Updating CB Boss Lite

Updating version 1.1L to 1.2LR

There was a configuration change between these versions that you'll need to adjust in your cb_boss_config.php file.

Step 1: Add a new variable to cb_boss_config.php.

• Download your current cb_boss_config.php file from your server and load into your favorite editor.
• Unzip the current version and load that versions' cb_boss_config.php file into your editor.
• Looking in the current versions' (not the one you've downloaded) cb_boss_config.php file, locate the variable  $cb_boss_config['use_rewrite']; it should look like the code below:
  

  // **** Added CB Boss 1.2LR ****
  // set to 1 for mod rewrite (sef) style links
  $cb_boss_config['use_rewrite'] = '0';

• Copy and paste the code from the current versions cb_boss_config.php file (or the code above) into your cb_boss_config.php file (the one you've dowloaded) to a similar location within your file.
• Set the value to 1 for rewritten (SEF) URLs (using care to not disturb the single quotes that surround the value) or leave as is for normal URLs.
  
  EX:

  $cb_boss_config['use_rewrite'] = '1'; 
   

• Now save and upload to your server.

Step 2: Update all files.

• Using care not to overwrite the cb_boss_config.php file on your server, upload everything else from the new package and overwrite the files on your server.
• Check your site for errors.

 

Updating version 1.2LR to 1.3LR

There were two new variables added to the configuration that you'll need to adjust in your cb_boss_config.php file.

Step 1: Add two new variables to cb_boss_config.php.

• Download your current cb_boss_config.php file and load into your favorite editor.
• Unzip the current version and load that versions' cb_boss_config.php file into your editor.
• Looking in the current versions' cb_boss_config.php file, find the variable  $cb_boss_config['use_rewrite']; it should look like the code below:
  
  

  // **** Added CB Boss 1.3LR ****
  //
  // Used to display vendor images
  // set to 2 for display images only when found.
  // set to 1 for display of images (always - show the default no_image.gif image)
  // set to 0 for no images
  $cb_boss_config['use_images']  =  '2'; 
      
  // ... the max number for the interest meter scale     
  // range is: 25 - 1000  - (25 - 250 for best results)
  $cb_boss_config['max_interest']=  '40';

• Copy and paste the code from the current cb_boss_config.php file ( or the code above ) into your cb_boss_config.php file and to a similar location within that file or just under the $cb_boss_config['use_rewrite'] variable.
• You can leave the values as they are.
• Now save and upload to your server.

Step 2: Update all files.

• Using care not to overwrite the cb_boss_config.php file on your server, upload everything else from the latest package, overwriting all other CB Boss files on your server.
• Check your site for errors.

That should do it. If you have any trouble with this update process, then check our forum for a solution or to ask for assistance.
