Hi, development versions do not have database upgrade (because this will be in conflict in Joomla! - it is still the same version), so:


DEVELOPMENT VERSIONS ONLY!!!

How to upgrade Phoca Cart - development version (example RC5 -> RC6)

1) Download the next version (if you run RC5, download RC6)

2) Install it in your Joomla! extension manager - all files will be updated, but not all tables and columns in database

3) Open the following file in your text editor: administrator/components/com_phocacart/install/sql/mysql/install.utf8.sql

4) In this file navigate to row:

Code: Select all

-- ---------
-- RC5 -> RC6
-- ---------

and copy everything below this code, stop before next update, e.g.

Code: Select all

-- ---------
-- RC6 -> RC7
-- ---------

5) This copied text paste to new file and with help of FIND and REPLACE function change:

FIND: "--" and REPLACE to "" (find all -- (these are comments) and replace them to nothing - comments will be uncommented
FIND: "#__" and REPLACE to "jos_" (for example - find the prefix and replace it to your database prefix - in your case: "#__" to "j5010t100_" or "j5010t100_jm".

You will find your prefix in your Global Configuration (Joomla! - Administration - System - Global Configuration - Tab Server - Database Settings):



6) Copy this modifed file and paste it to SQL field in e.g. phpMyAdmin which then will update the database





The same you can do for RC6 - RC7.

To make it faster, just copy all the queries listed below your old version (example: you run RC5, then copy everything below RC5 --> RC6), and:


1) Remove the comments above (all - RCx -> RCy) (it is necessary because such comments will be uncommented by step 2 in case you run REPLACE ALL)

Code: Select all

-- ---------
-- RC6 -> RC7
-- ---------

2) Remove all comments "--" at once
3) Change all prefixes "#__" to your prefixes

What if in demo joomla i cant open phpMyAdmin?

Hi, the Phoca Cart development versions are made for developers and testers to test the possible problems so it is a premise that the developer or tester has access to edit the database data. phpMyAdmin is not a Joomla! extension, it is just program found on most servers to edit your database data. Just ask your webhosting provider how to access your database (mostly you get link and login data to your phpMyAdmin) where you can edit your database data.

There can be other programs, maybe there is some extension for Joomla! too, but the easiest, quickest and common method is to use phpMyAdmin, where you can do this update in seconds.
