Updating with Update button on admin dashboard

[marcvander]

Hey there,

I'm using nuBuilder v3, and I would like to update to nuBuilder v4. I found that : http://wiki.nubuilder.net/nubuilderfort ... p/Updating

So if I click on the "Update nuBuilder" button on the admin dashboard of my current nuBuilder v3, it will automatically update to nuBuilder v4 without losing any data (forms, objects, scripts, reports etc.) and without losing any data entry in the database (including the new tables I created) ?

Thanks,

Marc

Thanks Steven.

So what is the best practice to upgrade from v3 to v4 ?

Shall I install the new files, and then create a new database, import nubuilder4.sql to the new database, point the new nuconfig.php to the new database, and then export the old v3 database and import to the new database ?

Marc,

That's up to you.

But v3 and v4 system files can live together in the same database as v3 starts with 3 zs and v4 starts with 4.

Also, sre_layout in the zzzsys_report table (the report's design) can be reused in sre_layout of zzzzsys_report.
