How to upgrade Land Down Under from version 602 to version 604.
Upgrades from older versions arn't covered by this document.
  • 1 - MySQL database upgrade
     
    A full backup of the database is highly recommended just before the upgrade !
     
    Then run /docs/ldu-upgrade-602-to-604.sql with phpMyAdmin to update the database to the very latest version.
     

  • 2 - Main files
     
    Replace all system files :
     
    /*.php (all files in the root)
    /system/*.*
    /system/core/*.* <-- NEW !
     
    Replace the standard plugins with the newest versions only if you're concerned about XHTML compliancy, else skip this step :
     
    /plugins/standard/*.* (and all sub-folders)
     
    You do NOT need to upload a new skin, your "old" one will still work fine.
    You do NOT need to replace files in /datas/, apart if asked later in this manual.
    You do NOT need to replace the images in the /system/img/ folder, no changes.
     

  • 3 - Skins
     
    *** Copy/paste the new arrow for unread posts in forums, from /skins/era/img/system/arrow-unread.gif to your own skin folder.
     
    *** In footer.tpl, right after :
     
    {FOOTER_BOTTOMLINE}
     
    Add (optional) :
     
    <br />{FOOTER_CREATIONTIME} <br />{FOOTER_SQLSTATISTICS}
     
    *** If you're owner of a copyright removal or a commercial licence, go in the Administration panel > Configuration > Global, and for the entry "Keep the copyright notice in the tag {FOOTER_BOTTOMLINE}", set "No".
     
    *** Note that if you're NOT owner of a copyright removal or a commercial licence and for some reason there's no link "Powered by LDU" in your skin, to respect the licence agreement for non-profit users you have to put the tag {PHP.ldu_copyright} somewhere in footer.tpl or header.tpl
    Recommended location : In footer.tpl near the tag {FOOTER_BOTTOMLINE}.
     
    *** There some new tags available for your skin(s), see the LDU Online Manual, section "Tags headquarters".
     
    *** v602 skins will work fine under v603.
