Simple modlike instructions for updating from phpBB2.0.8 to phpBB2.0.9

These are the Changes from phpBB 2.0.8 to phpBB 2.0.9 summed up into a little Mod. This might be very helpful if you want to update your Board and have installed a bunch of Mods. Then it's normally easier to apply the Code Changes than to install all Mods again.

When you find a 'AFTER, ADD'-Statement, the Code have to be added after the last line quoted in the 'FIND'-Statement.
When you find a 'BEFORE, ADD'-Statement, the Code have to be added before the first line quoted in the 'FIND'-Statement.
When you find a 'REPLACE WITH'-Statement, the Code quoted in the 'FIND'-Statement have to be replaced completely with the quoted Code in the 'REPLACE WITH'-Statement.
When you find a 'DELETE'-Statement, the Code have to be deleted.

After you have finished this tutorial, you have to upload the update_to_209.php file, execute it

modules.php?name=Forums&file=update_to_209

and then delete it from your webspace. The update_to_209 is located in the download at the bottom of this tutorial.
