In the current part of our Dolphin tutorial we will explain how to upgrade your script to the latest stable version.

dolphin_upgr1

Click on the UPGRADE link to initiate the procedure.

The script will complete the update and the following message will confirm the successful end of the operation:

Automatic part of upgrade is completed

After this you should complete several steps.

First, clean the cache, tmp and cache_public folders leaving only the .htaccess files if such are stored in the corresponding directories.

Recompile the languages files for the modules from the Dolphin administration area -> Tools -> Modules.

Compile the system language file from the Dolphin administration area -> Settings -> Languages Settings.dolphin_upgr3

Also, complete the same action for the Orca Forum Language file through the Dolphin administration area -> Modules -> Orca Forum -> Manage Forum. Compile the installed language files using the corresponding link.

The last step is to delete the upgrade folder. This can be completed through your cPanel->File Manager. Detailed instructions on how to use the File Manager can be found in our cPanel tutorial: File Manager.

Additionally, using the above tool open the inc/header.inc.php file and enter the correct build version in the $site[‘ver’] and $site[‘build’] variables. For example, if you have upgraded your web site from version 7.0.8 to 7.0.9, the change is as follows:

from:

$site['ver'] = '7.0';$site['build'] = '8';

to:

$site['ver'] = '7.0';$site['build'] = '9';

In this way all the upgrade steps will be completed and your web site will work with the latest stable version of the Dolphin application.
