If one were to install 1.2.2 from scratch...  Bottom

  • How would one install 1.2.2 from scratch? Presumably, bring modules from some previous version? That raises the question whether a module only has a dir under modules or some branches somewhere else...

  • im sorry i don't exactly understand your question. i you want to do an installation of 1.2.2 it would be like any other install. download it to your server, run the install.php file, go onto the extdb and get modules you want. or just go onto the extdb and get the modules you want and embed the 1.2.2 core. Is that what you are asking (how to install 1.2.2)? or are you asking how to do a fresh install then bring data over from a previous site?

  • I suggest start:

    In general a (non core) module has a directory under modules containing, amongst others, a version.php file identifying the module.
  • Zikula 1.2.2 zip file unzips to Zikula-1.2.2. directory. Zikula-1.1.2-FULL.zip unzips to whichever directory one unzips it to with all the modules in it. Now..when you say get the modules....where will a typical module unzip? Will it be just a single subdirectory under modules directory or some components in other directories?

    Say I unzip 1.1.2, and then unzip 1.2.2 and let it overwrite all duplicate filnames files. Will that do?

    Thanks in advance,

  • If you want to install 1.2.2, which is probably what you want, then just unzip 1.2.2. You don't need 1.1.2.

    Regarding modules: most modules are just unzipped in the root modules directory. Most modules come with a docs or pndocs directory containing some installation and configuration instructions.

  • Note that the extdb packs the modules to unzip them in the site's root. It will build the ZIP with the corresponding root folders (/modules or /themes, or even /config when plugins are downloaded.
