[lurkalot]

Yes, but as you said only when running a responsive theme.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

That's what I need.  Don't suppose there's any easy way to import SP content into TP?

At the moment , no.

An initial effort was made to create an import module, but that is not finished ...

[Sir Osis of Liver]

I'll copy the block content from one to the other.  This one's turning into a real hairball.

[tinoest]

I'll copy the block content from one to the other.  This one's turning into a real hairball.

Some of the block content is copied across. Same as some of the article data.

I stopped on the work as it was at a stage where it converted enough across, and the rest imo was easy enough to copy across or create new. Other's disagree, but it is a start.

This one's turning into a real hairball.

Just don't cough it up ...

On the modification page there is information about the latest version 2.0.0, it should be 2.0.1

[lurkalot]

Yep, sorry I missed that when I did the release, also added 2.0.18 to the "Compatible With:"

Thank you for the heads up.
