Geoff Burke	Wednesday 28 May 2003 3:18:49 pm I downloaded the 3.1 beta today and tried to upgrade my original ezPublish 3. I didn't see any documentation on how to upgrade so, seeing that the source folder of the 3.1 beta looked like the 'default' folder in my version 3, I just backed up my old default and copied my site.ini.append from my settings/override folder and the site.ini.append from my settings/siteaccess/[mywebsite] folder. Then, I copied the design folder for [mywebsite] from my old default folder. After a restart, the admin side of things seems to be fine, but I can't access the customized design of my user side. I played with the site.ini.append from my settings/siteaccess/[mywebsite] folder, changing the [DesignSettings] SiteDesign=[mywebsite] setting to SiteDesign=standard and then SiteDesign=user These changed the look of the site as expected. But, it doesn't seem to recognize that the design for [mywebsite] exists. Same with the Demo design too by the way. I made sure I cleared my cache. Didn't make any difference. Any tips? Thanks, Geoff
Bård Farstad	Wednesday 28 May 2003 3:35:34 pm 3.1 introduces a new and improved template override system. The template overrides are now .ini file based. There is an upgrade script under update/ in the 3.1 root, this script will suggest override.ini settings for a given siteaccess. I do not recommend running 3.1 beta 1 in any production environments. It's not enough tested, yet. --bård Documentation: http://ez.no/doc

Excuse my ignorance, but can you tell me how I run them to update my eZPublish. Thanks in advance. Geoff p.s. I'm only updating a test box.

I downloaded the 3.1 beta today and tried to upgrade my original ezPublish 3.

I didn't see any documentation on how to upgrade so, seeing that the source folder of the 3.1 beta looked like the 'default' folder in my version 3, I just backed up my old default and copied my site.ini.append from my settings/override folder and the site.ini.append from my settings/siteaccess/[mywebsite] folder.

Then, I copied the design folder for [mywebsite] from my old default folder.

After a restart, the admin side of things seems to be fine, but I can't access the customized design of my user side.

I played with the site.ini.append from my settings/siteaccess/[mywebsite] folder, changing the

[DesignSettings]
SiteDesign=[mywebsite]

setting to

SiteDesign=standard and then
SiteDesign=user

These changed the look of the site as expected.

But, it doesn't seem to recognize that the design for [mywebsite] exists. Same with the Demo design too by the way.

I made sure I cleared my cache. Didn't make any difference.

Any tips?

Thanks,

Geoff
