[Vtigercrm-developers] Upgrade vtiger 7.2 to PHP 8?

[Sutharsan J]

Hi

We upgraded from 6.0.0 to 7.5.0

First noted down each code level customization. No need to worry about
custom fields and workflow.

Then upgraded database using vtiger migration upgrade script

Then port upgraded database to fresh instance of 7.5 code base

This will bring all custom fields, workflow and settings.

If there are custom modules you can just move the code from /modules and
/layouts

Then manually added each code level customization one by one if any core
changes.

This will be the perfect way if you know the customization list.  You can
use meld or win merge to compare.


Thanks
Sutharsan jeganathan
