Scripts needed to upgrade from 1.7.x to 1.8

1. tiki_1.7to1.8.sql - this is the main upgrade script, it can be re-run as often as needed.
   • Note: errors relating to "duplicate entry" are normal and can be safely ignored
2. comments_fix_1.7to1.8.sql - only run this once on a 1.7 database, then never again
3. structure_fix_1.7to1.8.sql - only run this once on a 1.7 database, then never again
4. tiki_1.7to1.8.sql - rerun to fix forums (can be run multiple times)

Step by step:

1. mysql -f -u dbuser -p tikidb < tiki_1.7to1.8.sql
2. mysql -f -u dbuser -p tikidb < comments_fix_1.7to1.8.sql
3. mysql -f -u dbuser -p tikidb < structure_fix_1.7to1.8.sql
4. mysql -f -u dbuser -p tikidb < tiki_1.7to1.8.sql (re-run again to fix Forums)

Congratulations!. You now have a Tiki 1.8.x format database.

You can now use the regular Upgrade instructions to take you to the latest version.
