How to upgrade

First of all you need to upgrade TYPO3 to 6.x and migrate all DAM records to FAL. This task exceeds the scope of this documentation.

Update via Extension Manager
Run update script in Extension Manager
Adjust TypoScript
- Change TypoScript path
  - from plugin.tx_genericgallery_pi1.gallery
  - to plugin.tx_genericgallery.settings.gallery
- Change gallery settings to new specification
Update your templates to match fluid structure

See demos: /Configuration/TypoScript/Examples

Tip

Since version 1.0.0 Generic Gallery uses fluid as templating engine. This means you will need to recreate your templates when updating from previous versions.

It's still possible to use grouped elements. For example four items wrapped in a <div>. There's a view helper for that.

Tip

You will need to install EXT:filemetadata and EXT:metadata in order to use EXIF data

Update from 0.3.x to 0.4.0

First of all you need to upgrade TYPO3 to 6.x and migrate all DAM records to FAL. This task exceeds the scope of this documentation.

You will need to install EXT:filemetadata and EXT:metadata
Generic Gallery itself needs no DB migration but you will need to update yours TS and templates.
All ###DAM_* marker have been removed. Use custom markers instead.

Update from 0.3.3 to 0.3.4

Please make sure your non admin BE users still have access to all fields. You might need to change permissions of your BE user group.

Update from 0.3.2 to 0.3.3

As there has been some changes to the RTE (IRRE description field) processing you probably need to link your hyperlinks within the RTE text again. At least if you like to have proper (RealUrl aware) links and not wrong ones like: http://domain.com/index.php?id=123

Update from 0.2.0 to 0.3.0

Some template marker have changed to match extension marker naming more precise:

###WIDTH### to ###IMAGE\_WIDTH###
###HEIGHT### to ###IMAGE\_HEIGHT###

No other changes necessary, but recommended (TS option marker is more useful than damMarker ).
