Hi,
I need to upgrade from JomSocial 2.6.2 to latest possible one (currently on latest Joomla 2.5.28, last of this branch).
I have found the following address, with information regarding upgrading old versions:
documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Main_Page
and there is a page to old version to upgrading step by step, but I get a 404
www.jomsocial.com/download-old (Error 404)
Where do I find older JomSocial versions to upgrade step by step? or is there another way?
I have many custom fields in current JomSocial to be upgraded to current version.
Thanks for help!

Hi Robert,

I see.. I will ask our admin to check the older version url

anyway, actually you can update to the latest version directly and then you apply the database patch manually.. here is the patch file www.dropbox.com/sh/zln48nosnc25l1l/AAAUw...XUBwmenUeDspnIa?dl=0

thank you

Thank you for this info..
I am a bit of a novice in manual database patching.. are there any useful pages describing such a procedure?
Thanks!

Hi,
I now found the following information:
documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Update_With_Patch_Files
But I am having doubts how to proceed correctly. You wrote "actually you can update to the latest version directly"! Does that mean I download the very latest version 3.2.15 and install it with the extension manager and then I apply the patch for 2.6.2 ?
OR do I update/patch as stated in documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Update_With_Patch_Files ? if yes, which one do I use then, patch upgrade 3.2 ? (or step by step, one patch after the other?)

Sorry, but it is somewhat confusing to me and I want to do it right, not to loose all the hard work I did with the custom fields (I do have backups, of course :)
Thanks for help!

I urgently need a repy on this issue!
Is there some sort of support I can call ? I am willing to pay more money, next to the subscription I paid for already for a few years now.
Thanks!
