Hi,
I've not updated my CCP6 since first install back when it was first released. I have a few questions and issues:
1) I've hacked many different PHP files to produce customized results. Will I lose these changes if I update now? I've backed up the entire site, but don't remember now which files I tweaked... :-(
2) By running the installer.php (after doing the pre-update list of things to do), will this automatically give me the latest updates?
3) In the list of things to do before update, it mentions many SQL statements. How and where do I run these from? I can't see anywhere in the backend interface. Do I need to be accessing this from an SQL server? Pardon me for my ignorance... this part is not my area of expertise.
Lastly, I'm having issues with UPSP Webtools, which is why I'm asking the questions about updates after seeing posts on here about this. Basically, it is showing USPS rates just fine when the shipping address is international (non-US), but when the shipping address is US, it is only showing a default rate of $20. I've activated USPS Webtools in all the correct places as far as I can tell from other posts about this on this forum.
Many thanks in advance,
Martin

Answers to your questions are...
1) I've hacked many different PHP files to produce customized results. Will I lose these changes if I update now? I've backed up the entire site, but don't remember now which files I tweaked... :-(
If you modified the original source code for ccp then you might loose some of your changes. You might not loose all of them as not every file has been changed in an up date but not knowing which files you have changed would be hard to tell. Depending on you version some of the big changes are in CCP_Cart.php and CCP_Prod.php.
2) By running the installer.php (after doing the pre-update list of things to do), will this automatically give me the latest updates?
Depending on your version you will need to run the updates in the order they where released as the newer update need the changes which past updates created.
3) In the list of things to do before update, it mentions many SQL statements. How and where do I run these from? I can't see anywhere in the backend interface. Do I need to be accessing this from an SQL server? Pardon me for my ignorance... this part is not my area of expertise.
Sql statement can be ran from the admin screen in the Raw Database Admin at Home > Kryptronic Hybrid X Core > Database: Connections, Backups and Raw Admin > Raw Database Admin click on SQL Statement: Submit a Raw SQL Statement.
If you are using the extend zip code formate then it will fix that problem. The zip code problem is the only thing that I can remember as a problem for USPS at the moment.

Thanks, this helps somewhat!
I am aware of the extended ZIP code problem, but I've only been dealing with 4-digit Zips at the moment.
If you have any other ideas about where else I might look... as I said, it's bringing up international USPS rates just fine. It's only when the shipping address in in the US that it gives me the default shipping charge, indicating that there is a failure in the routine somewhere.

John is almost correct on this one. The installer will always install the latest version of everything that is available. There isn't a way to install a particular update.
One thing to check before you start. Make sure none of your category and product identifiers have spaces in them. If they do they will need to be changed.

Thanks, Dave!
