I just upgraded my DNN instance to 4.94, and I'm currently running the Events module 3.3.08 (I know, I know, WAY TOO OLD, my bad).  I want to upgrade to the latest version.  I'm going to take a backup of DNN first, but is there a specific order I should do, is the data going to get wiped out?  I use the events module heavily, so I just want to cover the bases before upgrading.

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan,

In any case, I would recommend that you perform the update on a back-up version of your site. If this isn't possible, certainly only after you have performed a full backup.

An upgrade to the 4.x versions of the Events module is not a major affair, and removes many, many bugs. An upgrade to the 5.x versions adds new functionality, and is a mjajor update. I would recommend you only consider upgrading to 5.0.2 (which is very nearly released, and a an RC versionis available at www.dnnevents.net), not 5.0.1.

There is no trick to it, just install like any new module, and it should upgrade everything itself. If you have any problems, post back here, and we will get it resolved.

Cheers
Roger

Thanks, I'll wait for the official release of 5.0.2 and do that.  I'll grab a backup just in case and perform the upgrade tonight.  I'll report back with any issues.
