Re: Installation/Upgrades tutorial and Tutorials in general...

You have been looking at a few messages from me.. I had some medical issues and some equipment issues that have set me back a little bit. But I am working on things now. Currently working on the Install script and I am working on a PDO database script right now which should not take very long. I hope to have the PDO database script available this week for testing if I don't have any unforeseen issues.

I work on the install script at home on my desktop and I am working on the PDO script at work on my laptop and will be working on xRoster at work as well once I have the PDO script finished.

I will be working on a system to do just this.. When I say I have future plans to make a lot of this stuff obsolete this is what I mean.

Since my classes are letting up some I hope to have a new Install program ready soon. Once the install program is in testing I will be looking at the Group and Permission changes I have been wanting to make. The next thing after that is a self contained install/upgrade system. It will have 3 components to it. I will be redoing the module install module that is included in the Basic Module pack. I will also be creating a module that will interface into TDMDownloads and wfdownloads to create a compatible RSS feed for the module installer. Once that is working I will be working on a new install/upgrade system.

So this will be done but not before I accomplish the other items.

I think a better method for upgrades is how Drupal handles it. They have a module called "Update Status". The module lists your CMS version as well as all installed modules. Once a day a cronjob runs to compare the version installed with the version in the site repository. If a newer version is available it cives you a yellow warning at the top of the admin section ..... if it is a security update the update is red.

This gives you good visual reference that an update is available as well as direct links to download the update.

I am sure there are other ways of doing this but this does seem to work well.
