recommendation for upgrading

[darkidan]

hello, i have a recommendation for you, most of the people who will use IPB 4.0 will have to upgrade their systems, and the main problem will be the mods and hooks.

what i recommend is that in the upgrader itself you will either have a button to stop all the hooks or a messege for the users to disable the hooks.

that way you will have less bugs and reports and the upgrade will work better and maybe faster.

Hi,

This sounds like a suggestion for IPS, and I don't work for them.

 

Are you referring to the Thanks Mod?

[darkidan]

it is a suggestion for IPS.. and i am not referring to thanks mod, nothing close to that..

No hooks from previous versions will work on IPS 4, so all hooks on IPS 3 installations should already be automatically disabled by the upgrade process to IPS 4. If it doesn't look like this is the case, then I would file a bug for it. Delegating this task or choice to the admin that does the upgrades would just create unnecessary hurdles for them to overcome.

IPB4 is a complete rewrite of the codebase. No IPB3 hooks, applications or skins will work with IPB4 in any aspect, they (should) all be removed on upgrade.

I thought that the upgrade just automatically disabled it when you went through the upgrade process?

TSP - if you can- please do it, i don't know how the upgrade works, so if you can post about it - it will be better.

Kirito - i know, but i don't know how the upgrade happens, if it deletes it or disable it or it doesn't do a thing.. i too think they should remove it, but it is easier to disable it.

Dorian Gray - that is what we need to know, i am still waiting for an answer from the IPS Team..
