Sharon,

You should be fine when upgrading. I believe there were some changes to add fields to page_attachments but otherwise everything should work.

Step 1: Back up your database
Step 2: Back up your filesystem
Step 3: upgrade

There's no reason that updating the code would lose track of the page/ attachment association. I'm not sure if there are any gotchas. On what version of Radiant is this project?

Thanks for the reply Jason.

I was hoping someone had already been through the process with this
particular extension.

We have a large number of attachments saved this way (the files are
uploaded to sub folders of public\page_attachments via the extension and
referenced in the page attachment table within the database). it would
be a nightmare these were lost and I am just a bit worried that removing
the extension and reinstalling will require all of the images to be
reattached.

Has anyone gone through an upgrade of Page_Attachments and if so are
there any gotchas?

Many thanks

Sharon

I always just delete the extension files and reinstall. Something like
rm -rf vendor/extensions/my_ext
./script/extension install my_ext

It'll migrate up and update the static assets.  The only gotcha might
be if your extension was already a git submodule, but it doesn't sound
like it is.

We use the Page_Attachments extension for uploading graphics to our
website. We are currently using version 0.2 installed quite some time
ago through SVN.

I can find very detailed instructions for installing the extension via Github, but I am not sure on how to update an existing installation to the current version and would be grateful if someone could point me in
the right direction.

Thanks

Sharon
