We are very pleased to announce the availability of the Portal XL 5.0 ~ Premod 0.4 for phpBB 3.0.10.

This version can be used to create Portal XL 5.0 Premod along a up and running plain/clean phpBB 3.0.10 or for upgrading your Portal XL 5.0 ~ Plain 0.2 to this release. This version contains pre-modified phpBB 3.0.10 files including Portal XL 5.0 and several other third party modifications.

Portal XL 5.0 ~ Premod 0.4 is meant to work with phpBB 3.0.10!
All users are encouraged to upgrade to this version of Portal XL 5.0 ~ Premod 0.4.

Note: This version can be beast and might be a big challenge for unexpired users. Be prepared!

ATTENTION: Have a recent backup of forum and database before starting any action!

Again a lot of work is done to deliver a high standard Portal XL 5.0 Premod. Special thanks to our staff members for their faithful services! Thank you guys and dolls for all your help on another great release of Portal XL 5.0 Premod!

Changed in Portal XL 5.0 ~ Premod 0.4:

• Public Release along phpBB 3.0.10

• Portal XL 5.0 ~ Premod 0.4 represented on SourceForge

Due to outdated code, former Portal XL 5.0 Premod versions are not supported any longer. There is no converter 4.0 Premod >> 5.0 Premod available. We are unable to support custom changes, as we are unable to know what is changed to default code of our mod.

Portal XL 5.0 ~ Premod 0.4 Installation Guide:

• Quick install

• New installation

• Upgrade a former release of Portal XL 5.0 ~ Plain/Premod 0.2

Please ensure you read the enclosed PORTAL_XL_INSTALL.html document before proceeding with installation or updates!

Documents above can be found in directory /docs/ of the package.

Available packages:
With this release, there are two packages available. Portal XL 5.0 ~ Plain 0.2 and Portal XL 5.0 ~ Premod 0.4. Select whichever package is most suitable for you. Do not mix up both of our portal versions as you can expect really strange errors! Change from one version to the other is only possible if the original installer is used to remove all database entries of Portal XL.

Use of a reliable FTP software is recommended. If you're using Firefox install the Add-On FireFTP for reliable FTP transfers. Visit our style Demo / Download for Portal XL 5.0 ~ Premod aware styles.

Have fun with Portal XL 5.0 ~ Premod 0.4 ~ Your insane crazy portal system for phpBB 3.0.10.

Changed files for a existing PortalXL 5.0 Premod 04/3.0.9 to update to 3.0.10.

To update simply unpack the archive and copy/upload all files in place.
When done browse to directory /install/ and call file database_update.php
When ready, remove directory /install/.

Refresh all caches!

Attention! If your PortalXL 5.0 Premod 04/3.0.9 is modified by custom changes use this package for comparing your modified files only.

[HELP] Emergency database update/installation.

Assuming the files are on your server already.
In case you are unable to update to this version the emergency procedure will be to start the installation script and choose tab "REMOVE PORTAL" to remove the portal completely from database first.

Start a fresh database installation choosing tab "INSTALL BASIC" after and follow up the procedures exactly. If the additional external mods (Arcade, Gallery, ShoutBox, KnowledgeBase and GymSitemaps) installed already pass those steps/tab.

Forum files will stay untouched.

Note: our internal chat box is official on version 1.5.0. Due to major changes for that version I decided not to update the Breizh Shoutbox any longer. Version 1.4.0 which we have in use works like a charm.

If the version update in ACP - SHOUTBOX is annoying you, go to ACP - SYSTEM - Module Management - Administration Control Panel - Shoutbox - Generals and disable Version Checker.
