Stickies for obvious questions.

Post by RocTx »

Perhaps creating a sticky at the top section of the forum for most obvious questions would help.
Example:
Sticky - How to Install
- How to Upgrade

That way one does not spend so much time searching and asking and waiting. That would make it a quick way to find out how to "Update" an existing component (Phoca Download) to the latest release and not make any mistakes and destroy the database structure.

Example:
How to Install: 1)Login to Joomla Administration backend.
2) Select Install/Uninstall
3) Browse to component
4) Click Upload/Install

How to Upgrade: Instructions on how to upgrade and anything we should be aware of or lookout for.

At this point I "think" I understand NOT to uninstall the component, but to do a regular install over the old release and then select upgrade? But where will this "Upgrade" button appear in the processs. I need to upgrade from 1.2.2 to the latest release. Will installing over the old release upgrade it without any issues? Will the database structure be corrupt because of the difference is versions? BTW.. I do have a backup so that is not an issue. I just would hate to have to go back and use them (time).

Thankyou,
RocTx

Hi, the problem is a time, I am still asking for help with creating documentation but there is nobody, I am really overloaded with creating the extensions for Joomla! 1.6 and would like to have complete documentation but there is nobody to help in this area :-(

Install:

Upgrade (can be taken by Phoca Gallery because it is in fact the same):
