That was what I meant by "upgrade" in my previous posts. But I guess I should call it migrating the application to the newer version instead, if that's what you are suggesting.
I would very much like to do that. But I have the most slimest idea about cakephp. I can use the scripts made by others, do some search/ modify of php to suit my needs on the very basic level. I know basic php. Would you be able to point me to the right direction as to where to start building the store on new version? I tried to use the complete new version of cake, and use the the magnik app folder to "merged into" the app folder, so that I have a new core (\cake), and modified \app folder, hopefully with all the files to suit the new core. But obviously, it was not easy since a lot of modifications have been made between the two versions, plus magnik app has a lot more code in it. My php level is simply not enough to manage it. Is that what you would do to "create a store from scrach using magnik and a current build of cakephp"? Or am I just using a completely wrong way and driving myself crazy? Your advice will be greatly appreciated!
