TOPIC: upgrading from 2.59 to 2.71

I'm looking for instructions for upgrading a J1.5 site from DT Register 2.59 to DT Register 2.71. Is this what I need to follow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHCZYDZ6nUU

I don't see anything that specifically addresses upgrading from DT Register 2.5x and I'm a little nervous.

Yes, that video will help along with the readme.txt instructions in the current package. Are you really planning to upgrade to 2.7.1? Do NOT do that. The early 2.7 releases had many issues and the migration was problematic. Don't do this migration unless you have the CURRENT version, which is 2.7.10.

Anyway... you'll need to first upgrade to 2.6.9. This is included in the 2.7 package WITH instructions for that portion of the upgrade. Then you can jump to the video and upgrade from 2.6.9 into the 2.7 series.

BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP! You're making a BIG jump so read ALL of the instructions and follow every step to make sure you make the transition correctly.

Thanks. I mistyped. My intention is to upgrade to the latest version for J1.5.
I am running 2.59 and it has worked beautifully for 2 years but I've purchased a new license solely to gain access to the newer DT Register features (specifically partial payments).

So if I understand you, I first need to upgrade to 2.6.9 and can then follow the video tutorial for upgrading to the version of DT Register. I've cloned the site with AkeebaBackup and will perform the upgrade to the clone and test.

Thanks for making great products. Looking forward to DTDonate for J1.7 and DT Register integrations with other extension.

Yes, first upgrade to 2.6.9, then you can go to 2.7.10. The latest version applies to both 1.5 and 1.7. Thanks!
