People who are upgrading will move their config files and archive directory from the old omeka to the new one and then run a script through the administrative backend to upgrade their database. That will be the extent of the upgrade for anyone who hasn't modified any of the PHP files in Omeka.</p> <p>When you say "get too far along in something", do you mean changing the core of the application, or do you making extensions like themes or plugins? If you've changed any PHP files in Omeka's code base that aren't either plugins, themes, or configuration files, chances are that your changes won't work in the new version. It'd be best to make a list of all the things you've changed and then it will be easier to upgrade later. </p> <p>Plugins and themes are a different story. I can say with certainty that the API for Omeka's themes and plugins in the next version will be changing considerably from the current 0.9 release branch, though we haven't finalized the changes yet. The changes in the API are necessary because we've made some pretty fundamental changes to Omeka's database, and the old themes won't work with the new database. That said, we'll be upgrading all the themes and plugins that we've released to work with the new system, so we'll most likely have instructions on our codex as well as answering specific questions on the forums. </p> <p>Hope that helps! </p> http://omeka.org/forums/topic/omeka-upgrades#post-497 Tue, 24 Jun 2008 00:30:14 +0000 AJMillion 497@http://omeka.org/forums/ <p>Hey all. I've been back and forth on the boards lately and have another question. This time, I'm curious about upgrading Omeka. I know from version .9 to .91 all that really had to be done was replace a few files. Is this going to be the case in future versions? The reason I ask is because I don't want to get too far along in something and not be able to upgrade Omeka because "x" change or "y" change has been made.</p> <p>Any idea of how future upgrades will be dealt with? </p>
