QuateCMS version 0.3.5
(Upgrading from 0.3.4, 0.3.3, 0.3.2, 0.3.1, or 0.3 including 0.3 RC1 and 0.3 RC2)
So you want to upgrade.
Let me tell you right off, it's easy if you follow the instructions.
If something does go wrong or if you get stuck, visit the Quate forums for the QuateCMS and we'll try and help.
> Step 1 Backup the files and database of your current installation just in case.
> Step 2 Go to the admin panel, and uninstall all extensions.
If you wish, you can choose to "keep settings" when uninstalling the extensions, and it shouldn't interfere with the CMS upgrade.
> Step 3 Lock your website (go to the admin panel), so that your website will display an "under maintenance" message if visitors happen to visit it during the upgrade process.
> Step 4 If you haven't already, download the latest version of the Quate CMS.
> Step 5 Unzip the Quate CMS zip file you downloaded, and upload all the files to your server, except:
includes/config.php
includes/header.php - Don't upload this file if you changed the layout from the default.
includes/footer.php - Don't upload this file if you changed the layout from the default.
includes/style.css - Don't upload this file if you changed the layout from the default.
> Step 6 Delete the "lock" file in the upgrade folder (/upgrade), and visit upgrade folder (/upgrade) in your a browser to run the updates.
> Step 7 Your done! Update and reinstall your extensions. If you locked your website, be sure to unlock it.
Because of drastic and fantastic CMS code changes between the 0.2 and 0.3 series, we are not offering instructions for upgrading from the 0.2 series to the latest 0.3 series.
You'll have to do a fresh installation, and recreate each of your pages.
(But it's definitely worth it!)
