Is there a different approach for updating the existing MOD ?

Thanks in advance

1) upload all files
2) import the product

thats it, you don't need to follow any other instructions

any advice?

vb 4.2.0 patch level2

If you're talking about the nav button, you'll need to add it manually for vb 4.2 since it uses the new navigation manager which the mod does not yet support.

I presently have 4.0.2.1 version.
What is involved in updating to this new 4.0.4 version ?
(I don't see this info in any of the readme or instructions)

Thanks

Same as installing it fresh, upload all the files in the upload directory, import the xml making sure to check the override checkbox.

I did so, but the button for the recommendation medals has not been created, the same for the thread that should contain the medals.
but with the old version everything was ok.
gives me an error. loading php, but I have not had time to read.
for the rest no problem

Spoke to squidsk about this but wondering if anyone has ever been able to get a medal to show only 1 time on the postbit, so you could issue the same medal numerous times and have it show up once on the postbit instead of how many times you issued it.

Would really appreciate any help with this as its doing my head in.
