Install.php problem.

Hey guyz, I dont know if I am the only experiencing this one or not. What I have observed in the install.php is that everytime I update one php file in vbulletin I need to reupload everything. Why this is happening?What is the problem?Anybody?

You posted this in the Submit New Article forum which is not the place to post questions. I moved it to the vB5 General Discussions area but really have no idea if this is regarding vB5 or vB4.

Anyway, update a PHP file in what way? And what do you mean you then need to reupload everything? I'm not understanding what you are trying to do at all.

Lynne thank you for moving it to VB5 General Discussions. Im a newbie in this site and I dont know where is the right place to ask question.

This is all about VB4 version xx. I updated the code meaning I added a simple if and else condition in the php file. In relation to "upload everything" it means everytime I update a single php or a small piece of code, I need to reupload the whole website. Is this correct?

Nope, that makes zero sense. Why do you have to reupload the whole website ?

we need more details. Which php file(s) are you modifying? Why do you feel like you need to reupload everything? Are you getting errors?

If you modify one file, you only need to upload that one modified file to the server, not the entire set of files. Additionally, it is usually better to try to use a plugin/hook instead of modifying a file. If you modify a file, then every time you upgrade the site, you will need to edit that file again.
