UPGRADE (v3.0 or v3.1 => v3.2 ONLY)
UPGRADE (v3.0 => v3.1 ONLY)
v4.0 sees some major changes. If you upgrade to this version you will lose any style content you edited in v3.2. Any template adjustments you made will also be lost. To upgrade to v4.0, follow these steps:

1 => Replace the following files/folders on your server. Where a folder only is shown, you should replace all files in that folder unless specified:

admin/ (Updated) - EXCEPT 'inc/password.inc.php' file. Chmod 'admin/backup/' folder to 777
classes/ (Updated)
docs/ (Updated) - Only if you wish to have the docs on your server
ftp/ (New) - Chmod to 777 to make world writeable. Rename if changed in settings.
greybox/ (New)
images/ (Updated) - EXCEPT '/banners/' folder. If you changed any images, you might want to back them up first
inc/ (Updated) - Except the 'db_connection.inc.php' file
install/ - Required for upgrading. Must be deleted again afterwards
js/ (Updated)
lang/english.php (Updated) - Language file will need translating again as many variables were changed
templates/ (Updated) - The templates are different in v4.0. E-mail templates have the links and website information automatically parsed in v4.0. If you added any other info to these templates, they will require re-editing
index.php (Updated)

2 => To modify your existing installation, access and run the following file in your browser:

http://www.yoursite.com/uploader/install/upgrade/upgrade4_0.php

3 => Thats it, all done. Check to make sure everything is working ok. You will need to go into your settings to update them as some new features appear in v4.0. If you wish to enable FTP for any members, use the FTP link when viewing the members list. See the installation docs for more info.

Paypal subscriptions start from the time you activate them. You cannot update current setups to include subscriptions from within the uploader interface. The paypal subscription option is a work in progress. If it doesn`t work how you want, revert to single payment option. See the info for the Paypal data on the installation page.

Any problems, post on the support forums.
v3.2 of Maian Uploader contains some major changes and as such is it NOT recommended you upgrade to this version if you made any major template changes with previous versions and want to keep the same layout.

This upgrade is really ONLY recommended for people who are running a pretty much untouched version of v3.0 or v3.1. ie, you made no template changes and not too many language file changes. In v3.2, a few of the lang file variables are different.

If you would like to upgrade, please follow these instructions carefully.

1 => Firstly, if you designed a new header logo, make sure you have a backup copy. If you designed any other graphics, back these up to.

2 => Open your current upload directory and add or replace the following files/folders. Where a folder ONLY is specified, replace all contents:

- admin/* (EXCEPT 'inc/password.inc.php' file)
- images/
- inc/flash_functions.php (New)
- inc/functions.php (Updated)
- inc/footer.php (Updated)
- inc/header.php (Updated)
- js/
- lang/
- templates/* ONLY .tpl.php files
- templates/email/admin_move_files.txt (New)
- index.php (Updated)

3 => Log into your web hosting control panel and access your database. In your file uploader database, run the following file:

- docs/upgrade/schematic/upgrade3-2.sql

This will make only 2 adjustments. It is important that you change the file prefix in this file before you run it if your prefix is not 'mu_'.

4 => Re-check directory permissions using the installation guide as reference.

5 => Upgrade complete! Test system and make sure new features work ok. If you are unsure of anything please let me know.
There are no database alterations with v3.1, so no need to do a backup. If you have made extensive template alterations, it might be best to contact me so you know what to add, rather than over writing the file completely.

To upgrade to v3.1 functionality from v3.0 do the following:

1 => Upload or replace (depending on if they are new files) the following files on your server:

- admin/inc/attributes.inc.php
- admin/inc/restore.inc.php
- admin/data_files/popup/attributes.php
- admin/data_files/templates.php
- admin/index.php
- classes/class_newpass.inc.php (New)
- images/newpass.gif (New)
- images/pass_sent.gif (New)
- inc/captcha/ (and all its contents) (New)
- inc/header.php
- index.php
- lang/english.php (See Below)
- templates/email/new_password.txt (New)
- templates/login.tpl.php
- templates/new_pass.tpl.php (New)
- templates/signup.tpl.php

Language File Note:

If you have changed the language file and don`t want to over write the file completely, take a look at the following file, which lists the new variables you need:

docs/setup/langupgrade/data.txt

2 => In your admin area (or manually if you wish), edit the 'templates/email/new_password.txt' file to what you want it to be, updating the path.

3 => Upgrade complete! Test system and make sure new features work ok. If you are unsure of anything, please let me now.
Hopefully this upgrade guide has made upgrading an easy process. However, if you require any help at all, please see the support options on the main page. Thank you.
