Easy Upgrading to Pappalapapp 0.5

Since there are loads of changes in 0.5 an upgrade will not work just "out of the box".

Templates

You need at least one template. If you want similar output as in version 0.3 use "simple_en".

Edit the config section in pappalapapp.pl

It's now at the top of the file. Use the same $data_dir as in the old one, and don't forget the new $template_dir!

New config file

You need a new "config.txt" file in your data-dir.

If your groups.txt looks like this:

Guestbook|guestbook.txt
Test|test.txt

then your config.txt should be:

BOARD | Guestbook | Guestbook | guestbook.txt
BOARD | Test      | Test      | test.txt
TMPL  | default   | simple_en | /pappalapapp/templates/simple_en/

Define a "default" template! Then you don't need to add a "template=" option

The old "groups.txt" is no longer used and can be deleted.

finished

That's it!

The format of the data-files was not changed.

The script still accepts the "grp=" option to stay compatible, so you don't need to change links or ssi-calls
