Upgrade from CFv4 to CFv5

dsimonse 02 Oct, 2017
Hi,

I read somewhere that I can run v4 and v5 in paralell - is that true?
I now have v4 of ChronoForms and ChronoConnectivity and if I install v5 of these they doesn't conflict?
I also read that one could use backup/restore to get from v4 to v5 - true for both CF and CC? And that procedure populates the DB-tables in v5?
If I do so then I'll end up with forms with the same names as v4 - no conflict?

Hi Dennis,

You can run CFv4 and CFv5 and CFv6 together with no conflicts. Same with CC.

You can backup forms from one version and restore in a later one but all that is transferred in the form HTML and the syntax for that probably won't match the new version. It may be easier to re-build.

You can use the same database tables for form data with different versions.

The form names should not conflict as the URLs are different.

Hi Bob,
That sounds great!

Hi Bob,

The CFv5 shows a restore for a v4 backup, but CCv5 only shows a restore from a v5 backup.
Issues?

Hi Dennis,

Sorry, I missed that, with CC I'm pretty certain that you have to re-build :-(
