Hi all,

I have some questions regarding updates :

Now I have 1.2..

1. When I want to use the new version I have to update from 1.2 to 1.3 first ? Or is it possible from 1.2 to 1.4 ?

2. What I have to save first before I update the version and when all files will be updated , I have to remember all changes in the past for example template.css to cover these ?

Thanks for your comments 🙂

1. You can upgrade to 1.4 at once, without going through 1.3

2. As regards your custom coding (hacking) of template files you should apply them again to 1.4.

In this cases, I’m comparing my hacked files with original ones and save (record) the differences (for example with B2Compare or Notepad ++) first. In you case you should keep all hacked files (record the differences) for version 1.2.

Then, I remove all old template files, upload new ones and apply the hacks to the new files.

Dear minas69,

If i was you, i would have followed the following steps.

1. Backup a copy of old teline III template folder to safe place.
2. Uninstall the template and install the new version. Redo the template customization based on compare and old file edits.
3. Take screenshots of module backend settings. Uninstall it and install the new module version (if updated). Redo the module configs based on older screenshots.

Whatever, you do, take due backups, so that you never lose your old settings and template edits.

Arvind

I update from v 1.2 to 1.4.2 I have this problems:

The megamenu items are hiden, and I cant show it. I try to create a new position name “topmega” but don’t fix the problem.
I use the text mode for logo type, and with iphone template show a generic text “site slogan”
The ihpone template dont show the foot menu, and if you change to see the desktop version, you can’t change it. Because the foot only show a grey bar wiht a Framework logo, but if you read an article, you can see the foot menus, and you can change to the mobile version.

I try to install the last Ja Teline III V2 version but I cant change any configuration, because the sistem said that no hace a parameters file. And the web site dont show anything
Can you help me please?
Thanks
