CorporatePlus:Upgrade to version 2.1.0 for Drupal 7

From MtTWiki

This document will guide you to upgrade your Drupal 7 Corporate+ 2.0.1 installation to Corporate+ 2.1.0 for Drupal 7.

The steps that are tagged [Commerce] are relevant only to the Corporate+ Commerce 7.x distribution and should be skipped if you are running the simple Corporate+ 7.x distribution. The Corporate+ Commerce 7.x distribution is only available in the Corporate+ Pro & Corporate+ Enterprise products. You can find out more about the Corporate+ Commerce distribution at the Corporate+ product page http://www.morethanthemes.com/?q=themes/corporateplus

Prepare your workbench

1. Create a temporary installation of Drupal 7 Corporate+ 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.

Update extra modules

Corporate+ 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:

• Update twitter module to latest 7.x-5.10
• Update ctools module to latest 7.x-1.9
• Update jquery_update module to latest 7.x-2.6

s#Locate the extra modules folder of your site, usually at [sites/all/modules].

1. Delete the folders twitter, ctools, jquery_update that belong to the Corporate+ 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
2. Copy the latest version of the deleted module from your temporary installation.
3. 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 Corporate+ theme files

1. Locate our theme folder in your temporary installation. Usually at [sites/all/themes/corporateplus]
2. Locate our theme folder in your drupal 7 site. Usually at [sites/all/themes/corporateplus]
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
• /bootstrap

[Commerce]Enable the Inline Entity Form widget for commerce products

1. Locate the extra commerce modules folder of your site, usually at [sites/all/modules/contrib].
