Migration SyndeoCMS 2.6 -> 2.7
Migration information
 
Important:
  • The new album module ONLY supports pictures files (JPG, PNG and GIF) so if you have other files types (doc etc) in your album now, please move them to the up/download module before you start the migration.

    The files are not deleted by the migration from the server but they will not be visible via the new album!

  • If you made changes to the language files via the translate tool, you need to load every changed language file in the translate tool and press save. By pressing save the newly introduced language items will be added to your XX_user.php file.
  • If you want to use the new feature to change CSS for modules (introduced in version 2.5) (with the module manager) you will need to add following code at the top in your main.inc.php of your template and just after the inclusion of your normal CSS stylesheet file:
    <?php
    //see if there is module loaded and get its CSS definition from modules table.
    include($cmsdir."/core/css.php");
    ?>
    
    For more information see our: manual.
  • Create a directory called video in the media directory, if you do it via ftp take care it has the right write rights. This directory is used by the new viseo module.
Migration:
With almost every new version mysql tables are added or altered, to migrate from version SyndeoCMS 2.6.01 to SyndeoCMS 2.7.00 :
run migrate2.6_2.7.php

The migration script is in the 2.7.00 zip file in the starnet/install directory.

Unpacking:
on linux:
unzip syndeocms-version.zip

on windows:
Use a tool like Winzip to unzip the files from syndeocms-version.zip.
If you have your site hosted at a provider you have to ftp the unziped files to your service provider.

After the files have been installed you need to run the appropriate migration file.

When migration is finished, all files should be deleted from the starnet/install directory.

Good luck with SyndeoCMS
