Update keep gui? - Ballistic509 - 08-11-2008 01:30 PM
If I update to a newer release of ispCP, will it fully overwrite my /gui/ directory? I'm making some changes in there, and if I update, I don't want to have to do it all again.

yes it will be overwritten

That kind of sucks. What's the best way I could go about keeping my edits even after an update? I guess I can't really back them up, because if ispCP adds a new feature, it would then overwrite that specific file, with an updated version for the new feature. Tough one.

use a template document that you then include in the confg file, all you have to redo is put the include back in the original conf file

You could also download the release from svn. Apply your changes there and when a new version is released update the working copy to it: subversion will auto-merge the easy things, and let you do it for hard to do merges.
When you've corrected all conflicts, update using the normal procedure and then overwrite your modified files (svn status should tell you which files you've modified).
