Error description and message
Hello,

I currently running phpBB 3.09 and gallery 1.1.2. I'm using Automod to install 1.1.4 and after Automod unzips the file and select Install I get the error "AutoMOD has detected this MOD is already installed and cannot proceed."

I know I can manually go in and make the changes however I'd like to use Automod for consistency.

Anyone run into this problem and know how to resolve this?

Thanks.

Well I don't know much about AutoMOD, but seems like the easiest would be to uninstall the MOD in AutoMOD and afterwards install it again. But I do NOT know, whether this deletes all images. Maybe make a backup before you try that.

Feedback is appreciated.

You can uninstall the mod with automod which just removes the file edits thats all... it doesnt remove files or database entries.... so this is one option for people with automod...

What i like to do is IF the mod author has included an update file within the install file

Upload the complete new package into the same directory that the original gallery was uploaded to
ie

root/store/mods/gallery1.1.2

overwriting files here....

Then go into automod and find your existing installed gallery and click on "details"

then there will be some available changes

find the one that says update from x.x.x to x.x.x and click install this mod
(you may need to hover over the links and refer to the bottom of your screen to see the complete link to see if its the one you want... again depending on how the mod author as written the install file)

that will move all the files again and do any needed file mods

then run the install script and click on update gallery and this will update the database.... and your done.

However in the latest install.xml he has included an update from 1.0.6 to 1.1.1 and 1.1.3 to 1.1.4

not sure how to update from 1.1.1 or 1.1.2 to 1.1.3 or 4 ???

You may have to find some of the older packages and do this in steps.

I will try to change this, so it's easier.
Thanks for the manual!
