Update from V1.x (x = 1..4) to V1.5 and higher

MailBeez is easy to install & upgrade and works fine (spent a lot of time testing this and making it easy) on all supported engines.

If you are having issues with MailBeez V1.5 after upgrading, please check the following:

It is a good idea to note your personal settings per module and backup your files. The update affects only MailBeez-Files - and the database_tables.php files in admin and catalog.

You REALLY need to uninstall all modules (incl. Mailhive - the first one) with the "remove" button on each module.
(or run

DELETE FROM `configuration` WHERE `configuration_key` LIKE 'MAILBEEZ_%'
in you phpMyAdmin to remove all MailBeez settings - tracking-data will be not affected as they are in their own table)


You REALLY need to copy all new files and folders to your system.

There has been major changes and a manual file-by-file update would be to complex. make sure to back-up your .tpl-files of the Birthday-Module (the only module where you would like to make changes included in the package) and your common html-template. (or write-protect them in the mailhive-folder)

it is also possible to rename the mailhive-folder in e.g. mailhive_v1.x and than copy the new packages in your system.
You just need to copy or move your existing mailbeez-modules into the actual mailhive-folder.

Remember to update your catalog/mailhive.php file and catalog/admin/mailbeez.php as well.

now you are ready to install MailBeez V1.5 - a new table "mailbeez_block" will be created.


After the update your "secret URL" has changed - you need to have the same "secret" in your mailbeez-system and your Cron-job url

* Copy the "secret" from your Cron-URL into the MailBeez-configuration

OR

* Adopt the CronJob to use the new "secret" as generated by Mailbeez


If you still have trouble (?!), please use this support forum.
