How to upgrade?

I need to know how I upgrade my cart to 1.3.5 without causing problems with the modules I currently have installed. I just got most of the items working, and I really don't want to have to reinstall all of them.

Re: How to upgrade?

We need a little more information to be helpful.
What version are you currently using?
What mods are in place on your current version?

Generally, mods don't touch core files. I'd suggest setting up a new directory and database, load all the mods you currently use, then upgrade the database.

WinMerge could be very useful for you as well.

What? No user tracking? No Image Handler? No Easy Populate? :D

Re: How to upgrade?

Last upgrade blew out my logo change I did and a few other things. I had no sooner finished getting everything right when this upgrade came out. I am fairly new so be gentle :lamo:

Re: How to upgrade?

Colleen,
Your first step needs to be to apply any security patches to the current site.
Next, go to http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/index.html and enter your URL there. Security is number one but NO ONE is going to be able to get to your site until you fix the graphics.:eek:

Just one of your graphics is over 460K. I'm not sure that image handler could help. Drop the dpi down and try http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/imageoptimizer/ after you get the images under 300K.

Then, and only then, would I consider upgrading if I were you.
