Advanced Poll 2.07 Instal and questions

How do you install a new version of advanced poll, do you just copy the new files over the old? Anything else to do, other than re do your hacks and template mods.

Can the captcha be turned off?

So, no one knows how to upgrade advanced poll from one revision to a newer one?

Realy only 2 ways, copy over the old files, or run install. How to do it without messing up the DB.

Given that the DB has nothing at all to do with the files used for the poll script replacing them will not ffect the database.

So, to upgrade you just copy new over old.?

By messing up I mean not working with the new version because table names, etc. might have changed; and conversion by an install script might be needed.

Frank

Well make a back up copy of everything first but that's just common sense. And don't replace the configuration file.

This f-d up everything, by the way. I had to restore it to the previous version (luckily I backed it up).

I wish someone would tell us how to upgrade properly

Copied new files over old, didn't work. Then dicovered upgrade script in misc directory, ran it, didn't work!!

For some reason the $polvars[base_url] is not correct, every thing that needs it fails.!!!!

So, on another installation that needs an upgrade, we will leave it alone and look for a new poll script.
