Re: [Dave] CMSB v1.34 Beta: Backup & Restore (Sign up here!)
I've just sent out v1.34 Beta 1 to all the beta testers. Check for that email with download instructions.
Here's some notes on the new features:
Backup & Restore - You can now backup & restore your MySQL database under: Admin > General Settings > Database Settings. Backing up creates an .sql file in /data/backups/ and Restoring allows you to select a file from that directory to restore.
Backup your MySQL with another tool before testing this feature (or test it on a dev environment).
Note that to backup an entire site you'd want to first create a MySQL backup with the software, then download all the files (including CMS Builder (with the backup file) and your uploads and viewer files).
Filepath changes - We've moved some things around. The only manual change you will have to make is to copy any custom plugins from /lib/plugins/ to /plugins/ (and the program will remind you to do this if you forget). We've added a step 4 to the "how to upgrade.txt" that lists some files you can remove if desired:
4) Remove these files & folders if they exist:
/[cmsAdmin]/css/ui.css (removed in v1.34 - moved to /[cmsAdmin]/style.css)
/[cmsAdmin]/css/ui_ie6.css (removed in v1.34 - moved to /[cmsAdmin]/style_ie6.css)
/[cmsAdmin]/css/wysiwyg.css (removed in v1.34 - moved to /[cmsAdmin]/lib/wysiwyg.css)
/[cmsAdmin]/images/ (removed in v1.34 - moved to /[cmsAdmin]/lib/images/)
/[cmsAdmin]/tinymce3/ (removed in v1.34 - moved to /[cmsAdmin]/3rdParty/tiny_mce/)
/[cmsAdmin]/lib/plugins/ (removed in v1.34 - moved to /[cmsAdmin]/plugins/ *MOVE PLUGINS BEFORE REMOVING*)
/[cmsAdmin]/lib/menus/accounts/ (removed in v1.24 - no longer needed, merged with /lib/menus/default/)
/[cmsAdmin]/tinyMCE/ (removed in v1.06 - moved to /[cmsAdmin]/tinymce3/)
New Menu Option - We added an option "Always Show Expanded Menu" under: Admin > General Settings > Advanced Settings. If you don't have very many menu options and you want them to always show then you may prefer this.
Let me know any bugs, comments, feedback, etc.
Thanks!
