Question regarding automatic upgrade package 3.3.3 to 3.3.4

Post by Darloup »

Hello,

My forum is current running under 3.3.3.

Since I made some necessary (but few) modifications in 1 or 2 core files, I have therefore decided to use the automatic upgrade method.

I downloaded the automatic upgrade package from 3.3.3 to 3.3.4 and unzipped it.

I noticed that there was a hefty /docs folder in it.

The instructions on this page of this forum https://www.phpbb.com/support/documents ... pdate_auto (point 4.iv. Automatic update package) clearly state that:
only the install/ and vendor/ folders are required
In which case, may I ask what I am supposed to do this the /docs folder? And if it's not needed, why is it included in the package?

With my anticipated thanks for your help!

Best regards,

Henry

The docs folder just contains phpBB documentation. It's not needed.

The easiest thing to do is use the full package and merge your edits into the new files.

Winmerge can be used for this, Notepad++ plus also has a plugin for this.
