Hi, I wonder what the best way would be to do an update from 1.03 to 1.04. it says just replace the files, but this means we would loose all global conficurations, all components we installed after etc. Does any one has a quick fix? Thanks
in my opinion, First of all, create a backup of the database and all files. Better safe than sorry. The patch only replaces core files which are changed because of bug or security fixes. Configuration.php is not overwritten, nor are the configuration settings in your database. Your components will work the same way they have always done. The only time you have to watch out if you changed core files yourself, also called a core hack. Most people don't do this, however.
