Update/Install wizard needs help

[johnjamesjacoby]

The current update/install wizard employs a bunch of custom duplicated functions and weird hacks to pull off what is otherwise a straight forward bunch of settings pages. The forums settings page is also completely missing from the wizard.

I see a few steps here:

• Clean up all this code, get rid of purpose built functions, etc...
• Move some of the core css, js, and images into the /admin folder so it's clear what does what
• Get the wizard to use the actual settings pages from the settings API instead of the hard coded pages it uses now
• Incorporate the new forums setup for bbPress 2
• Try not to break everything in the process

(In [5749]) First pass at refactoring update/install wizard to remove code duplication:

• Rename and move admin images, css, and js into bp-core/admin/ folders
• Load the wizard from inside BP_Admin instead of selectively alone, so that basic functions are available
• Properly enqueue admin scripts
• Remove duplicated _update_ functions in bp-core-updater.php
• Remove weird redirect hack as it's no longer needed
• Remove purpose built functions that are no longer needed
• See #4005.
• Indirectly fixes #3964.

(In [6105]) Update the updater to better handle switching from BP 1.5 to 1.6. See #4005.
Fixes a problem where after completing the DB update screen, all of the 'new
install' tabs were shown instead only the tabs relevant to the update.

Let's call a halt to general cleanup for this cycle, and reassess for 1.7. If you find outright bugs that should be fixed for 1.6, please open a separate ticket.

We completely removed the wizard in 1.7, so closing as fixed.
