Hi Guys,

i wonder if JA is offering a paid upgrade option for the templates.
Im really sorry but im totally confused on how to update. Call me a noob but i dont want to get my site broke during upgrade as it is already public.

I didnt made any changes to the source code or touched any css file. I have only installed some modules, plugins, uploaded some new images and created folders for these also wrote some articles and created some menu items. So nothing in the base code.

I really dont know what i should do to update my v1.2, Im not a developer or something like this therefore i would like to know if JA provides upgrade service for this,…

Cheers
Nickel

I updated from Version 1.2 to 1.3 last night and achieved it by ftping the 1.3 quickstart over the top of the 1.2 install with the ftp client set to update files which are newer. I did not update the install folder as you will get the Joomla error message, and be unable to get to the site front end. The problems that you may get are modules which appeared in the 1.3 version, (Stock and Weather) and there associated plugin, which I deleted via ftp, and then installed through the joomla back end.

Its up to you !

Thanks thatch!
I tried it as you said. Seems that the images have been all modified as the images have been reuploaded again. Anyway it seems to be working.
Only issue are the pictures. At the frontpage it looks good but when you go to a section the images are in their full size. Guess it has something to do with JA popup or simillar.

Last question:
Do i have to run any DB updates also?

Cheers

Database should be ok from what I can make out,

with the images make sure that you have plg_jathumbnail enabled and configured correctly, that should sort out the images.
