Simple upgrade

[DrByte]

Did you ever look at the upgrade documentation?
It's included in the /docs/ folder of your Zen Cart files.

Additionally, it's in the FAQ area as well: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=98

You need to merge all the new files with your customizations in order to incorporate new things and bug fixes into any files you altered.

Yes I did and that didn't work for me either. I think I had 3 directories at one time but nothing seemed to work on that round.

So here is where I'm at as of last nite.
I'm now at 1.3.8a with an upgraded database that has and shows my 2100 items.
I ended up installing 1.3.8a from scratch and then just doing the upgrade on the database.
All I have left to do is the cosmetic stuff like changing the messages again but I can live with that.
Next will be to figure out the override system so I don't have to go through this on future updates.

How do I enable the phpBB that I installed? I don't see any links for it in the store?

Thanks again for all the help.

Did you go into the admin and pick your template from the pull down menu under tools->template selection?

If you don't see it in the pull down menu, make certain you have includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/template_info.php.

I just tried that.
I see the templates but when I try to preview it I get a 404 file not found error, I guess because the screenshot of that color scheme is missing.
So I tried the Edit button, picked my design and low and behold my site came up. Only problem is, the color scheme is WAY off and the site now fills the entire screen without any side boxes.
So I guess I'm on the right track but need to find out what files I'm missing from my custom directory.

Thanks so far.

When you pick your template, you have to go to Admin/Tools/Layout Boxes
Controller and hit the reset button to turn the sideboxes on.

Thanks, that did the trick.
I'm getting a lot closer now.

When you change templates, you have to set/reset the sideboxes manually in the admin.



I should really read the next page before posting.
