I'm getting ready to move towards the daily builds of version 17, but I have one question. from what I'm reading, this is not going to be compatable with the old runemaster web of what was in prior versions, and moving forward, it's being replaced with echickens web program. My question is, will updating to ver 17 kill my present web, or will I have a chance to update slowly, or should I switch over to EC web program first. I've put a lot of work into my web page, and I don't want to lose it by just switching versions of sync. Thanks

v3.17 will work fine with the legacy/runemaster Web UI. You don't have to switch to echicken's or any other Web UI framework if you don't want to.

Do you have a compelling reason to move to version 3.17? 3.16c is still quite recent. Just wondering if there's some new feature or bug fix that you want to take advantage of.

Not sure where you read that, but it isn't true. The stock web UI will still work, and my latest web UI isn't even in the Synchronet CVS repository yet.

question is, will updating to ver 17 kill my present web, or will I have a chance to update slowly, or should I switch over to EC web program first.

Doing a CVS update (or otherwise doing some wholesale update) of your 'web' directory will likely stomp all over any customizations you've made to the stock web UI. So don't do that.

I've put a lot of work into my web page, and I don't want to lose it by just switching versions of sync. Thanks

How do you plan on updating? If you're on Windows and grabbing the sbbs_dev.zip and sbbs_run.zip archives, they won't touch your 'web' directory IIRC. If you're pulling in CVS updates, just be careful which directories you update.

a thought (being I am doing this) if you have another computer setup sbbs on it, then change the web info in sbbsctrl and start move your current sbbs pages over, and make any changes and and soon as your happy with it, move the changes over to your main sbbs (after you changes the info in sbbsctrl)

No, not at the moment, but I got used to the dayly builds on 3.16, and 3.17 seems to be getting stable, so I thought I would jump back in.

Not sure where you read that, but it isn't true. The stock web UI will still work, and my latest web UI isn't even in the Synchronet CVS repository yet.

I didn't actually read persay, I've just been noticing all the chatter, and the web seemed to be getting a lot of attention since 3.17, so I deduced it was a problem area, so I thought I would ask.

How do you plan on updating? If you're on Windows and grabbing the sbbs_dev.zip and sbbs_run.zip archives, they won't touch your 'web' directory IIRC.

I just grab the dev and run zips, thats all i've ever done.

Thanks for clearing this up.

Actualy, thats what I'm in the process of doing. It will allow me to keep what I have while I move forward with a new web design,, and I will be able to test it locally as I go. Thanks
