XF 1.1 Updating

[shakuni]

Hi, I need to update to the new version. But I have made a lot of customizations to theme files. So what's the best way to update while keeping the changes unchanged

Thanks!

You should read this and follow its advice:

The template merge system will help you when upgrading to 1.2.

ok so basically I take a backup and replace all files with new version?

 

[shakuni]

ok I apologize to waste your time. I found the details in docs: http://xenforo.com/help/upgrades/

IMO this link should be added in the 1.2 upgrade thread. Thanks.

 

[Jeremy]

Yes, both links have relevance to upgrading. There's several things you should be aware of for a 1.2 upgrade, which the links above explain in detail.

ok so I have updated now.

There are some "outdated templates". Should I simply click on "Merge Changes" for them?

 

[Jeremy]

Yes, you should merge outdated templates or revert them and reapply changes.

Hi, which one is the better way. Considering that I don't remember the changes I made

You should review them to see if they are still relevant.

It is a good idea to document changes.
