3 Upgrading from previous versions of FileField does not differ from the
4 recommended approach for other modules.
6 Upgrading from Drupal 5
7 -----------------------
9 1) Your Drupal 5 installation must be running at least FileField 2.3 before
10 migrating to Drupal 6. If your version of FileField is older than this,
11 install the latest version of FileField for Drupal 5 on your Drupal 5 site
12 and run update.php. This gets the database in a format that the Drupal 6
15 2) After ensure FileField 2.3 or higher is on your Drupal 5 site, upgrade your
16 site normally to Drupal 6. Download the latest version of FileField for
17 Drupal 6 and place it in your sites/all/modules directory.
19 3) Run update.php on your Drupal 6 site to upgrade FileField to the latest
23 Upgrading from any previous Drupal 6 version
24 --------------------------------------------
26 1) Download the latest version of FileField and the filefield directory in
29 2) Visit update.php on your site and run the update.
34 Never, never, ever expand the "Select versions" fieldset and manually change
35 the update number. Drupal knows which version you are currently running and
36 automatically selects the appropriate version. If you change this number, you
37 risk running an update twice (if you select a lower number) or you'll skip
38 updates entirely (if you select a higher number). The ability to change the
39 update number was intended for developers. Due to the confusion caused by this
40 fieldset, it has been removed entirely in Drupal 7 to prevent such accidental
41 self-inflicted damage to user sites.
