How to update plugins?

Post by Lux »

Hi,

I installed some plugins with spartacus and I have two questions.

One: Can I subscribe to an "update announcement newsletter" to catch up with newer versions of plugins I use?

Two: How can I update a plugin? Removing and installing again?

Regards

Dirk

First: We have a CVS commit list that lists all changes to the codebase of the plugins. You can subscribe to it here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/foru ... m_id=41476

The commits are usually documented so you can see what's new.

Second: You can upgrade a plugin if you click on the "Click here to install plugin..." link and then look at the list. Plugins that can be upgraded are marked with a RED button. Clicking on that button will download the new files - so no uninstalling is required.

HTH,
Garvin
