    Default upgrading from 1.3.6 to 1.3.9.h

    Hello,
    I need to upgrade my zencart from 1.3.6. to 1.3.9.h.
    Is there anything special I need to do or can I jump from the old version to the new or do i need to incrementally upgrade to versions in between?

    thanks for any help you can offer.

    Much will depend on what add-ons you are using. The more customisation involved, the more attention to detail is required.

    It's not usually a difficult procedure... just very time-consuming if you have a lot of custom stuff...

    You will (or ought to) at the very least, have a CUSTOM template.

    Bear in mind that the over-ride files in the template's folders (modules, languages and templates) will be ver 1.3.6.

    An upgrade will put 1.3.9 only in the DEFAULT (or CORE) areas.

    So your CUSTOM template folders will still have 1.3.6 "copies" of their core counterparts.

    Not ALL may need upgrading. The changelogs will show you the incremental upgrades to all files involved.

    Upgrading a CUSTOM file can only really be done "safely" by doing a file compare with Winmerge (or equivalent). These comparison programs will alert you to all differences when you match the files against each other.

    You will, of course, need at leat a rudimentary understanding of PHP, in order to determine what PART(s) of a 1.3.9 CORE file need to be inserted into or edited out of, the 1.3.6 custom counterpart file.
