Topic: error in the "help file" install.html

Hi,

In the "help file" install.html of the package to upgrade to 1.2.3, you wrote:

Upgrading from 1.2.* wrote:

Copy/upload all contents of the directory upload/ into your old 1.2 directory (overwriting any existing files).

But in the directory upload, there is also a subdirectory "include"... We may not overwrite the total directory "include" because it will delete the files of the directory "include" (on line) not present in the directory "include" of the update package.

All are present (unless you made modifications to the templates)

And this is for a clean install (no mods, no extra styles, etc)

Well, I don't think so:

In the directory "include" that I downloaded today, there are only 2 files: email.php and functions.php

You downloaded "changed files only" in which case you only overwrite the files you have wink

And you're reading Installation, not Upgrading from

also, if you overwrite a folder with ftp it won't delete the old folder but only upload the new files
