SuccessInc:Upgrade to version 2.1

From MtTWiki

This document will guide you to upgrade your Drupal 7 Success Inc 2.0 installation to Success Inc 2.1 for Drupal 7.

Prepare your workbench

1. Be sure that you are currently running Success Inc 2.0 for Drupal 7.
2. Create a temporary installation of Drupal 7 Success Inc 2.1 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).

Update Drupal core

Take a breath and read Drupal's Upgrading form previous versions first. This upgrade will update your Drupal core to version 7.22. 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. Login to your Drupal installation as an administration user, your site should still work as usual.
5. 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

Success Inc. 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 bellow:

• Chaos tool suite (ctools) module to latest version 7.x-1.3
• Views module to latest version 7.x-3.7
• Libraries API to latest version 7.x-2.1
• MtT Twitter module to latest version 7.x-1.2

1. Locate the extra modules folder of your site, usually at [sites/all/modules].
2. Delete the folders views, ctools, libraries and mtt_twitter that belong to the Success Inc. distribution. If there are any extra module folders that have been installed by you, you should leave them untouched or update them later manually, which is beyond the scope of this guide.
3. Copy the latest versions of the deleted modules 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 Success Inc. theme files

1. Locate our theme folder in your temporary installation. Usually at [sites/all/themes/successinc]
2. Locate our theme folder in your drupal 7 site. Usually at [sites/all/themes/successinc]
3. Delete the fonts folder in your installation [sites/all/themes/successinc/fonts]
4. Copy the fonts folder [sites/all/themes/successinc/fonts] from the temporary installation.
5. Replace the following files in your installation, using the corresponding source files from the temporary installation:
   1. successinc.info
   2. theme-settings.php
   3. template.php
   4. style.css

Clear all cached data

This step is important in order to force your template to be informed for the changes you have made in the template files.

To do this go to Administer » Site configuration » Performance » Clear cached data
