'''IMPORTANT''': v4.5 of this application requires '''ADF 2.5''' or greater and CommonSpot 10.5.2 or 10.6.1 or greater.

== Overview ==
This guide for upgrading the PT Blog v4.5 application from v4.4. If upgrading from a lower version than v4.4, please follow the [[PT_Blog_Upgrade_Version_4.4_Upgrade|PT Blog Upgrade v4.4 Guide]] to validate your installation.

== Application Code ==
# Rename directory "/ADF/apps/pt_blog" to "/ADF/apps/pt_blog_v4_4".
# Rename file "/ADF/apps/pt_blog_v4_4/appBeanConfig.cfm" to "/ADF/apps/pt_blog_v4_4/appBeanConfig.cfm.old".
# Download the PT Blog v4.5 and extract the files and folder structure into the "/ADF/apps/pt_blog/" directory.
# [[Reset ADF|Reset the ADF]].

== Site Level Customizations Review ==
This is only for reviewing the site-level customizations in the "/_cs_apps/pt_blog/" directory, not in the ADF directory.

# Analyze the updated app code compared to the app customization code on your server.
## Identify any customizations that you have made to the application code to make sure these are updated with any functionality.
## Again, Beyond Compare is a good tool to compare the new and current file to identify the exact lines of code that have been changed.
## This is important for components that have customized functions to the site level "/_cs_apps/". The best practice is to identify the function that have been customized and compare with the new app function to identify any updates. A good help is to check the function comment header to see if any updates have been made.
# Once completed, Reset the ADF.

== Blog Dashboard Page Updates ==

Verify that the following update has been made (as per v4.1), if not follow the sets below:

On the page Blog Dashboard where Blog Posts are managed which has the "/ADF/apps/pt_blog/customcf/blog_dashboard.cfm" custom script:
# Update the DataSheet Results Filter for the Post2 (All Blog Posts) View:
## Modify the filter to be: Field = Posts2.BlogID; Operator = "equals"; Value = "request.blogMgr.blogid" (note: use the Expression button)

Posts2.BlogID "Equals" {request.blogMgr.blogid}
