My favorite forum script (PunBB) released its latest version last week (PunBB 1.2.14). Yes, I use it for my Orangescale Forum,
When I upgraded to the latest version (not only to the latest version), I always checked the latest changes files. Why? Because I made many modifications on the core files. So, as long as the latest files in the distribution do not affect my modifications, I just simply upload the changed files only. And of course, I can just apply the patch.
Upgrading to the latest release was extremely easy.
- Download the files you need.
- You can choose whether you want to download the full package, patch or changed files only. I chose the latest option.
- Backup the database. You can use DB Management plugin for PunBB. Nice plugin!
- If you made changes in you PunBB core files, make a backup. If you are not sure which files you modified, it is time to make that kind of notes. :)
- Extract the compressed file you downloaded. Upload all files under
upload
directory to your PunBB installation folder. - Upload the
xx_to_xxxx_update.php
inextras
folder. This file should reside in your main PunBB folder. - Run the upgrade script. Open your browser, point to
xx_to_xxxx_update.php
. Even you have uploaded the latest files, you need to do this step too. - Remove the upgrade script from you webhosting server.
- Voila!
For me, PunBB is a great forum software. Now, if you use PunBB, have you upgraded to the latest version? Note: All plugins work without problems after the upgrade.

BBpress juga sudah keluar, adik dari WP dalam urusan bulletin board.
Wah, saya belum pernah coba BBpress dengan WordPress, Mas. Udah coba?
ya sudah dwong :D
BBpress memang ringkas , tampilan admin menunya mirip dengan WP ( tentu saja ) , tagsonomy banget , dan sederhana.
sakin’ sederhananya untuk installasi mbutuh ketelitian yg amat sangat, pengalaman gara – gara keliru di “doubleslash” setting keseluruhan kacau balau.
Banyak yang harus diperhatikan , BBpress bagus tapi tidak cukup- bagus untuk pemula.
Info : TxP pun bisa juga pakai plugins forum tapi ya itu masih eperimental , sangat tidak disarankan.
EE malah punya modul forum embed , keren tapi bayar :(
maaf , nyepam , tapi rasanya vanilla , menurut aye itu yg terbaik!
Wah belum coba Vanilla saya, Mas. Sementara ini, masih setia sama punBB … hehehe :D
saya juga suka vanilla =), yang dipake di skillshare-nya cssbeauty itu kan?
OOT : halo thom, sepurane nek aku ono salah2 yo =)
