Phoenix Cart Forum

This utility will upgrade your CE Phoenix store.
The update data for each version is no longer included in the addon but downloaded automatically as required, so you don't need to upload a whole bunch in one go, or update the addon for each release.
After a new version of CE Phoenix is released, keep an eye on the support forum for this addon for announcement of the availability of the corresponding update.

Instructions:

1. BACKUP YOUR STORE FILES AND YOUR DATABASE !!
2. Copy the upgrader folder to somewhere on your server. The easiest location would be inside your catalog folder.
3. Navigate to yourwebsite.com/upgrader/
4. Create a password
5. Login
6. Link to the file structure of your store
7. Test the connection
8. Review core changes. This will download a clean version of the version you are running currently. It will then compare that to your installed version and let you know which files have been altered from their original state.
   - a diff viewer is provided to show you the changes from the core file
   - a worklist is provided for you to store notes about the changes and any planned actions
   - YOU SHOULD REVIEW ALL OF THOSE CHANGES if any as they may break custom mods you have done to your store. After proceeding, during the upgrade(s), files will be tagged if they are replacing modified files ... again, review your core changes to be sure you dont break your store. Think about whether changes can be made in advance or if you need to follow up quickly afterwards.
9. Check for configuration duplicates and remove any found.
10. Review the update:
    - the actions the update will take are displayed
    - pay close attention to the files that will be replaced; you can access your worklist entries here
    - if necessary you can return to the core compare step to redisplay differences and make better notes of any followup actions
11. Start upgrading and read the upgrade results carefully.
    - copies are made of any updated files that had changes from core
12. After the upgrade is complete, the updater circles around to the next available update and you can plough straight on with comparing to core again. Your work list is kept.

Happy Upgrading!!

Note: This is not an official tool of the Phoenix Group, just Preston's contribution to the group. You can still upgrade the way you usually do if that suits you.

This addon will immediately redirect a customer to the product, if the product is the only one in the category.

EG a a category structure such as Fruit > Exotic
contains only a product called Bananas

If the user clicks Exotic, they would usually have to click a Bananas card to get to the actual product page.

With this hook installed, clicking Exotic, immediately redirects to Bananas.
