upgrade question

[mykodachrome]

This is not really a bug - it is a question which I hope does not bug anyone - but I did not know where to ask it.

I am about to upgrade from 1.5rc to 1.5 and the way I read it I am to replace all the files in all the directoris for the upgrade. I am wondering though - can I leave my 1.5rc templates as they are and not replace them with the 1.5 sets? I ask because my 1.5cr's are modified to include a stat counter and also a paged archives thing that was an addon.

Oh and the otehr thing - I am using the admin_alismet_comment addon, I assume I just leave all that as is and it will still work?

Thanks muchly

I left the templates folder out when I uploaded my upgrade files and all was fine. Additionally, when you upload entire directories, the new files will overwrite the old ones, which is what you want (but don't forget to modify your pixelpost.php file, located in the includes directory to show your db/server info), but will not delete files that are already there. So, if you have a file that already exists on your server, it won't be deleted when you upload the new directory to the same spot.

(edit: did that just not make any sense at all, or am I having trouble understanding my own words?)

1) edit pixelpost.php and enter your data

2) if you do not use the templates which come with PP do not upload them if you don't want

3) upload all the files now so that they overwrite the existing files at the serve with identical names

Making it simple:
1) if template directory name is the same with this addeded to pixelpost then change its name (i.e. add 2 and the end of dir name) and upload new version of pixelpost overwriting the old one
2) if you template directory name is unique against this added to pixelpost then you can copie whole pixelpost package without any problems
