Upgrading from sweetcron

[therourke]

Great start, but a couple of points:

• Copying the old config and database files from sweetcron install doesn't work. The data inside needs to be transferred manually.
• Also, don't forget to mention that the application folder has moved.

I was having major theme problems, which were caused by some old hacks. These two hacks are really worth updating, I'm afraid I can't understand at the moment why they don't work:

1. Cumulus tag cloud : http://lifestream.anseaume.com/p/devs/ (I tried moving the cumulus files into the new directories, but looking through the code couldn't figure out why it still fails)
2. Popular tag cloud based on size : http://pastebin.com/LWLcAxfA/ (Same with this. Why won't it work anymore?)

Both these hacks contain this line: $this->sweetcron->query_items

But when it is changed to this, there are still errors: $this->lifepress->query_items

In addition to the first two points above re: transferring the old config, it's also worth explicitly mentioning the need to set $config['encryption_key'].

My theme is broken too, but that's not too surprising and it needed work anyway!

Other than that, a very smooth upgrade!

I believe I am having the same problem with the encryption key. What is this an encryption key for and how do I set it (a new one)?
