Betaversion updatefähig?/Can the beta version be updated?

Post by Flugelche »

Kann man die Betaversion schon offiziel installieren und später, wenn eine neue Version da ist, dann updaten?
Bleiben meine Bilder dann erhalten?
Danke für eure Antworten im voraus.

Can you officially install the beta version and then update it later when a new version is available?
Will my pictures be preserved?
Thanks for your answers in advance.

Hi,

mostly, this works. When you install a Beta version and then install the Stable, in 99% there is no problem. But Phoca Gallery does not install itself, it is installed by Joomla extension manager, so depends on the manager if this will be successfull.

Normally:

- when you install Beta version
- then you can install Stable over it
- while installing there are no database changes so only core files will be overwritten
- your data which are stored in database and your images which are stored in images/phocagallery folder are untouched when installing

So if everything is OK with Joomla installation, this normally works.
