### Unofficial DE Updatepack

## Information

#### Folder "full"

Contains the complete unmodified original PHP-Fusion 7.02.07 package with all patches to make it compatible with PHP-Version from 5.3 until 8.0.x Contains Locale: English, German. During installation you can choose between MySQLi and PDO for database driver.

#### Check

- Before installing the unofficial DE update pack v1.4, you should check the requirements for this version:
  - PHP 5.3.x or higher (max. 8.0.x)
  - MySQL 5.3.x or higher

#### Prepare for installation

You have to create a MySQL database. You can do this via your web-hosting control panel or phpMyAdmin. Make sure you have your mysql access details at hand including the hostname, username, password and database name as you will need to specify these during setup.

1. Before you upload the files, rename the file _config.php (located in the full folder) to config.php.

2. Upload the contents of the files folder to your web server.

3. Unless you run the unofficial DE update on a local server, in most cases you will need to CHMOD the following files and...

- ...folders to 777:
  - administration/db_backups/
  - downloads/
  - downloads/images/
  - downloads/submissions/
  - downloads/submissions/images/
  - forum/attachments/
  - ftp_upload/
  - images/
  - images/imagelist.js
  - images/articles/
  - images/avatars/
  - images/news/
  - images/news/thumbs/
  - images/news_cats/
  - images/photoalbum/
  - images/photoalbum/submissions/
  - config.php

Note: Some hosts doesn't allow CHMOD 777, in that case you can use CHMOD 755 if CHMOD 777 fails.

4. Go to your website where setup.php should start automatically. If not, you should run setup.php manually by entering your full site url followed by /setup.php. Example: http://www.yourdomain.com/setup.php.

5. Complete the setup process by following all on-screen prompts.

6. Immediately after completing the installation of PHP-Fusion you must CHMOD config.php back to 644 AND delete setup.php from your web server. Failure to do so could lead to someone else taking control of your site.

The PHPFusion Germany site is available for further questions.

#### Folder "update_only"

Contains oly the updated files. With this package you can update the PHP-Fusion version 7.0.2.07, in order to run errorfree under new PHP-versions. Simply copy the files in the package over your existing Website, and leave the folder structure as it is. The following files "config.php" need to be extended as follows:

    $db_driver = "mysqli";

Best is to add this line after the last line after the ?> add a newline an copy the code here. To use PDO the extension is as follows

    $db_driver = "pdo";

(If no adaption is made than the PDO driver is used for communication with the Database.)

#### More

- Not only the update, but also the following features are added:
  - TinyMCE v4 with Filemanager (Original before v3 whitout Filemanager)
  - Backgroudcolor changabel for the TinyMCE-Editor (Settings -> miscellaneous, Original version not possible. Update 1.1: new colorpicker)
  - SecurImage v3

Additional features omitted deliberately, to stay as close as possible to the original and main purpose to be as error correction.
