BoardsPackage Upgrade Process

Many have wondered when bitweaver-native forums will be ready. Many have likewise wondered if they'll be able to retain their current phpBB posts when upgrading.

To all of those whom have waited so long - the time has come to show you the light!

Retain Your Formatting

Before you run the upgrader, take the time to install BBCode format parser on your server. You can do this by running the following command:

<?php
pear install Text_Wiki_BBCode
-alpha
?>


After the PEAR library has been installed, enable BBCode in Administration -> Liberty -> Plugins.

Next, install the BoardsPackage. Please remember that BoardsPackage is only available to those running R2.
