Hi.
I've upgraded the xwiki from 1.2.2 to 1.3 final using the zip distributions
All I did was:
1 - copy the entire directory to a backup folder
2 - unzip the 1.3 zip file xwiki-enterprise-hsqldb-1.3.zip
3 - deleted the newly created database ($XWIKI_HOME/database), and
replaced it with the backed up database folder.
I think this path could go in a FAQ entry. Perhaps it does not make
sense to propose a way of updating from the zipped standalone
distribution running on Jetty/hhsqldb to the war one. The standalone
release is intended to entry level users, and it would be advisable to
move to the war distribution running on whatever servlet container and a
relational database like MySQL or Oracle. But you have your contents in
the standalone version... what database are you planning to run with
XWiki war?
Then I wanted to implement the changes I had made on
the 1.2.2
albatross skin, but since I could not find where to make some changes
(namely how to change the url of the wiki icon, which was defined on
global.vm), I decided instead to:
4 - rename "albatross" (in webapps/xwiki/skins) to
"albatrossORIGINAL";
5 - copy to the skins folder the "albatross" folder from my backed up
1.2.2 xwiki
This is not a good idea. Albatross has changed a lot since 1.2.2 times
(better, the pair Albatross/Toucan :-), so I think you MUST use the new
release. I will be glad to help you to recover your customized behavior,
but first of all we need to work out the collapsed/expanded panels issue.
What do you think?
Saúde,
Ricardo
