Update from 1.0.0 to 1.0.x

If you have git installed, updating No-CMS to the newest version is going to be easy. As easy as you type: git fetch origin master

If you don't use git, you can just download the newest version and safely overwrite everything except:

/application/config/ directory
/.htaccess
/assets/kcfinder/config.php
/assets/grocery_crud/texteditor/ckeditor/config.js

Update from 0.7.5 to 1.0.0

No-CMS 1.0.0 use CodeIgniter 3.0.0 which is very different from CodeIgniter 2.x.x.

PS: Before do the update, please backup everything.

First of all, delete contains of these folders:

/application/core
/application/controllers
/application/models
/application/helpers
/application/libraries
/application/third_party
/modules/main
/modules/installer

Every controllers, models, helpers and libraries on every default modules (blog, contact_us, static_accessories, multisite)

Then you should override these:

/system
/assets
/application
/modules/main
/modules/installer
Every default modules

Then, follow these steps:

Create an empty file /application/config/constants.php
Update your modules:
- Use ucfirst for both class name and file name
- Rename CMS_Module_Info_Controller into CMS_Module
- Rename CMS_Priv_Strict_Controller into CMS_Controller
- Every modules should contains description.txt and controllers/Info.php you can take blog module as your reference.

Update /assets/kcfinder/config.php, modify the first lines into this (change {{ FCPATH }} with your current No-CMS installation directory's absolute path):

Migration to server

In case of you test No-CMS in local computer and want to upload it into public server, you need to change these parts:

RewriteBase in /.htaccess

RewriteBase should be / if you put No-CMS in top public directory (eg: If your web address is http://some_domain.com, then you should edit RewriteBase into RewriteBase /).

RewriteBase should be /your_folder if you put No-CMS inside a directory in your public directory (eg: If your web address is http://some_domain.com/portal/, then you should edit RewriteBase into RewriteBase /portal/)

Please consider that the RewriteBase entry is related to your URL not to your absolute path.

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteBase /
        # DO NOT MODIFY UNTIL "END OF DENY"
        # {{ DENY }}
        # {{ END OF DENY }}

        #Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
        #such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
        #request to index.php

        # multisite
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteRule ^site-([a-zA-Z0-9]*)$ index.php/?__cms_subsite=\$1 [L,QSA]
        RewriteRule ^site-([a-zA-Z0-9]*)/(.*)$ index.php/\$2?__cms_subsite=\$1 [L,QSA]

        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/\$1 [L,QSA]
    </IfModule>
    ...

Database configuration in /application/config/main/database.php.

If you are not sure about your database configuration, ask your hosting provider.

    $db['default'] = array(
        'dsn'        => 'mysql:host=127.0.0.1;port=3306;dbname=no_cms', // This will be used if you chose 'pdo' as your 'dbdriver'
        'hostname'   => '127.0.0.1', // database server IP Address/domain. Using IP Address usually improve performance
        'username'   => 'root', // database user (probably different from your CPanel login)
        'password'   => 'toor', // password to access database
        'database'   => 'no_cms', // the database schema provided by server
        'dbdriver'   => 'mysqli',
        'dbprefix'   => '',
        'pconnect'   => TRUE,
        'db_debug'   => TRUE,
        'cache_on'   => FALSE,
        'cachedir'   => '',
        'char_set'   => 'utf8',
        'dbcollat'   => 'utf8_general_ci',
        'swap_pre'   => '',
        'autoinit'   => TRUE,
        'encrypt'    => FALSE,
        'compress'   => FALSE,
        'stricton'   => FALSE,
        'failover'   => array()
    );

If you have multisite installed and have several sub-site, you should also modify database configuration for each subsite (application/config/site-*/database.php).
$hostname in hostname.php
$_BASE_URL and $_FCPATH in assets/kcfinder/config.php

$_BASE_URL should contains No-CMS url with trailing slash. So, if you access your website by using http://some_domain.com, the $_BASE_URL should contains http://some_domain.com

$_FCPATH should contains absolute path of your No-CMS installation folder with trailing slash. So your installation folder is /home/your_user/public_html, the $_FCPATH should contains /home/your_user/public_html/. If you are not sure about this, please ask your hosting provider.
```
    $_BASE_URL = 'http://some_domain.com/';
    $_FCPATH = '/home/your_user/public_html/';
```
BASE_URL in assets/grocery_crud/texteditor/ckeditor/config.js

BASE_URL should contains No-CMS url with trailing slash. So, if you access your website by using http://some_domain.com, the BASE_URL should contains http://some_domain.com
```
    var BASE_URL = 'http://some_domain.com/'
```
