Default Upgrading from V3.0.x to V3.1 please read. - 05-16-2006, 10:12 AM

I have noticed that a good share of the problems and questions posted lately are a direct result of upgrading a V3.0.x site to a V3.1 site.

Many of the templates have changed and in turn variables have been changed, links added etc etc.

What this means is that by upgrading you will likely encounter a few problems IF you continue to use your old V3.0.xx templates.

With that in mind I highly recommend you take a few minutes and switch your site via admin to use the new V3.1 default template to make sure your site is functioning. Once convinced everything is working, then switch back to your old template. Then as you encounter errors make note of where they are and what template file is being used. Compare it to the new one and merge changes OR simply modify the new template file with the custom changes you made to the old file.

In many cases the template file wont be moded so you could just copy the new template file to your old template folder to get its functionality.
