3.0.0 Final Upgrade

Upgrading and Installing note: As with any change to files on your server you should always make a backup of any files that will be modified or removed. It would also be good practice to make a backup of your database.

Upgrading to Fusion Registry v3.0.0 Final
These instructions are for upgrading an existing Garage Module or Fusion Registry installation.

The new upgrader system will make your upgrade nice and easy. If you are upgrading from Garage Module I can not stress enough to make a backup of your database and files, including your uploads!

Let me say that again, as the warning above states please start by making a backup of all your files and database just incase ;)

A reasonable effort has been made to ensure your upgrade goes smoothly but there are always possibilities of running into a problem as this is a new upgrade system. If you do not feel comfortable doing the upgrade yourself you can have Fusion Scripts do the upgrade (see the options available at checkout time for installation and upgrade services).

There are no code edits required for Fusion Registry to run, so you can start by removing any and all edits to your source files for the older versions of the Garage Module.

If you are going to be installing the Zend version of Fusion Registry instead of the ionCube version you may also delete the 'ioncube' directory that contains the ionCube loader files as it is no longer required. If you are going to use the ionCube version YOU MUST upgrade to the latest version of the ionCube loaders available here: http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php

In your ACP -> Look & Feel -> Skin Manager, ensure your custom skin does not have a link to the Garage Module in your board header. This link will be added automatically by the Components system. Edit the following Template Bit to check "All Glocal HTML" -> "global_board_header". If you find this line, remove it:

<a href='{ipb.script_url}act=garage'>Garage</a>


Also in the Skin Manager remove or hide the previous Garage Module skin set.

Once you have completed all the above clean up work, proceed to the installation instructions and follow the same steps as if your were installing Fusion Registry from scratch.

!!! IMPORTANT -- FOR STEP 2 INSTEAD OF RUNNING THE INSTALLER, RUN THE UPGRADER !!!


To complete the upgrade point your browser to one of the following URLs:

If you are upgrading the IPB 2.0.x version point your internet browser to:

http://yourdomain.com/forum/modules/registry/upgrade/

If you are upgrading the IPB 2.1.x version point your interenet browser to:

http://yourdomain.com/forum/sources/components_public/fusionscripts/fusionregistry/upgrade/

You may need to unlock the upgrader when you access the above URL before you can proceed. Follow the on screen instructions to unlock the upgrader.


That's it you're done with upgrade!

You can access Fusion Registry by pointing your browser to:
http://www.yoursite.com/forums/index.php?autocom=registry
Change yoursite.com to your website name.

The first thing you will want to do is go into your AdminCP and go through the Configuration options for Fusion Registry, reading each carefully! Then add your Modification Categories.

Please note that many features are disabled by default, you will need to enable them in your AdminCP. All editable text is available in the language section of your AdminCP under the filename lang_registry.php.

Please see the support section if you need help.
