Guest Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Since osCommerce 2.2 is being updated on a daily basis, I'd like to get a feel for how often people really upgrade their installations to the latest. And how they manage the mods you put into your current installation. If I spend an hour updating the oscommerce templates to look and act how I want them too, is their a quick way of applying those mods to the latest snapshop without having to recode everything in by hand once I install the latest snapshot? My osCommerce store is installed in /catalog/ so I suppose I could install a newer snapshop in /catalog2/, then apply all the changes I made in /catalog/ to /catalog2/.... then cp everything from /catalog2/ to /catalog/. Is there a better way of doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Unzip just the newer files. Then, use Beyond Compare to compare those files to your files. As you update a file, be sure to update the header tag so you know what version you are current to. This can be done daily or weekly or however is convenient to you.
