Hello
I'm kind of new to CMSMS (installed 1.2.2 last year and everything works great). Now I can see, a new version is out there, 1.2.3, that fixes an sql injection. Cool, I download it, but there is no info on how to upgarde. Couldn't find anywhere such informations. So, how to do it? Yhe only info I came across is this: http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/User_Handbook/Installation/Upgrading
But I don't have any install folder. It was deleted after the first install.
Any help apreciated.

Re: How to upgrade?
Upgrading is quite easy if you simply utilize incremental update. The "diff" set of files only contain the files that have changed so a complete reinstall is unnecessary. It is simply a matter of replacing the old files in your current CMSMS installation with the changed files which are contained in the cmsmadesimple-diff-1.2.2-1.2.3.tar.gz or cmsmadesimple-diff-1.2.2-1.2.3.zip package.
1. Go to the Downloads page at http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/downloads
2. Locate the section that says "Upgrade 1.2.2 to 1.2.3:"
3. Choose one of the file packages, either the zip or tar.gz
4. Once you've downloaded the package to your computer, expand the package.
5. Once you've expanded the archive, simply ftp to your installation of CMSMS and upload the new files and directories just as they are. They will overwrite the existing "old" files. There is no actual upgrade script that needs to be run for this particular upgrade, so the lack of an Install directory is not an issue.
Hope this helps.

Re: How to upgrade?
Thank you so much. It was so simple and worked like a charm. Everything is simple with CMSMS. 
I have though a suggestion (to prevent idiots like me posting in the forum): in the future releases/upgrades, you (the good folks of CMSMS) might consider a small txt file inside the package, with a short explanation for the release on how to install the upgrade.

Re: How to upgrade?
Well, actually, it is in the Documentation already...
Which can be found here... http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... /UpgradingIf there is a patch upgrade available (e.g. from 1.0.5 to 1.0.6), copy the archive into your cmsms home directory and unpack it there. It will unpack the changed files directly into their proper locations and not into a folder. There may not be an install script to run.
