cool…maybe its time for my store to take the plunge…

:wink: :wink:

Whew, it took me about 3 hours, but I just managed to implement the new service pack and re-install all my mods.



For those of you who think doing it manually would take too long… it didn’t.

It took me about 1 hour or less to update manually and 2 hours re-installing my mods.



But before installing manually, I recommend using a test/local server (screams “WampServer”) and installing it into a new directory (for testing). Then when all is working, move everything to the live directory.



Also download and run the sql file inside the update in the filearea. You can use the same database. It would actually save you time when re-installing mods.

Hi ALL



I am new to the upgrading, if I simply select upgrade do I lose all my changes that I have made?



I realise I need to back up etc, but am not sure if .tpl changes get lost in the upgrade?

CMS will be totally rewritten in new version, so we “patched” the problem quickly in this service pack.

[quote name=‘snorocket’]about 50+ bug fixes…[/QUOTE]



And -30% database queries :slight_smile:

I have 1.3.5.sp2 test install. No products present. only contains traslation strings etc.



and I want to exttract traslated language strings to import new fresh 1.3.5 sp3 install. How is the way.?



All DB backup from old to restore new not good way. becouse errors occured. “Langs Tables” and “lang values” backup and restore is not good way Also.



To update via store manager I dont like. and doesnt work my local FTP server. some ftp commands unknown by my ftp Server… Installations are only in my local computer.



Summary, I need extract translated only strings from 1.3.5.sp2 and restore to 1.3.5.sp3

hi guys i’m new to cs-cart , is there a way of working for the upgrade…

(steps to follow) or is it just run sql query=>upload files, run upgrade file?



Or is it doable via the back-end?

Is there a way for me to check which version of CS-Cart I have installed. I did the upgrade on my local computer, but it could not create directory for backup. I also ran the database file. However, I’m not sure that it really worked, as all my mods are still working just fine.



Is there a way to know for sure? Anyone else have problem with using the store manager on localhost to upgrade?

[quote name=‘zeke’]CMS will be totally rewritten in new version, so we “patched” the problem quickly in this service pack.[/QUOTE]



when we can expect new version to came out? i just want to see if there is need for me to install that service pack when new version will be coming in 2-3 months later.
