Jason Jacobs Posted March 11, 2003 Share Posted March 11, 2003 Hi again. I've been looking around trying to figure out what's involved with upgrading to a newer version of OSC. As far as I can tell, the version I have, The Exchange Project Preview Release 2.1, is very outdated. The copyright is 2001. I have been noticing that a common idea is that "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." My store isn't live yet, and I haven't even really begun testing in full force, so I don't know if it's broken. :) I'm mostly curious if it would be very much worth my while to upgrade to the newest milestone, or even snapshot. Also, if I did so, how much of the customization I have done will be lost? Thanks in advance for your advice. -j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harald Ponce de Leon Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Thanks for the response. I'll lose everything, right? -j No, the installation module is also able to upgrade 2.1 databases for the 2.2(CVS) standard. Try it out on a backup of your database, and decide for yourself if you want to update to 2.2(CVS) or not :) , osCommerce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I'm only concerned with the changes I've made to the files...my main question is will I have to re-customize everything. :) -j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattice Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Yes probably. But it should be fairly easy with something like Beyond Compare or any other DIFF program. There are several but BC is the most popular (there's a free trial version at scootersoftware.com I think) Mattice "Politics is the art of preventing people from taking part in affairs which properly concern them" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
