Upgrading from 1.2 to 1.3

+
+

Note

+

The instructions on this page assume you are running version +1.2. If you have not upgraded to that version please do so first.

+
+

Before performing an update you should take your site offline by +replacing the index.php file with a static one.

+
+

Step 1: Update your CodeIgniter files

+

Replace the following directories in your “system” folder with the new +versions:

+
+

Note

+

If you have any custom developed files in these folders please +make copies of them first.

+
+
    +
  • application/models/ (new for 1.3)
    • +
  • codeigniter (new for 1.3)
    • +
  • drivers
    • +
  • helpers
    • +
  • init
    • +
  • language
    • +
  • libraries
    • +
  • plugins
    • +
  • scaffolding
    • +
+
+
+

Step 2: Update your error files

+

Version 1.3 contains two new error templates located in +application/errors, and for naming consistency the other error templates +have been renamed.

+

If you have not customized any of the error templates simply replace +this folder:

+
    +
  • application/errors/
    • +
+

If you have customized your error templates, rename them as follows:

+
    +
  • 404.php = error_404.php
    • +
  • error.php = error_general.php
    • +
  • error_db.php (new)
    • +
  • error_php.php (new)
    • +
+
+
+

Step 3: Update your index.php file

+

Please open your main index.php file (located at your root). At the very +bottom of the file, change this:

+
require_once BASEPATH.'libraries/Front_controller'.EXT;
+
+
+

To this:

+
require_once BASEPATH.'codeigniter/CodeIgniter'.EXT;
+
+
+
+
+

Step 4: Update your config.php file

+

Open your application/config/config.php file and add these new items:

+
/*
+|------------------------------------------------
+| URL suffix
+|------------------------------------------------
+|
+| This option allows you to add a suffix to all URLs.
+| For example, if a URL is this:
+|
+| example.com/index.php/products/view/shoes
+|
+| You can optionally add a suffix, like ".html",
+| making the page appear to be of a certain type:
+|
+| example.com/index.php/products/view/shoes.html
+|
+*/
+$config['url_suffix'] = "";
+
+
+/*
+|------------------------------------------------
+| Enable Query Strings
+|------------------------------------------------
+|
+| By default CodeIgniter uses search-engine and
+| human-friendly segment based URLs:
+|
+| example.com/who/what/where/
+|
+| You can optionally enable standard query string
+| based URLs:
+|
+| example.com?who=me&what=something&where=here
+|
+| Options are: TRUE or FALSE (boolean)
+|
+| The two other items let you set the query string "words"
+| that will invoke your controllers and functions:
+| example.com/index.php?c=controller&m=function
+|
+*/
+$config['enable_query_strings'] = FALSE;
+$config['controller_trigger'] = 'c';
+$config['function_trigger'] = 'm';
+
+
+
+
+

Step 5: Update your database.php file

+

Open your application/config/database.php file and add these new items:

+
$db['default']['dbprefix'] = "";
+$db['default']['active_r'] = TRUE;
+
+
+
+
+

Step 6: Update your user guide

+

Please also replace your local copy of the user guide with the new +version.
