Hi @jascanio,
Here’s what I’d suggest:
- Back everything up
- Take a stock copy of OJS 2.2.1 and use the standard
difftool to compare it to the installation. This will help identify any modifications that have been made to the code. You’re likely to find cosmetic changes, but probably not anything too much deeper than that. - Get a fresh copy of the latest stable release of OJS. Use this to run a “full package” style upgrade (described in
docs/UPGRADE). - Re-apply the changes you identifiedusing
diff. These will likely require some work, because the upgrade is so significant.
The big question is whether the database upgrade process works smoothly, since the upgrade is such a big step. It most likely will, but if you do get an error message, post it here and I’ll see if I can help. If the data upgrades successfully, you should have a working journal site on the new code and you’ll just have to worry about matching the costmetic changes to the layout.
