<a name="upgrade">
<h3>Upgrade from existing phpBB 2.0.XX</h3>
</a>
<ol>
<li>If you are already using Mods in your Forums that required Database
Changes, you may have problems installing this version. The included Database
Update tool only creates fresh tables for the Mods and does NOT update any
existing MODs you are using to the latest version. So what does that mean ? If
you are running a phpBB 2.0.8-2.0.21 with for example SmartorAlbum 2.0.42 or Lower
you first have to update your Database to the Album v2.0.53 that is
included in phpBB2 plus. Check the Mods List at the beginning of this readme
file for information on the
versions that are used in phpBB2 plus. If you have no Mods in your Forum that
required Database Changes, then just ignore this and go on to step 2.
<li><font color="#FF0000">Backup all your Data ! All Files from your FTP and

<h3>Upgrade from existing phpBB2 Plus 1.51 or lower</h3>
</a>
phpBB2.de will not support phpBB2 Plus versions lower then phpBB2 Plus 1.52. If you want to use phpBB2
plus 1.53 you first have to upgrade your Plus Forum to a Plus 1.52 which can be
found at <a href="http://www.phpbb2.de">www.phpbb2.de</a>. Download the package and
follow the instructions in the included /docs/install.html. If the upgrade to
phpBB2 Plus 1.52 was successful and your Forum is running you can do the
installation of phpBB2 plus as described <a href="#upgrade">In the last Chapter</a>

<p>Go to Admin Panel into <i>Plus -> Configuration</i> and set the <b>Contact EMail

will never receive any EMail through your Contact Form.</p>
<p>Go to Admin Panel into <i>Group Admin -> Color Groups</i> and set up your
Color Groups and Members. For example if you are the Board Administrator you
should put your Username to the Administrators Group otherwise your Color in the

<a name="faq"><h3>Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)</h3></a>
<b>Can i use my own template?</b>
<br>
Yes you can, but all Mods that are used in phpBB2 plus require some changes in
your template files to be compatible with Plus 1.53. You can have a look at the included Mods List which
can be found at the beginning of this document. You need these Mods and the
installationl instructions included in them to make the template files (*.tpl or
*cfg) changes. DO NOT make any changes
to the *.php Files !!! Only change the Template Files !!! If you did everything
successfully, you can submit you new template to phpbb2.de so that other Users could
benefit from it.<p>
<b>Why isn't MOD x or y in this package?</b>
<br>
Because phpBB2.de does not want to overload this package. The included Mods will
provide a lot of additional functions that are not in phpBB 2.0.21 Standard
edition. If you want to use other Mods you can suggest a Mod in our
<a href="http://phpbb2plus.phpbb2.de" target="_blank">Forums</a>, maybe it will
be added to a future
release.<p>
<b>I need another Language than German or English, what can I do?</b>
<br>
If you need another language you have to install the standard Language File of
your Country's language from <a href="http://www.phpbb.com">www.phpbb.com</a> and
make the additional changes in the language files. Open docs/mods and look through all MODs installation
instructions and make the changes for the language files. If you want to provide your
successfully finished language package to phpbb.de, then please submit
them at
<a href="http://www.phpbb2.de">www.phpbb2.de</a><p>
