MG 2.0 Upgrading media gallery

[bobs409]

I just wanted to check before I create a disaster for myself. I just downloaded version 2.0 of media gallery to update the old version I have now. If I upload as it is, will it do ONLY an update and NOT a fresh install? The forum download offer an install or an upgrade choice but not for the gallery.

Thanks,

Bob

It will update the existing gallery - no content will be lost.

I uploaded the new version but the add on won't turn on in the admin area.

That would generally be indicative of not uploading the files to the correct location.

I uploaded the new files to forum/library/XenGallery directory. That's where they were working prior to upgrading to 2.0.

I'm not even sure what version I had last. In my add on list, it shows: Xen media gallery 2.1.3 When I go to the customer area, the newest version that I downloaded is 2.0.0

Xen Media Gallery is the version before XenForo brought it on board.

After Xen Media Gallery 2.1 was XenForo Media Gallery 1.0, 1.1 and now it's XenForo Media Gallery 2.0.

You should still be able to upgrade, however, to do so, you need to follow the instructions provided in the download, which links to here:

https://xenforo.com/xf2-docs/manual/media-gallery/

You've currently uploaded the files to totally the wrong place.

Ok I think I have the files in the right spot now. When I try to upgrade, I get this error:
