    Default Need someone to upgrade for me and help with our custom look

    We have an old version of indexu (3.1) that has had some problems since day one.. but we really need to upgrade as it is a version from a few years ago. But we also need some help with keeping our custom look.

    Would like to get this done asap. Our indexu was set up to be tied in with our vBulletin - sharing a database.

    Please PM me your price and how experienced you are with indexu. I really need someone who knows what they are doing.

    If you could post a URL for prospective bidders they could get an idea of the amount of work required to convert the theme. Or state that a URL will be passed via PM upon request.

    Good luck with your upgrade.

    It is quite easy to do yourself. If you have cpanel then download a full backup before you proceed just in case.

    Then simply upload the files from the new version over the old files and run /install/install.php and choose upgrade from 3.x. The site will now be up and running with the new version.

    NOTE - do not overwrite key.php and application.php

    There are a lot of features that you will need to familiarize yourself with, particularly mod_rewrite (if your host supports it) which changes your links from /browse.php?id=x to /categoryname/ which can help improve search engine rankings.

    If you choose to do it yourself, myself and the rest of the community are here to help. If you'd like me to do it for you I can do it for $25 via credit card (no paypal).

    Also note that in my signature is a great manual on how to install the script. You can download, print it and follow along. It really is meant for a new installation but everything is pretty much the same until you get to the point where you would choose new installation over upgrade which is almost at the end of the whole process.

    Remember not to overwrite application.php or key.php!

    your bridge between vbulletin and indexU is the most likely thing to break - does VB use the IndexU user table? or does data get copied and you have 2 tables with the same data?
    Main IndexU sites : | Campsite Directory | Tourist Guide | Places2B | AfterDirectory <-- Half price submission using coupon DP50 (from just $11 premium, and $10 basic permanent )
