I too would be interested to know, as I have a project that is 99% complete on 1.3.4 and upgrading to 1.4.0 could cause me a lot of headaches.

Hi there,

I just did it ;)

1) Made a backup of my files.
2) Made a database-backup from within the shop administration.
3) Just to be on the safe side, also made an export of tables from mySQL directly (didn't need that later).

4) Uploaded all the new files to the shop directory.
5) Found everything running properly but without the data I already had set up (categories, products etc.)
6) Restored the database with the file from 2)

Bingo!

Have fun!

Easy upgrade ! ???

Not for me and I explain why. Open Cart seem to be a simple solution for a shopping cart and I maked a great design, the best I'v seen before no similar design to other template, because I added some feature to user both languages (english and french), currency and update module is not very easy to upgrade to the version 1.4. I tried to update only the admin section because the look and feel is better than older version but no good idea. Imagine if you want to add a particular text in your page, you need first to add the variable in your languages files and you need to update the ref. files under controller section.

So I'm not happy because I need to rewrite all of my updates and I don't want to be like that in the future update version. It's the only why I'm not happy for the rest good look & feel and good work

I did the same thing but my template is blue now instead of the red and the latest products are a bunch of electronics equipment and not the antiques/collectibles that I did have! It must be a step I missed somewhere, but I'm still kind of panic stricken about it.

Alright, I'm better now--I added one new product and that apparently has set everything back to how it was and got rid of the electronics images in my 'latest products' section of the store. But what happened to the template, it used to be red and tan-ish and now it's blue.

Yeah me too. The upgrade all worked perfectly except that all my data was gone. Ok luckily I was paranoid enough to have backed up my database and once I restored that all my products etc were back but my localisation settings all had to be re-set.

The templates are a whole different story - most of the problems seem to be with the header template. Version 1.4 implements the menu and the search box in a completely different way and so my completely customized template no longer works.

No greet problem with that I can customize a new one I spose. The biggest issue is that these problems should have been listed in the documentation so we knew what to expect when we upgraded. I did check the upgrade instructions first and nothing about these changes was mentioned.

btw - Just for the record I should add. Other than the upgrade process OC has been one of the easiest shopping carts I have set up and used (And I've done quite a few over the years) and overall I am very happy with it. I am a bit paranoid about updating OC for my clients tho.

If you want to filemanager works fine after upgradeing to 1.4.0 you need to folow this steps

1.Move all images from upload/images/ to upload/images/data/
2.Go to the database and run this SQL script:

Code: Select all

UPDATE product SET image = CONCAT('data/',image);
UPDATE manufacturer SET image = concat('data/',image);
Now you can see your images in filemanager

Is there a way that the userfiles in the images dir can be set according the same solution?

I'm sorry but I don't understand what do you want to. Please could you explain it clearly.

My update went fine following eliZZZa's procedure. No db restore needed either.

Thank for the help

Just upload the new files, Goto the Settings and click save
