Updating textpages to version 20080807

If you have already created textpages in your gallery and are updating to version 20080807 from an earlier version, you need to follow the procedure below.

The actual textpage content was originally saved in a "description" attribute, but we have moved that to an independent "pageContent" attribute now. Therefore, you will need to move your actual textpage content from the description field to the new Content filed.

1. Log in to your admin, and select one of your textpages.

2. You will see there are now 3 fields instead of the 2 before: Title, Description and Content.

3. Cut the text from the Description field and paste it into your Content field. SAVE.

# Your description field can stay empty for textpages. It is only if you want a description in the main menu tooltip for the textpage.

Thx for instruction. Have you got any ideas how to update themes safely (i created copy of gardener with russian support) but you're adding new sections (for textpage for example) without notifying about changing in theme xml?

Unfortunately there is no easy solution to this while we updating frequently in beta. You can do what jhamrick suggests, and keep track of the changes, or use a program like beyondcompare. For some it may perhaps be easier simply to make a list of their "cumstomizations" - Then after updating all theme files, you can simply re-apply your customizations.

That is DEFINITELY the safest choice if you are unfamiliar with resolving files.
