I’m planning to upgrade my 1.6.8 site to 2.1, and I thought there’d be some kind of upgrade guide, but I can’t find it. I see the upgrade instructions in the docs, but what I’m looking for is more, “Hey, here’s what’s different and here’s what to watch out for.” For instance, I happened to stumble upon the fact that the galleries have gone away in 2.X. I need something that tells me what else has gone away, what might need to be coded differently, etc. Is there such a document?

Also, is there a list of which extensions work with 2.X and which don’t? I realize I could go through one by one and check, but I suspect someone has done this work and I haven’t found it yet.

Thanks,
Nathan

The only real annoyance I’ve had in upgrading is nGen fields not converting to the new built in file fields.

Hi Nathan, Fortunately http://devot-ee.com/ lists most if not all of the extensions and shows if they work for 1.6x or 2x or both. I can’t answer the other part.

Thanks, Forrest. I’ll go through it and see what’s what on the extensions.

Anyone have any ideas on the first part - some kind of upgrade or conversion guide?

I’ve this post on template code differences.

Thanks, Mike. That helps and I’ll be sure to use it when I upgrade.

The only real annoyance I’ve had in upgrading is nGen fields not converting to the new built in file fields.

I use that pretty heavily. What is needed to make the change? Do you just create the new file fields with the old nGen feild name?

same here. Anyone have advice on what to do when upgrading a site that relies on nGen fields?
