Here some information to the Upgrade of an earlier
eNvolution
version:
This Upgrade can be activated when ever you want. It is examined during the Upgrades whether the tables and contents already are on the newest conditions. A change is thus accomplished only if necessary.
The following list shows, which changes were made since the version eNvo 1.1.0. This is to serve as additional decision making aid.
- Database modifications

replaced through Subjects-module |
- more News
- new Skins, absolutly try out. The up-to-date adjusted theme is not changed by the Upgrade. Over the admin-panel one of the new Skins can be selected:
- Envo-Sky
- Experience
- Michelangelo (the default-Skin of the actual eNvo-version)
- Subjects replace the old Sections-module. Subjects offers substantially more functionality and more comfort. An automatic assumption of old Sections- contents is not possible at present.
- Picture support with Web-Links and Downloads. Now also pictures can be used for description.
- Upload possibility for files and pictures. For this there is a preset central directory: html/upload. Each module has there its own sub-dir:
-
Subjects: html/upload/sub
-
Editor: html/upload/rte
-
Downloads: html/upload/dl
-
Web-Links: html/upload/wl
-
New config-files. All configuration files are placed central in the directory html/config, now. Because of some different config-files, their file-names have been changed:
-
System: env-config.php (old config.php)
-
config-old.php
-
Subjects: sub-config.php
-
Editor: rte-config.php
-
Downloads: dl-config.php
-
Web-Links: wl-config.php
- The config files for eNvo, the Editor and the Subjects-module will be able during the Installation/Upgrade produced and later over the admin-panel to be changed. Manual editing of these files is not necessary.
- Multilanguage.According to standard English, German, Italian and French are installed.
And naturally much was improved and changed in the program code. The system is faster, more stable and safer.
An Upgrade is absolutly recommended. But remember please:
Before upgrade it is neccessary to make a backup of your database.
We strove to leave the original installation as far as possible unaffected by this Upgrade.
If the new possibilities and the appearance are to be changed, this must be later adjusted in the new admin-panel. Some of this parts which have to be checked:
- The Blocks (Main-Menu, Admin-Menu, Block-Titles, etc.)
- Skin. The new theme-engine of Encompass
- Virtuell Blocksystem. Dynamic Blockadministration.
- Permission-System. There are some changes in the Group-Permissions. These cannot be adjusted over this Upgrade automatically without destroying existing rights.
- Admin-Panel. Perhaps some installed and missing modules have to include manually.
