Hi I will need to upgrade a payment module / addon but what would be the best practice to upgrade ?
We are talking about a V4.3.8 store by the way.
Hi I will need to upgrade a payment module / addon but what would be the best practice to upgrade ?
- should always uninstall the addon before installing a new version or completely delete the old files or have it overwritten by installing the new module ?
- or just upload an install the new addon and have the files be overwritten ??
- use ftp to overwrite the files ?

I will recommend you to rename the old files, so if something goes wrong you can change everything back. Then install the new add-on.

We recommend you to make backup of the current module and rename/ delete it before installation. For example, if one file was excluded from the package of the new version, it will not be deleted after installation. So it can cause problems

I get it the backup thing but how do you suppose I do this backup ? just rename the relevant directories and or rename the files affected ?
The files and filestructure of the payment module is as follows:
app/addons/paynl_addon/paynl/classes/Pay/Api/Exception.php
app/addons/paynl_addon/paynl/classes/Pay/Api/Getservice.php
app/addons/paynl_addon/paynl/classes/Pay/Api/Info.php

You can just rename the following directory

design/backend/tempaltes/views/payments/components/cc_processors/paynlview.tpl

For example, you can add .back prefix to them.
app/addons/paynl_addon.back

Why not just rename the folders Yuri ?
@eCom Labs
Why not just rename the folders Yuri ?
Because other folders contain default CS-Cart files, which will not be restored after addon installation

At any rate I upgraded the payment module but now...LOL each customer gets his or her order confirmation sent in twofold. Not at al sure why..
