Quick question about adding a package

Wednesday 28 February 2007 4:20:34 pm

Hi,

I need to install the weblog package on a production website but before I do I just want to make sure that installing the package won't affect my existing site.

The installer says it will install the following:

Content class Folder (folder)
Content class Weblog (weblog)
Content object

The one that worries me is the folder class, will this overwrite the existing folder class? I ask this because I have customised my folder class and I can't afford any problems.

And yes I backed up my database.

Cheers.

Pardon me while I burst into flames...

Hi Mark,

I'm using version 3.7.6 on this particular site, I've been somewhat reluctant to try an upgrade because the site is live (and still in development) and I have found this version to be very stable.

Is there any way I can download the weblog package raw and then manually create the required content classes and objects and upload the required files perhaps? Not that this sounds like a fun idea, but it might help evade problems!

Maybe an upgrade is the best option, but it really worries me that there will be issues during or after the process, and I think the client will have my head if the site has to go down for more than five minutes.

Cheers!
