Upgrading from Tasks 1.x

If you previously used Tasks 1.x and want to upgrade your existing data to Tasks 2.x, you can do this when you first install Tasks 2.x using the Install Script.

If you did not change the database table name from the default when you installed Tasks 1.x (left it as 'tasks'), you'll want to set your $table_prefix in database.inc.php to 'nothing' like this:

$table_prefix = "";

If you used a different database table name, you'll want to rename your database table or create a new copy of your table and name it 't2_tasks' (and use the default 't2_' table prefix).

Upgrading from a previous version of Tasks 2.x

Just un-zip the new version and put it on your web server.

You will need to set your database settings in database.inc.php, then you are ready to go.

Log out of Tasks if you are still logged in, then log in again.

If the new version requires you need to run an upgrade script, you will be taken to the installer and walked through the necessary steps.

You will also need to verify and save your Server Settings and Preferences to make sure they include any new settings that have been added in the new version.
