[Solved] Update 1.21->1.3 - May I use the old themes?

[Carsten]

Hi,

when I once installed CPG 1.21 Standalone, I modified a theme so that it fits to the rest of my website.
Now, when I update to CPG 1.3 - can I still use this old 1.21 theme?

I don't want to modify an theme again at the moment, it was some annoying work for me.
Anyway - thanks to the all developers and the skilled theme designers.

no, you mustn't use cpg1.2.1 themes with cpg1.3. In the docs folder that came with your cpg1.3.0 package, there's a readme how to easily convert cpg1.2.1 themes to cpg1.3.0: Converting cpg1.2.x themes to cpg1.3.0

Thanks a lot.

By the way I found that my problem is mentioned in the documentation http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/manual.php#13.
Indeed, the link to the "theme-upgrade guide" is a dead link: http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/theme.htm.

thanks for pointing this out, I fixed the broken link.
