Updating Qwwwik
Current version: 1.4
Version 1.4 gives an option for internal links as relative, not absolute. Also has option for GZIP compression.
Updating Qwwwik is simple. Follow these instructions:
Backup before updating
Backup first. If your server supports ZIP archiving, admin backup provides a utility to ZIP the files for download to your hard drive. Otherwise they can be backed up by downloading them via FTP.
To update, do ALL of (1) to (5):
(1) Download
Unzip the ZIP file qwwwik.zip to your hard drive [ enquire ].
(2) Logout
If you haven't already, logout of admin.
(3) Upload
Upload ALL the files in the cms/admin/ folder.
Upload ALL the files in the cms/inc/ folder.
Upload ALL the files in the cms/css/ folder.
Upload ALL the files actually in the cms/ root folder.
Upload the new /fonts/ folder to replace the existing /fonts/ folder.
then preferably: upload all the files inside the /css-unminified/ folder, the /diagnostics/ folder, the /img/ folder, the /js/ folder, the /uploads/ folder and the /video/ folder.
Except for /fonts/, DO NOT UPLOAD ANY FOLDERS when updating because they contain other files already on the website: the settings, stylesheet.css, extra.css, salted and hashed password, plus pages and images created so far. Upload the new files only to replace the same original files only.
If you have edited extra-head.php or tracking.php, or any other system file in the original download ZIP, don't upload the new ones until you've transferred your edits. Otherwise upload every new file.
(4) Re-install and setup
To avoid the risk of downtime, immediately after you have uploaded all the files, go to /admin/install.php and install – the same process as the original installation. This is important: it verifies the update and updates the settings file. You don't need to change the password (unless you want to) and won't lose any content, but backup first anyway.
After updating and running install, any folder or file not in the update can then be deleted.
(5) Last but not least ...
The style sheets 'default styles' and 'default styles minified' may have changed. Unless you have edited the style sheet, go to 'Edit styles' in admin and update to the latest style sheet with 'Get styles' and 'Update styles', choosing either 'Default styles' or 'Default minified'.
Note: if you are updating the previous system (superMicro CMS) you will also need to make a few other changes. For info, get in touch.
