Hi All

Need some assistance in the best way of upgrading from Fireboard 1.0.5RC2 to the latest release of Kunena whil preserving as much data as possible.

Anyone have a step by step guide for the JA Sanidine template

Cheers Rhys

Since, you already are on Fireboard 1.0.5 RC2, you can safely uninstall it and install Kunena. Kunena will take over Fireboard tables on its own.

Its always a better idea to read the upgrade manuals and Complete BACKUPS.

Best of Luck.

Regards

Arvind

Backup is generally taken for the whole site plus database. You can use Joomlapack for the same.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /public_html/administrator/components/com_kunena/toolbar.kunena.php on line 92

Any ideas?

Sorry mate,

No idea about that error, i have migrated and upgraded fireboard to kunena many times, but i have not encountered the problem so far.

I hope you have taken the database and site backup. If you wish I can try to help you out, but i would need admin access to your site and phpmyadmin access. If you are comfortable, you can PM me the login details. I shall take the due backups before trying it out.

Regards

arvind

Found the solution, just upload the toolbar.kunena.php file manually via FTP
