For joomla the upgrade process between a beta is exactly the same as:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Upgrade+Joomla+Sites+to+2.0

You should skip step 9

We are meeting some core joomla devs next week, so we hope to address this issue and make it much simpler!

Just need a little clarification on this:

Upgrading 2.0b3 to final, also should skip step 2 as well as 9?

Also will any custom data fields and forms be overwritten?

Thanks
SCott

Custom fields / forms are stored in the DB so they will not be "lost". (Of course if you've modified any templates or php files in the codebase - other than custom templates in a path separate from the civicrm files - you should copy these somewhere else so they won't be over-written.)

Regarding step 2 - I would probably do that step - but load the 2.0 stable version of the schema (civicrm/sql/civicrm.mysql) into an empty DB (I've named it civicrm20Final in example below) and then load your 2.0b3 dump to that DB. This will ensure that your DB matches the 2.0 stable schema exactly.

Code: [Select]
shell > mysql -u crm_db_username -pcrm_db_password civicrm20Final < civicrm.mysql

The only stuff I modded was the font settings for Joomla to be readable in the backend, and that's been fixed as of this release.

Anyhow I did upgrade and ignored steps 2 and 9 (after a full backup of course), everything went well and profiles and forms are good.

Thanks mate.
