Old documentation: Version 2

Many of the configuration options have changed from version 2 to version 3, and are not backward compatible. The table below lists version 2 configuration items that have been removed and the version 3 items you should copy their settings to. In most cases, only the name has changed. Some of the default values have changed, so even if you haven't changed the defaults, you may need to make some changes to achieve the same appearance.

If you have many newsfeeds to upgrade, we recommend keeping your old version of CaRP and installing the new one in a different location so that you can switch your newsfeeds once at a time. To switch each newsfeed, you would then need to fix any configuration settings that may need to change and then change the path to CaRP in your "require_once '/path/to/carp.php';" line to point to version 3. Note that since carp.php expects to find a file named carpinc.php in the same directory, you cannot simply change the names of the files and keep them in the same directory as your old version unless you modify carp.php to look for a different filename.
