Update Guide

From Sweet Tooth Magento Reward Points Wiki

This guide will help you update to a new version of Sweet Tooth through FTP access.

Update Sweet Tooth

To update Sweet Tooth, you will have to first follow the instructions for re-installing the module through your FTP server.
Important: If you're making the jump to Sweet Tooth 1.6 or later from an older version, be sure to follow the specific instructions link at the bottom of this page.

After Update

In any given update we may change our template, layout or translation files. If you have customized any of these files, you will likely want to merge the changes from the new version into your custom version.

1. If you customized Sweet Tooth design files.
   • If you have custom changes in:
     • rewards.xml (<your_package>/<your_theme>/layout/rewards.xml)
     • or any files in (<your_package>/<your_theme>/templates/rewards/)

   then review the Change Log for each change in version. Take interest in any design changes listed. This will help you know which files to check against your own modified files. (If any were modified)

2. Update your translation file if you have one. A list of new Magento translation entries can usually be found in the Change Log.
3. Important: Test, test, and test some more! There's no guarantee that your store will be compatible with the new changes, especially when you have many other extensions installed, so you should test all of your point rules thoroughly. If any problems occur that do not occur with an earlier version of Sweet Tooth. Then there has been a problem with the upgrade. Please report the issue, but also take the time to investigate the problem on your store thoroughly since 90% of the time the issue is related to your store's custom/configured behavior.

That's it! Clear cache, refresh your compilation if you have one, and enjoy your newly upgraded rewards Sweet Tooth!
