Upgrading from 0.4 to 0.5
Before you start the upgrade process please take a full backup of both your website files and also your database. Please also take your site offline by replacing the index.php file with a static one.
Step 1: Update Files
Replace the files in the following folders with the newly downloaded versions.
- assets
- modules
- system
Note: If you have any custom developed files in these folders please make copies of them first. This may include customer user authentication and custom website preference forms.
Step 2: Upgrade the database
Due to some changes between this version and the last you will needs to run some queries on your database. Run the following queries seperatly on the database containing your BackendPro data
INSERT INTO `be_preferences` (`name` ,`value`)VALUES ('login_field', 'email');
Step 3: File System Changes
In this upgrade several files have been moved around so the old files can be removed. Details of changes are listed below:
- Dashboard Files - The dashboard files have now been moved to their own module. This is to tidy up their file structure. This means system/application/libraries/Dashboard.php, system/application/languages/english/dashboard_dashboard.php and system/application/views/admin/dashboard/statistics.php can be removed. If you have made any changes to these files you will want to relocate them to their new respective files in modules/dashboard/.
Step 4: Update your user guide
Please replace your local copy of the user guide with the new version, including the image files.
