Both issues you mention, Backlinks and PageActions, are related to the
old use of {$Variable} instead of currently {*$Variable}, see the page
"Upgrades":
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Upgrades
(section starting with "Version 2.2.10")
The page "Upgrades" contains the most important changes that may require
some admins to do something on their wiki when upgrading. You should
read that page when you upgrade (or when you import pages or whole
groups from old wikis). There may be other changes that concern you on
that page.
These and other important changes, most of which should not require an
action from you on upgrade, are in the Release notes, it is also a good
idea to read the release notes between your previous version and the one
you're installing:

Thank you Petko, This has worked out well, though I did manually
install so
not sure what moving pages have or have not been updated. Will return
to
the rss / feed issue later, as it involves a number of pages.
I changed the skin for all but one wikigroup to Triad, but there are
two
issues:
1) I have a "backlinks" link at the top of the sidebar, which used to
act
on the page viewed, not the sidebar, but in this skin it acts on the
sidebar (giving me backlinks to the sidebar, not the page being
viewed).
I'm guessing this is because of how Triad handles sidebars. In any
event,
is there an easy way to modify this code to point to the page viewed
rather
than the sidebar in which the code is placed?
[[{$Name}?action=search&q=link={$FullName}+list=all | $[Backlinks]]]
That's on the sidebar at
http://www.bisharat.net/wikidoc/pmwiki.php/PanAfrLoc/
2) In the one wikigroup where I did not change the skin, the "edit" and
other tabs point not to the page viewed but always to Site/PageActions.
I
think this is a problem with older skins using the latest PmWiki
upgrade -
I also noted it in the old skin for the rest of the wiki before
switching
to Triad. Am hoping there is a relatively easy fix to the skin to
correct
this.

By way of background, this is an effort to resurrect a wiki that was
part
of two successive projects (2005-11), but which went offline when the
second project's funding ended and site closed.
All the best,

Thank you Petko. I had gone about this backwards it seems. All
working
now.
One question - the new version does not include rss.php in the
scripts
folder, but when I took it out of my installation, the wikipages had
error
messages at top indicating this file was not found. I simply re-added
it,
which seems to have solved that issue, but wondered if there is
another
way
I should have addressed this or any longer term issues with rss.php.
The new core file with RSS functions is scripts/feeds.php. See this
page:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/WebFeeds
My advice is to disable rss.php which is no longer supported and use
feeds.php.
Next task is more complex - I have an old installation - 2.0 - on
another
site and need to either update it or simply remove it (the wiki
contents
are obsolete) and install new. The object will be to receive contents
of
another wiki of about the same generation that went offline when the
host
site went offline (complicated story, but it boils down to funding
ending
for the project that sponsored it).
I'm tempted just to start fresh with a new installation and hope the
wiki-d
files work.
Yes, this would be my way to do it.
Or would it make more sense to import wiki.d, config, and skin,
and then do an update from 2.0? Any advice or experience of others
would be appreciated.
Have backups in case something breaks.
I'd fresh install the latest version of PmWiki and the wiki.d pages.
On the first run, PmWiki will likely prompt you to accept some updates
(moving pages) -- accept them. See what works, what doesn't -- read
Upgrades and ReleaseNotes. Get the latest versions of all
recipes/skins you
used and enable them one after another to see if there are warnings or
errors. Your original skin might still work, or you may have to add
some
markers in it like <!--HTMLHeader-->; if you cannot make the old skin
work,
maybe try another skin.
If you have any difficulty, tell us and we'll help you.
