Upgrading from 1.0 and 1.0.1 to 1.0.2

[jfox015]

If you downloaded Patch #2 for OOTP Fantasy Leagues Beta 1.0, you'll need to perform a manual update to enable the new automatic database and config functionality and prevent the loss of your custom league data that would be lost if you performed a full install again. If you do not perform this change, automatic updates will not be enabled from successive patches.

This process involves the following steps:

• Download your existing constants file
• Copying the change from the new update file
• Saving and uploading the constants file back to the server.

Performing the update in depth

VERY IMPORTANT: Be sure to make a backup copy of your constant.php file BEFORE you perform the steps below to have a fail safe copy to use in case something goes wrong.

• Download and extract the second patch to your local hard drive.
• Open the local directory containing the files and locate the folder in the path ootp_fantasy -> install and open constants_upgrade.php in a text or HTML editor (but not an application like Word)
• FTP to your web server and open the path [SERVER_ROOT} -> ootp_fantasy -> application -> config
  NOTE: Based on the setup of your server, [SERVER_ROOT} may be a path like "/var/www/html" or something else, but should be the folder path leading up to the "ootp_fantasy" folder.
• Download the file constants.php to your local hard drive and open it in a text or HTML editor as well
• In constants_upgrade.php, highlight and copy and paste the second line,

  Code: Select all

  define('ENV', "live");

  and paste it into the second line of your constants.php file.
• In constants_upgrade.php,
  
  • locate the text:

    Code: Select all

    // 1.0.2 UPDATE BEGIN CODE TO COPY

  • highlight and copy all lines until the line

    Code: Select all

    // 1.0.2 UPDATE END CODE TO COPY

  • Paste this code into constants.php
  • Find the second occurrence of the above update code call out and repeat.
• Save constants.php and upload it back to your web server.
• Delete constants_upgrade.php from your local hard drive then upload the patch files to your web server, overwriting and existing files when prompted.
• Browse to your fantasy site to confirm the changes. When logged itno the admin dashboard you should see a warning now that the install directory exists and a prompt to run a database update as well.
