September 30, 2014 \u2013 It is nice when things work out. I previously updated my N2LRB website to ExpressionEngine 2.9. But I was in a bit of a dilemma with the 2.2.2 version of the Saint Michael Academy website because I not only had to update the ExpressionEngine version but I also had to update the User add on from Solspace. I inquired online and found out that updating the website to EE 2.9 would break my current User version.<\/p>\n
User is my membership add on, which cost my $100 back in 2011. The default member database that comes with EE (ExpressionEngine) is terrible when it comes to having people fill out a form for later approval by the web admin. In order to fill out the form, people would need limited access to the control panel. And that\u2019s a no no. Which is why Solspace was able to create and make money from User.<\/p>\n
I thought I was looking at spending $85.00 for the current version of User. But I logged into Solspace using my user account and saw that I was allowed to download the current version of User at no cost to me!!! I was \u00a0happy camper. The next question was how to upgrade to EE 2.9. I liked how Updater from Dev Demon quickly updated my N2LRB website and I also learned how to do it via that experience. So I purchased another Dev DemonUpdater licensed, uploaded it and use it to update to EE 2.9.<\/p>\n
After updating to EE 2.9 I tested the User pages and nothing worked. I was getting page errors. I uploaded the new version of User by deleting the old version folders and after installing it via the Control Panel, I was relieved to see the Saint Michael Academy alumi come back up. The User update was a success!<\/p>\n
Now I consider updating my EE 1.6.9 \u00a0websites up to 2.9. I just don\u2019t know if it will cost my anything either in terms of money or loss functionality (going to Core?). \u00a0I have to post that very question up on the ExpressionEngine Website. But so far so good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
