'''IMPORTANT''': v2.4 of this application requires ADF 2.7.0 or greater and CommonSpot 11.0.0, 10.9.1 or 10.8.2 or greater.

== Overview ==
This guide is to upgrade the PT Page Rating v2.4 from v2.3. If you are updating from a version earlier than v2.3, please follow the [[PT_Page_Rating_Upgrade_v2.3|v2.3 Upgrade Guide]] before upgrading.

== ADF Application Code Review ==
This is only for reviewing the code 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 files 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_v2.3".
# Rename file "/ADF/apps/pt_page_rating_v2.3/appBeanConfig.cfm" to "/ADF/apps/pt_page_rating_v2.3/appBeanConfig.cfm.old".
# Move the PT Page Rating v2.4 app 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 files 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 functions that have been customized and compare them 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.

== Disabling the CCAPI ==
IMPORTANT: For CommonSpot 11.x or above. If you are using this app with CommonSpot 10.9.1 or 10.8.3 or below, '''DO NOT''' disable the CCAPI for this App!!

# Find your CCAPI conduit page for the profile App. This page is generally called 'ccapiProfile' built from the 'Blank Layout Template''.
## The ccapi.cfm file may be located in the '/webadmin/profile/' subsite.
# Once you find the CCAPI Conduit page that has the 'Profile' element on it, disable this page.
# In the '/_cs_apps/config/ccapi.cfm' file for the site remove the <Profile> node from the <elements> section of the XML block.
# Once completed, Reset the ADF.

Note: If no other CE nodes are listed in the <elements> node, other ADF CCAPI functions may still use the <wsVars> configuration information, so do not remove this file.

== Reset the ADF ==
