JR5 to JR6 Ningja Latest activity "array" issue
Using Jamroom
I'm a little confused.
My current active CUSTOM skin which was built 18 months ago from the original Ningja skin... is the skin I want to KEEP because I've made a WHOLE LOT of custom changes to it...like over 100 customizations I imagine.
So first I would update my Core to v6, then I imagine all the module updates would then appear in my system update list....like a gazillion modules to update one by one.
I assume the Ningja skin will NOT be among those updates to apply- because your'e switching instead to the Ninja skin...so technically I'd not be 'updating' the new Ninja skin- just installing it new from the marketplace, right?
But which things should I do FIRST, in what sequence?- first update the Core to 6, then the gazillion modules?- then last of all install the first version of Ninja,
and finally do the
"The change is to locate this line around line 387 ish of index.tpl
ACP -> SKINS -> NINGJA -> TEMPLATES -> index.tpl -> MODIFY ...and change it to this...."
- but I should do that on my current CUSTOM skin that I want to keep, right?
At which point(s) am I supposed to do integrity checks during this sequence of things?
Do I need to do any OTHER changes to my current custom skin besides this Array tweak in its index.tpl ?
Wasn't there something else about the index Activity Feed as well? I would go over the short 5-to-6 'guide' you guys posted a few days ago. But I'm still kinda worried.
Do you still think it's advisable to increase my server size and temporarily and Clone my whole live site onto a temporary domain to test the process on the dummy clone site? Hmm...I'm envisioning a half day's work here...?
I do have another non-live site I've been building- I suppose I could update all the above THERE first to jr6, but I'm the only member on it so not sure it would reveal much when testing.
Ugh, change skeers me. =8-0 Any clarifications are welcome!
