If you have already installed a trial version, please perform the steps below to update to the full version.

Update Instructions

Please perform the following steps to update to a newer version:

1.       Backup all data before you start updating: Database, site content, DNN folders.

2.       To prevent errors during the product data import of your old import files if there are some new fields in the import function you can exclude these fields like that: module CAT_StoreSettings -> click the ‘Edit Item Import Query’ link -> click the ‘Update’ link. This will save all current import fields and exclude the new fields from the update.

3.       Backup the changed English language package. The English package will be updated automatically. All other language packages must be uploaded manually from folder: \LanguagePackages. If you have changed the English en-US (default) CATALooK.netStore language package you must backup this package before you start the update and restore it after the update: Module CAT_LangSwitcher -> Select 'Create/Migrate Language Packages' from the module menu -> Select 'English' from the 'Resource Locale' selector -> Click on the 'Create' link. After the update you must restore this package via Host -> Languages -> 'Upload Language Pack'. The file is located in the portal default folder: Portals\_default\ResourcePack.default.zip.

4.       Backup the changed standard skin package. All data in the standard skin folder \skins\blue will be replaced. If you have changed the CATALooK.netStore blue skin package you must export it via module CAT_StoreSettings before you start the update and reinstall it under consideration of the ‘History report of skin files changes’ after the update.

5.       Backup changed standard Email Template Package: module: CAT_StoreSettings -> Email Template Package -> Export Package. All data in the standard Email Template folder: DesktopModules\CATALooKStore\EmailTemplatePackages\standard will be replaced by the default files.

6.       Backup changed providers.

7.       Re-install the skin objects from folder DNN_SkinPackages via Host -> Module Definitions -> Install New Module.

8.       Re-install all modules via DNN installer (Host -> Module Definitions -> Install New Module) or ftp the pa-module files to /Install/Module folder and then give a command at the /Install/Install.aspx?mode=InstallResources or Host -> Module Definitions -> Available Modules -> Select Modules -> Install Selected Modules. Check if all modules have the new version: (Host -> Module Definitions -> CATALooKStore etc. -> Version).

9.       Click reload or [F5] on your browser window to activate changes in the css file.

10.   If you have installed other language than English and you have not changed anything on the translations, reload all language packages from folder LanguagePackages\ via Host -> Languages -> 'Upload Language Pack'.

11.   Reload the CATALooK.netStore skins from folder CATALooKSkinPackages\ via module CAT_StoreSettings - > 'Upload New Skin'.

12.   Reload the DNN skin package. Follow the instruction in file: Install.txt in folder: DNN3SkinPackages\ (DNN3) or DNN_SkinPackages\ (DNN4 + 5).

13.   Reload the DNN container package. Follow the instruction in file: Install.txt in folder: DNN3Containers\ (DNN3) or DNN_Containers\ (DNN4 + 5).

14.   Restore providers from backup.

15.   If you use one of the original CATALooK.netStore skins from the CATALooK.netStore package and you have not applied any changes, please re-install the skin.
