Re: how to upgrade cumulus mx
You just need to copy and paste the files you require.
In my case, after downloading a new version and unzipping it to the desktop, I delete all folders from it apart from the interface one. I then copy and paste all of the other files in the main root to C:\CumulusMX\ directory and overwrite them. including the interface folder.
Make a backup of your entire CumulusMX folder just in case.
Your config settings will stay the same, because the new downloaded version doesn't contain the cumulus.ini file.

Re: how to upgrade cumulus mx
There is nothing in the zip files that will overwrite any of your data or configuration. It is safe to just overwrite the current contents of your CumulusMX folder (after making a backup of course).

Re: how to upgrade cumulus mx
Having skipped the 2 previous updates (3.2.1 and 3.2.2) can I update the same to 3.2.3 or do I have to do the other 2 updates as well?

Re: how to upgrade cumulus mx
There is the exception for those who have made their own modifications to the templates in the \web folder.
But as mentioned, a backup should be an essential.
\CumulusMX - Copy (6) took about 15 seconds to create earlier today.

Re: how to upgrade cumulus mx
in each update there are also previous updates? Even without having done it in chronology. It could happen that if you don't always connect to the forum someone can escape ....

Re: how to upgrade cumulus mx
Each release is complete - and is not dependent on previous releases.

Re: how to upgrade cumulus mx
One of the other standard files that I have changed is /interface/js/extrawebfiles.js
Changed to display 20 lines of Extra Webfiles as discussed in this thread.
viewtopic.php?f=27&t=17477&p=134765&hil ... es#p134765
Has that change made it to the standard release as mention in the last post?

Re: how to upgrade cumulus mx
Well, I just overwrote the cumulus.exe file with this new it's all wonderfully updated, so from how I figured out with every update just overwrite with the files you tell us here on the right forum?
