[TUT] How to update your plugins to 1.6
If you've just updated your forum to 1.6, from say 1.4 and now none of your plugins work, the first question you should of asked yourself is compatibility.
Are my plugins compatible?
If they're not, there's two options.
- Sit around and wait for the author to update them.
- Do it yourself.
Here's how to do it yourself. You should have a back up of your plugin(s) if you don't, start backing up!
To get them, go to inc/plugins and they should be located there.
Open the .php file up and search for;
PHP Code:
"compatibility" => "14*",
When you find it, change it to
PHP Code:
"compatibility" => "16*",
If it's not there, or if it says '*' then should *should* be ok.
This method will only work for simple plugins, if you're having problems post in this thread or go here;

Worth noting that some plug-ins might be left behind for a reason. They might not be compatible with 1.6, or there might be a 1.6 download. Give this method a go, but if things start breaking, you know what to blame :tongue.
