The Booking+ Rooms / Commerce 7.x distribution is only available in the Booking+ Pro & Booking+ Enterprise products. You can find out more about the Booking+ Commerce distribution at the Booking+ product page http://www.morethanthemes.com/?q=themes/bookingplus

Prepare your workbench

  1. Create a temporary installation of Drupal 7 Booking+ 2.1.0 using our installation profile. You will use this as a reference to guide you.

Backup

  1. Backup everything.
  2. Just in case, make sure you backed up everything =) (besides, it's always a good idea).

Put your website in maintenance mode

  1. Login to your Drupal installation as administration user
  2. Navigate to admin/config/development/maintenance
  3. Enable the "Put site into maintenance mode" option
  4. Save your configuration

Update Drupal core

Take a breath and read Drupal's Upgrading from previous versions first. This upgrade will update your Drupal core to the version 7.31. We assume that you are currently using a 7.x version so it's about a "Minor update procedure".

  1. Locate the root folder of your site. This is Drupal's root folder, where the index.php file is located.
  2. Delete all Drupal files and folders except the [sites] folder.
  3. Copy all Drupal files and folders from your temporary installation except the [sites] folder.
  4. Run the update.php file calling a url like http://www.example.com/update.php or http://www.example.com/test_site/update.php, if your site is located under a subdirectory.

Install new modules

The 4.x branch of the webform module requires the installation of the token module. The following steps will guide your through the process

  1. Locate the extra modules folder of your site, usually at [sites/all/modules].
  2. Copy the latest version of the token module from your temporary installation.
  3. Enable the module through the admin interface (admin/modules)

[Rooms/Commerce] Move the token module folder

The Booking+ Rooms / Commerce 7.x distribution already comes with the token module enabled. However since this is now also included in the simple distribution it is recommended that you move the token module folder from modules/contrib/token to modules/token to help with future module updates instructions. Please follow the process bellow.

  1. Locate the Rooms/Commerce specific modules folder of your site, usually at [sites/all/modules/contrib].
  2. Cut the token folder and paste it into the sites/all/modules/ folder.
  3. Check that your website is functioning correctly. If not the registry rebuild module (https://www.drupal.org/project/registry_rebuild) will most probably solve any issues.

Update extra modules

Booking+ comes with several extra modules required to achieve its functionality. The following process will update them to the latest (by the time these lines are written) version, as marked below:

  1. Locate the extra modules folder of your site, usually at [sites/all/modules].
  2. Delete the folders webform, ctools, views, jquery_update that belong to the Booking+ distribution. If there are any extra module folders that have been installed by you later, you should leave them untouched or update them later manually, which is beyond the scope of this guide
  3. Copy the latest version of the deleted module from your temporary installation.
  4. Run the update.php file calling a url like http://www.example.com/update.php or http://www.example.com/test_site/update.php, if your site is located under a subdirectory.

[Rooms/Commerce] Update Rooms/Commerce modules

Booking+ comes with several extra Rooms/Commerce modules required to achieve its functionality. The following process will update them to the latest (by the time these lines are written) version, as marked bellow:

  1. Locate the Rooms/Commerce specific modules folder of your site, usually at [sites/all/modules/contrib].
  2. Delete the folders rooms, rules, addressfield that belong to the Booking+ distribution. If there are any extra module folders that have been installed by you later, you should leave them untouched or update them later manually, which is beyond the scope of this guide.
  3. Copy the latest version of the deleted module from your temporary installation.
  4. Run the update.php file calling a url like http://www.example.com/update.php or http://www.example.com/test_site/update.php, if your site is located under a subdirectory.

Patch your Booking+ theme files

  2. Locate our theme folder in your drupal 7 site. Usually at [sites/all/themes/bookingplus]
  3. Replace the following files or folders in your installation, using the corresponding source files from the temporary installation (folders should be first deleted and finally copied from your temp installation).
  • style.css
  • template.php
  • views-view-list--slideshow_full--block.tpl.php
  • bootstrap
  • js/rs-plugin

Update your Booking+ theme configuration
