Upgrading from FB2.x

Here are some tips/tricks I collected while upgrading my site from Folderblog 2.x to 3.x. These are just the ones I remembered to share and I'm sure there are a few others. So, please, if you have any additional caveats, feel free to add them to this page.

Tag Name Changes from 2.x to 3.x:

• Your Blog Title is now <#fbblogtitle#>, not <#fbtitle#>


• <#fbdate#> is now used for the date exclusivley. If you were using it to store Image titles, use <#fbtitle#> instead.


• Here's a list of all the new tags.

Changes on MAIN template:

• Remove the old post form from your MAIN template. This is now replaced by the <#fbpostform#> tag.

Changes on COMMENTS template:

• Be sure to add a new form element for commenter's Email, <#fbemailval#>

Changes on ARCHIVES template:

• Remove all references to <#fbcells#>, etc.. This is all included in the single <#fbmenu#> tag. Layout control for <#fbmenu#> is configured through fb_settings.php and your stylesheet.

Blanket changes:

• If you had hardcoded your archives link anywhere in your templates, this should be replaced by <#fbarchiveslink#>
