Hi,

is it possible to download updates manually instead of using the update function in Admin Links SQL? I made some changes in several files and it could be much easier to apply the changes in the update files to the files I changed before instead of the reverse.

Hi,

As far as I know, thats not possible.

You can view the files that are being updated with the "detais" section in the "Update" area. Then, when the update is done - the old file will be named File.pm.bak, and then the new one in File.pm.

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Hi Andy,

unfortunately overwriting the files with an update is not an option. I will try to find out what Update.pm does to do that manually. Maybe that will work.

Hi,

Another option, would be to setup a "test" install (you're allowed a 2nd install, for "test" purposes).

Then, do the updates via that - and then look at the files that were updated.

The updates system makes backups of all the existing files it overwrites and moves them into admin/updates.

The other option is to do what Andy said - create a second test install for downloading the updates. You'll need to log into the licensed area to add them path of your second install as a test install.
