djcaseanova Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I have 5.2.16 and I noticed that there is an upgrade available to 5.2.17When I am in my admin control panel, the only upgrade the CP offers me is to Version 6. I am not entirely sure I want to jump to V6 yet. Why is there not an option to go to 5.2.17??Also, more importantly, where are the instructions for manually upgrading to 5.2.17 and is there a changelog available? I would like to see what's new so that I can make sure my store isn't going to come crashing down!!! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) There is one file to change, as I understand it. Have you saved the 5.2.17 zip to your computer? Extract it and find the changed file and replace just that file. It's a js file (thinking of something else) if I remember correctly. I'll be back with the actual file name.It's classes/admin.class.phpThen change the version number to 5.17 in ini.inc.php Edited September 11, 2015 by Dirty Butter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 CC5217 has a security code change. The change in the javascript file is not yet published and may not be applicable to CC5 anyway.https://github.com/cubecart/v5/commit/353d39be4f602b9552b1d5d719a0bb7aa6279a06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcaseanova Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Thanks. I am having an epiphany as we speak..... may just be better to upgrade to V6 and get it over with. I will eventually just didn't want to do it right away without knowing that all my v5 work will carry over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Any update/upgrade is a complete code wipe. Whatever changes you have made to the actual code, those changes will not survive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcaseanova Posted September 11, 2015 Author Share Posted September 11, 2015 Correct. That's why I am thinking I should upgrade now instead of playing with V5. I'd assume support for V5 would eventually come to a close once V6 gets further along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philippagreen Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I have a client who has a 5.2.12 site who doesn't wish to spend much to do an upgrade but unless I do something his site will go down on 7th December when the Software Licence is switched off. I've updated the classes/admin.class.php to the 5.2.17 version and the ini.inc.php is this enough to keep his site running for a while longer please?

bsmither Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 From the 5.2.17 package, please replace just the existing files /index.php and /admin.php.Please restore the /ini.inc.php back to the 5.2.12 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philippagreen Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) If I replace the 5.2.12 version of the Ini.inc.php is it possible for it still to read 5.2.17 in the Admin panel? otherwise my client might be disbelieving that I've actually done anything?Thank you for the file advice, much appreciated.

bsmither Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 CubeCart will report itself as the version specified in the ini.inc.php file. CubeCart will also compare that reported version with the version databased in the CubeCart_history table. The versions databased in this table is the sequence of the versions that the database has been upgraded through.If the two versions do not match, CubeCart will complain.However, realize that you didn't actually upgrade CubeCart to 5.2.17. So you know the codebase is still at 5.2.12 and therefore the database should be at 5.2.12 as well. The result is that your client may come across CubeCart's complaint about a version mismatch.If your client already has a propensity to not believe you, then CubeCart's complaint may be yet still other fodder for the apparent less than ideal relationship you have with your client.

philippagreen Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Thank you, we have a good working relationship, it just made me wonder when he logged into the Admin that the warning would still say 5.2.12, I didn't realise the importance of the ini.inc.php only that I'd seen it mentioned on another thread where it had been altered to read 5.2.17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
