Question about upgrade

[afo]

Yes, I had already made backups. So it's not the a copy of my current installation that I run winmerge on, but a new, fresh copy of 1.3.6. Where can I get a new copy of 1.3.6?

You don't really need a copy of 1.3.6. You have one that's your current site. Mostly, you should be comparing the changes you made to override files to the new versions of those files in 1.3.7.

Ok, I'm having trouble. How am I supposed to know what is just plain code change in the new version and what is stuff that I changed? There's places where the new version has lines that the old one (1.3.6 AND 1.3.5) don't have. So if the new version has added lines the the olds don't, is that new code that is not to be deleted?

one thing i do so i know where i made changes in the files is put comments in as to what i made the change for like

/* lightbox info */

that way i know when upgrading that i added that line for lightbox... ect...

Lala_G_Clef_Jewelry has an excellent suggestion, but that's not likely to help you right now.

Concentrate on files you changed to create your template. Anything that's in 1.3.7 that's not in an earlier version should be added to your override file of the same name.

Did you add any mods? If not, there shouldn't be too much you have to do. I went from 1.2.7 to 1.3.6 and then upgraded the 1.3.6 to 1.3.7. I don't remember changing a whole lot going from 1.3.6 to 1.3.7.

Thanks for the suggestions. One more question, about my custom template, do I have to move the template folders from 1.3.6 directory to the new version's folders before I upload the new version?

Well I successfully upgraded! It wasn't as scary as I had though. Thanks for all the kind help!

I knew you were making things more complicated than necessary because I do the same thing myself. I'm glad you got it sorted.
