Hi henro,

I don't think that downgrading your software is the solution here buddy. I'd recommend contacting CompuCorp and asking them when a patch will be ready.

If you absolutely have your heart set on reverting then I'd suggest exporting all your data into a csv, spinning up a new install, then importing it. That's not what I recommend though - get in touch with CiviBooking's devs and ask what's up!

For many extensions, unless there are known bugs/limitations, you can edit the "info.xml" of the extension and add:

Code: [Select]
<compatibility>
    <ver>4.4</ver>
    <ver>4.5</ver>
</compatibility>

The issue tracker of CiviBooking seems to mention one issue:
https://github.com/compucorp/civibooking/issues/99

As John mentions, it's best to contact the extension authors and help push this forward.

+1 congratulations on solving your problem. I applaud your ingenuity and perseverance.
-1 unfortunately that solution doesn't help others in your same situation and ultimately doesn't help you because now you're "stuck" on an older version of the software until it becomes possible to upgrade the extension.

Note on my last comment: it was intended as friendly advice but I think the brevity (+1 -1 with not much explanation) may have leant it to misinterpretation. I've expanded it to explain better what I meant and apologize for not conveying it better originally.

I'll also add that this is only my opinion (as a core team member I love encouraging people to upgrade to the latest version) but since 4.4 does have LTS status it's perfectly legit to decide to not upgrade for a while.

That said, encouraging/assisting the extension maintainers with forward-compatibility would still be an awesome thing to do.
