how to make an update?

Components > Phoca Gallery.... scroll down and you will see a blue box saying "check for update"

If you are using RC4 I think you are ok atm, Jan is still testing RC5 i think so no bother with updating just yet......

Good Luck

thanks IrishGuru,
... ok, than I stay with RC4.
but I too want to test the usability ...
----
and: I doesn´t work realy.
"check for update" is guiding to the downloadpage, where I get the last version. But than ...?
That´s my question.

With the J! tool to install, you doesn´t get the update-option and in the PG-backend, there ist also no option to catch the file for just-updating.

The way i updated from RC4 to RC5 was the following:

1. Check for Update
2. Current Version Download
3. Phoca Gallery Component
4. Download "com_phocagallery_v3_rc5.zip"
5. Then install through extension manager

Worked fine for me

hi,

> ...

and than I choosed "upgrade".

and after these (no error), the photos in the frontend are gone.
there are empty categories ... :o
(the description is still there)

in the backend they are still there and too and in the correct cat.

I don´t know yet .... will see ...
and the "mistake" comes from the new files, because when I replay the old folders, the pics are back.

cheers, s.

so,
to solve the problem, I had to update from 4 to 5 and fill "language" on the #__phocagallery table :twisted:
