NADA 4.3 provides bug fixes and a new theme. For an upgrade from version 4.2 to 4.3 there are no database schema changes.
To upgrade an instance of NADA 4.2, follow the steps:
- Backup your existing NADA website.
- Download NADA 4.3 from IHSN from here: http://ihsn.org/home/software/nada
- Unzip the NADA 4.3 to a temporary folder on your web server. e.g. nada_43_temp
You cannot use your NADA3 template in NADA4 without making some changes. Here are general guidelines but steps may differ depending on your nada site template.
Copy your NADA3 template to the NADA4 themes folder.
Edit the [nada4-root]/config/template.php following the steps below:
Look for the setting “theme_name”, by default it is set to ”wb”:
Change “wb” to the theme name you want to use. Theme name is the folder name you copied to [NADA4]/themes/[your-site-theme] from your nada3 site.
Save the file.
NB: The template may need some adjusting to run properly on the new NADA 4 site. This will involve editing the layout.php and other template files within the template folder which is now located in the NADA 4 themes folder.
