Deleting unused modules and deprecated versions of modules

Installation and Configuration

No real reason that comes to mind other than peace of mind during the update process.

When the update process happens the new module gets copied to its -version-2.2,2 location then the main symlink for the module pointer gets changed to the new directory. From that point the old directory is not used anymore.

If you found something was broken or missing from the new version and didn't want to wait around in that state until a fix hits the marketplace keeping a version gives you an option.

Deleting unused modules and deprecated versions of modules

Installation and Configuration

As for the old modules, there's a setting at CORE -> MARKETPLACE -> GLOBAL CONFIG -> MARKETPLACE VERSIONS of how many to keep around.

If you want to blow away everything and just keep the most current version there's a tool at DEVELOPER -> DEVELOPER TOOLS -> REBASE MODULES

That takes all the -version-2.2.2 and reverts it back to just its module name and deletes the other versions.

The first method is safer and recommended for production. The second method is useful for when you're trying to figure out the difference between files on the server vs local copies. Its hard to 'compare' files in different directories.

Developer mode is sure to be one of the issues causing your site to run slow. Turn that off for production. It causes caching to be switched off so developers can see whats happening when they change stuff without having to click RESET CACHES each time.

Using Jamroom

Forum post works, but if you wanted something more substantial make a module for it, something that you can turn on in the ACP, even if its just a wrapper. Then add it to the marketplace either via creating a developer account and supporting it or something else. How would you want to do it?

If optimizing your debug table took a long time, see whats in it. on my sites its almost always empty. If its filling up you might have left over debugging code in place.

Wipe out the activity log too if its big. Only really useful to help you understand whats going on at the moment. Pretty sure I've never gone back more than a month or so to see what was happening last month in the activity log.

I see.

You add that Hosting Transfer module to your current site then send the key to support at jamroom dot net.

From there I take the key and use the "Import a site" button on your server tools to pull the info to your new domain.

Send it over.

Thanks, docs have been updated. Whatever was on that page is gone.

I haven't used this module in years. if you would like me to do the transfer for you send a ticket to support with the logins for the old location and I'll do that and update the docs at the same time.

Yeah it should. Should help you move sites around. Check this out:

--edit--
From memory, you have it on your jamroom hosting site, put in a key and it sucks all the info from the old site to the new. Probably the easiest way to get your current site to jamroom hosting.

I haven't used it in a while. let us know if you get stuck.

send an email to support at jamroom dot net with the admin login details and I'll check it out. It should just be install with no charge.

no, you should be able to keep that just as it is. Licenses are included in the hosting. Unless its a license from someone else for a module which we didn't build and even then you should be able to install any module on 2 domains.
