Forum OpenACS Development: Upgrade to 5.3.1, cheat sheet ?

Collapse
Posted by Malte Sussdorff on
I am wondering who else has *UPGRADED* a site to 5.3.1 and if we could write up collaboratively a documentation on all the things you need to change to keep your site remotely looking like it was before the upgrade?

- I know of rewriting all uses of "section" in your ad_form. Otherwise you will get a server error complaining about element sec_fieldset missing.
- Furthermore, if you made changes to forms.css or use your own forms.css, "ditch" it and rework all your changes into the latest forms.css. Too bad if you are not a CSS designer.

I agree that the overhaul was necessary, but we should not let users wander into this unprepared, so maybe a page "what do I need to do when upgrading to 5.3.1" would be helpful. It would be even greater if the page would describe how you could get your old look and feel into the new classes.
