Updating Versions 5.0.8 and Earlier

This section contains SQL patches (ALTER TABLE and the likes) from version 5.0.0 of TribalCMS to version 5.0.9.

To upgrade your CMS installation, you will need to apply every patch, in numerical order, starting from the version of your current installation. As soon as you have patched to version 5.0.9, you will then be able to use the automatic patcher in order to apply patches to the most recent version.

IMPORTANT: All database patches should be applied in order from top to bottom of the relevant page.

Applying the Patches

You will need to apply these queries to your new database. (If you wish, you can copy from the website and paste them locally.) If you are using the mysql console, go into it now:

mysql> use tribiqdb_5010

and then apply the patches:

mysql> ALTER TABLE.... (and so on)

Paste in the patches, a few at a time.

Check the response from your server. If your database is very large, some queries may take a few seconds to run.

If you see "cannot add...duplicate column" errors, don't worry; your database may already have some of the patches applied.

Automatic Patcher

As soon as you have applied up to version 5.0.9, you may use the automatic patcher to apply patches to the most recent version.
