Upgrading

Everything you need to know about upgrading your v3 Ultimate Locator
(This does not cover upgrading from a v2.5 or earlier system)

Upgrade from v3.0 to v3.1:

1.	Download the v3.1 package from your Member's Account

2.	Upload all files to your server. It most cases it would be the /locator folder However, be sure NOT to upload the mysql.php file that is inside the /locator/admin folder. Doing so will wipe out your mysql login info and kill your locator system.

3.	Run the upgrade script by pointing your browser to yoursite.com/locator/admin/upgrade3.1.php The upgrade script will add new fields to your database tables that are needed for the v3.1 requirements. Which adds two fields to the configuration table and one field to the language table.

4.	If you plan on utilizing the new Embed Google Maps feature, then you will need to get your own Google Maps API Key from Google. Follow the instructions for this procedure here...

Notices:

•	Upgrading to v3.1 may reset any customizations you have made to your templates.

•	If you have made changes to your index.tpl template, and wish to retain those changes, do not upload the /locator/templates/index.tpl file to your server. Keeping your old index.tpl file will retain your customizations and will not affect any v3.1 updates.

•

However, all other templates should be uploaded to your server so that you can get the most out of the v3.1 updates. So be prepared to customize your other templates again. There is no way around this, You should consider making a full backup of your templates before upgrading, and then using them as a guide for modifying your new v3.1 set of templates.

These templates include: generic_message.tpl, print.tpl, result_details.tpl, results_list.tpl, results_list_format.tpl, results_list_format_online.tpl, results_list_online.tpl, search_form_ca.tpl, search_form_int.tpl, search_form_online.tpl, search_form_us.tpl, search_limit.tpl and visitor_add.tpl)
