27. take stock of you add-
on requirements
• started out with near zero add-ons availabl
• many popular add-ons have been ported

28. use as opp to
streamline site
• reduce reliance on third-party add-ons
• maybe a different, native way to do the
same thing

30. upgrade directly on
server
• use a sandbox version of the site
• use version control
• use a dev server or domain

system_old

whatever
• update index.php with system directory name
• rename themes to themes_old, copy over new
themes
• set permissions
• copy over old config.php file to config/ of EE 2

45. preparing your
templates

46. move templates
• all templates in db must also be saved as
files or installer chokes
• empty template files are currently
problematic but i filed a bug

47. does EE update
templates with channel?
• yes

48. trackbacks are gone

50. No more Gallery
Module
• the site i upgraded had a gallery module. EE
2 left the database tables intact, so i could
write a custom add-on or code to use that
gallery data (or export it)
