Read, how to update your existing BIGACE installation from Version 1.8.3.x to BIGACE 2.0

As I always pray, the Update is only supported from the last available stable release. If you do not use 1.8.3, you MUST update to 1.8.3 first!
Since the Versions 1.8.3.1, 1.8.3.2, 1.8.3.3 are only Bugfix releases, you do not have to update to those first, if you use 1.8.3!

ATTENTION

PLEASE NOTE: If you do not execute the Update in the given order (see below), your System might not be useable afterwards.

One last advise before we start: >> MAKE A FULL BACKUP OF FILESYSTEM AND DATABASE <<

Download and Install

You need to download two Packages from Sourceforge:

1. the ZIP Archive with the new BIGACE 2.0 Version
   
2. the Update Package "bigace_update_1.8.3-2.0.zip"

This second ZIP contains the following file structure:

• /misc/install/update/1.8.3_2.0_System
• /misc/updates/1.8.3_2.0_Consumer
• /misc/updates/2.0_2.0_Cleanup

Copy these directorys to your installation (and into the given folder structure)!

Step by Step Update

1. BACKUP THE FOLLOWING FILES*:
   • /system/config/consumer.ini
     
   • /system/config/config.system.php
     
2. EXECUTE THE UPDATE "BIGACE 2.0 (Core)"
3. COPY THE NEW VERSION ABOVE YOUR EXISTING INSTALLATION 
4. RE-INSERT THE BACKUP FILES FROM (1)* INTO YOUR NEW SYSTEM
5. CHANGE THE CONFIGURATION "admin/default.style" TO "standard"
6. EXECUTE THE UPDATE "BIGACE 2.0 (Consumer)" FOR EACH CONSUMER
7. EXECUTE THE UPDATE "BIGACE 2.0 (Cleanup)" FOR EACH CONSUMER 
8. EXECUTE THE UPDATE "UpdateConsumerFiles" FOR EACH CONSUMER
   

Modules

All installed Modules has to be updated manually! Call their Update, otherwise they might be broken or only work partially.
If you do not have the latest version of the Module (compatible with 2.0), look-out for a download at Sourceforge.

If you developed own Modules, you have to edit their translation files:
/consumer/cid{CID}/modul/moduleName/translation/modul.lang.php
/consumer/cid{CID}/modul/moduleName/translation/en/modul.lang.php

Please replace the keys:
 $LANG['modul_name_modulName'] by $LANG['name']
 $LANG['modul_title_modulName'] by $LANG['title']
 $LANG['modul_description_modulName'] by $LANG['description']
