Upgrade concerns from 0.7 - 0.8.1

Hi,

I just finished uploading and configuring 0.7.x before Xmas and have come back to find that you're at 0.8.1.

If I upload the upgrade in place won't I be overwriting my config file, plugin mods, CSS, uploaded files, WYSIWIG, users and permissions etc.??

Sorry if all this has been covered but I couldn't find it and I wanted to be safe rather than sorry. Please feel free to PM if these are all daft concerns.

Also, what are the chances of being able to create a separate upload package for future upgrades that just includes the changed files and any SQL that needs to be run?

There shouldn't be any concerns... CMS is designed to be (somewhat) seemlessly upgraded. Almost everything is stored in the database, which has the ability to be upgraded easily.

Pretty much just copy the new 0.8.1 overtop of your 0.7.x and point the browser to /install/upgrade.php.

The ONLY thing that's not quite automated about the upgrade is that you will have to install the WYSIWYG from the plugins menu (click install next to TinyMCE), and then set TinyMCE to be your WYSIWYG in the User Preferences.

Everything else will be intact (even config.php)

You're a goddam legend, Wishy! Couldn't be easier.

I like the the swap to tinyMCE as well. It's great being able to apply styles directly even if they don't get updated in the textarea window.

Now all you need is a chioce of pretty templates for different layout options...just for us lazy types you understand.

Oh yeah, I understand. I'm one of those types myself...

A little off topic so feel free to move this but TinyMCE is removing the class code I'm adding to tags both via the HTML window and the styles drop-down box.

An example follows where the class tag is stripped:

List element

I've checked the Moxiecode site but - apart from tinyMCE's ability to "block invalid elements and force attributes" - I couldn't find anything.

Retraction
I just found this in the bug track on tinyMCE's sourceforge page:

I've experienced something similar in IE 6. Sometimes the
content css isn't loaded. This behaviour seems to be
completely random, sometimes it works and sometimes not.
Perhaps a problem when the css isn't loaded in time? Maybe
some onload-check that don't work anymore. Same thing with
existing styles in the content, they usually get removed when
the page loads now.

It still doesn't help but at least I'm not alone.

Is there a simple way to have it NOT check any code that gets pasted into the window?

1.40 was just released which apparently has many bug fixes. Can I just download this and replace the current directory, or did you make a few mods to the editor?
