Upgrading to JReviews 2.7

Upgrading to JReviews 2.6 from JReviews 2.4 and older

• Create a development site first to test the upgrade. You can use website cloning tools like Akeeba Backup for this purpose.
• Uninstall GeoMaps and PaidListings add-ons via Remote Install & Update page in JReviews administration..
• If you created the jreviews_overrides folder for customizations, disable the overrides in JReviews Configuration, o
• Uninstall the S2Framework and JReviews components. Uninstalling JReviews modules and plugins is not necessary as these will be automatically upgraded when you re-install JReviews. Also uninstalling modules will result in the lose of all your existing menu associations which is something you want to avoid.
• Download the latest JReviews 2.6 package from the client area, your upgrades need to be valid or you need to order a new upgrades package.
• Install the new S2Framework and JReviews and CLEAR the browser cache.
• If you purchased any JReviews add-ons, install them from the remote installer in JReviews administration and CLEAR the browser cache.

Extra step if you are using JReviews 2.3 or older

• Go to the JReviews remote installer and install the Image Migrator add-on and then follow the instructions. You need to setup the storage settings for photos in JReviews Media Settings before you run the migrator.
