Back to [[PT_Page_Rating|PT Page Rating]]

NOTE: v2.2 of this application is compatible with both '''ADF 1.8.x''' and '''ADF 2.0'''.

== Overview ==
This guide is to upgrade the PT Page Rating v2.2 from v2.1. If you are updating from a version earlier than v2.1, please follow the [[PT_Page_Rating_Upgrade_v2|v2.1 Upgrade Guide]] before upgrading.

== ADF Application Code Review ==
This is only for reviewing the code that is in the "/ADF/apps/" directory, not at the site level.

# Download the application from the Community project page.
# Unzip the application zip folder.
# Analyze the updated app code compared to the current app code on your server.
## Identify any customizations that you have made to the application code to make sure these are not overwritten by the app update.
## A great tool to use is Beyond Compare to compare the new and current file to identify the exact lines of code that have been changed.
# Once this is complete, then move your app customizations into the new app code package.

== Application Code ==
# Rename directory "/ADF/apps/pt_page_rating" to "/ADF/apps/pt_page_rating_v2.1".
# Rename file "/ADF/apps/pt_page_rating_v2.1/appBeanConfig.cfm" to "/ADF/apps/pt_page_rating_v2.1/appBeanConfig.cfm.old".
# Move the PT Page Rating v2.2 code into the "/ADF/apps/pt_page_rating/" directory.
# Reset the ADF

== Site Level Customizations Review ==
This is only for reviewing the site level customizations in the "/_cs_apps/pt_page_rating/" 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.

== Reset the ADF ==
