[More] TL;DR The development of Bigace will be discontinued. Don't expect any further updates here. [Less]

When you want to migrate an existing Bigace website to a wordpress installation, there is now a tool to automate most of the work for you.

[More] supported from 2.7.2 - 2.7.5: Bigace 2.7.6 Upgrade (3.2 MB) Migration Steps This time you need to apply some manual changes to your system. Please read carefully and ask us if you need help! Database You need to apply some manual changes to your database. Please execute the following SQL statements (for example with phpMyAdmin): See http://dev.bigace.org/jira/browse/BIGACE-60: ALTER TABLE `cms_design_portlets` DROP INDEX `cms_mapping`; ALTER TABLE `cms_design_portlets` DROP PRIMARY KEY, ADD PRIMARY KEY(`cid`, `design`, `name`); ALTER TABLE `cms_design_portlets` ADD INDEX (`cid` , `design`) ; Please note, that you might need to use another database prefix. I use "cms_" here, because its the Bigace default prefix. Either check your config file or ask your administrator if you are unsure. Configuration If you see error log entry "Configuration could not be found. Package 'admin', Name 'check.csrf'", please follow this forum posting. You need to create a new configuration entry, which was able to slip through the last versions upgrade process. Changelog What happened in between: See Jira fixed issues for 2.7.6 Improved {random_image} and added Parameter $amount Fixed LinkHelper::itemUrl() call when parameter array was used Added public/system/css/links.css to demonstrate how to auto-link download links Image command now sents filename in header for client-side save dialogs Fixed setlocale problem, which did not work on all server (see forum) Improved GenericListing for easier usage (used by new SimpleAds and FAQ) Moved russian translation to plugins, instead of keeping them in the russian language pack Updated several plugins Thanks to all of you for downloading Bigace 2.7.5 more than 3000 times!  Oh, and this version is dedicated to Antonio Vivaldi, who is one of my favourite classic artist.

Heyho, as you can see, the Bigace website is completely redesigned.  I planned that for a long time now, initially I wanted to release it at the same time as Bigace 3... but I needed to bring some new ... [More] tools online before. If you have a look through the site and find anything broken or a link that is wrong, please report it here as a comment! My best wishes and a BIG THANK YOU fly out to Torsten Höltge for creating the initial design, visual elements and the new logo. Some more credits: Tango Icon Theme for providing a great set of free and scalable icons Google Webfonts for the nice typo As you will find out, the forum has the same design as the website and is now hopefully better readable one large screens. I am pllaning to change the documentation theme as well, but that might need some more days. And as the old structure was hard to maintain, I integrated the developer website and all the tools here, check out the new developer landing page. If you have a look at the page footer you will see, that this website is already running an early version of Bigace 3. I just meantion that, to let you know that the development process for v3 is still ongoing ;) Now tell me: what you think about the new design?   [Less]
