[Phpwiki-talk] Upgrading from 1.0 to 1.2

[Steve W. <sw...@pa...>]

Right. It's been so long since the issue of upgrading from 1.0 to 1.1.x
came up, I'd forgotten all about the issues.

The small problem is that we renamed the page field in the database; it
was called "text" and we renamed it to "content" to get around the problem
that "text" is a keyword in most RDBMSs.

I will work on a PHP script to convert a 1.0 database to a 1.2 (read the
old one, write a new one).
