How much effort to upgrade from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3?

Post by ZLA » Mon Jun 08, 2009 7:34 am

I need to develop a quote for my client. Can someone tell me how long it takes for the following:
  • Perform the pre and post upgrade tasks for the actual upgrade from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3?
  • Applying your 7.0.2 customizations to the new 7.0.3 base? (I realize this is very dependent on how much customizations there are but I would still appreciate any feedback.)
Thank you.

I can't find my earlier post on it, but I looked thru the files again and there are differences in a lot of the store pages. I had my settings wrong in BeyondCompare. :oops:

Hi Judy.

Since my site isn't highly customized yet, lots of changes in the core sections will just be a copy and replace for me. But I am curious how long it took to unpack and execute the Able Commerce files and scripts and such.

Thanks.

My AbleMods.com is completely unmodified. Took 15 minutes to upload files, unzip the files, delete the two pre-install requisites, copy/paste the new files and run the upgrade script. Upgrade went smooth as silk aside from the full-text search issue (since resolved).

Solunar.com took about 8 hours due to heavy modifications in the buyproductdialog and producthelper classes.

Like Joe says, it was that fast. Just make sure you read the upgrade instructions as far as what to delete from your existing install before you start.
