CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi all,

I downloaded the upgrade to 1.0.3 which is cool, but the instructions in the handbook say to overwrite all files and folders ... won't that overwrite the modules I have installed?

thanks in advance

No, it just upgrade the 'standard' cms modules!

Ah thanks, so what I should just copy the modules that I have installed out and paste them back into the folder when I have finished the install?

thanks for your help.

No. First backup your database. This is where all your content exists (that's why it doesn't overwrite your data).

Then upload the newest release just as you did with the original install. It will overwrite the old installation but not your content. (As each box pops up asking you to overwrite, click Yes to All). Then, put your URL with /install/upgrade.php in your browser. It will take you through two screens of clicking OK and then take you right to your home page when finished.

You will need to go back and delete the install folder and re-set your config.php file to 444 again.

All should be good!

They are, at least in the current version... not familiar with the versions under 1.0, I'm quite new to cmsms... but if you have access to phpmyadmin or a similar tool, you can check it for yourself... the tables are (cms_)templates and (cms_)userplugins (at least in my version).
