question about xf 2.1 upgrade

[moshbit]

Hey @Xon I was just wondering if it would be possible or adviseable to disable the content ratings addon (not uninstall) and then re-enable/upgrade it when the xf 2.1 version comes out?

i'm trying to determine if i can upgrade my board to xf 2.1 without losing data from the content ratings addon. i don't mind having it disabled until the xf 2.1 version comes out if it'll sync with the default xf 2.1 ratings/reactions. i'd just like to get all the other stuff done with upgrading to xf 2.1 while im waiting for the xf 2.1 version of content ratings to come out.

thanks!

Yes it is possible. Make sure you update to the latest Content Rating 1.4.x (before upgrading to XF3.1), then you'll need something like AndyB's "reaction rebuild", I only have an XF2.0 compatible version of that sorry

There are some cleanup SQL queries;

delete from xf_news_feed where content_type = 'post' and action = 'rating';
delete from xf_news_feed where content_type = 'profile_post' and action = 'rating';
delete from xf_news_feed where content_type = 'profile_post_comment' and action = 'rating';

Once a XF2.1 capable version comes out, installing/upgrading that will be enough

Hi @Xon

Will the new 2.1 version still be able to import from the Post Ratings add-on?

I'm still running xenforo 1.5 but upgrading straight to 2.1 soon. So I was going to disable Luke's Post Ratings add-on and then (hopefully) use yours and import all the data when the Content Ratings 2.1 version is out.

Yes, it will retain the ability to import from XF1 Post Ratings.
