To replace Pliant skin with Mollio skin in FarCry 3.0.1
1. Rename project folder you used to create site with Pliant skin.
2. Create a new folder with old project name. (I'll call it farcry_project
for now)
3. Copy FarCry Mollio files into farcry_project folder (these files are
found in a zip file that was included with the FarCry 3.0.1 zip found on
farcrycms.org).
4. Edit Application.cfm and change application name to project folder name
(farcry_project).
5. Edit farcry_project/config/_serverSpecificVars.cfm
5a. Change DSN value to be correct with your project.
5b. Change application.url.webroot to reflect your project's need (if
running this site from an alias/virtualDirectory, place a value like such
"/myAlias". If running this site from the root domain, leave this value
blank).
5c. If needed update application.url.farcry as well.
NOTE: Mollio removed the concatenation of webroot and "/farcry" in this
config. So you may want to re-apply here depending on your setup...
example: application.url.farcry = application.url.webroot & "/farcry";
6. If you had already been uploading any images and/or files in FarCry make
sure to copy those over from the old project folder (<project>/www/images
AND <project>/www/files).
7. Any .cfm file modifications you've possibly made, you'll want to copy
those over as well (you'd know what I mean if you did).
8. Update the application scope (http://domain/index.cfm?updateapp=1)
-- NOTE: At this point you'll probably get an error stating that FarCry
can't find your old webskin files anymore... that's cause we're not done
just yet :). (We needed to update the application scope though in order to
continue).
9. Update content pages to reflect your new Mollio skins (There are two ways
to do this. See steps 9a and 9b for examples).
9a. If all you did was install a new site using Pliant and haven't edited
pages, just login to FarCry, edit the two HTML pages that come with Pliant
installer, and change the display method. Save and approve (Send content
item live).
9b. If you've actually created more pages, maybe created News & Events (and
possibly more) you'll need to update all of those content items' display
methods as well (to reflect the new Mollio webskin). You can do this using
the method shown in step 9a (edit each HTML item, NEWS, EVENTS, etc... and
change their display methods) or run a script to update them in the
database.
I've done this process several times since Mollio's release in FarCry 3.0.1
and have had much success (see
http://www.jeffcoughlin.com/blog/index.cfm/2006/4/10/FarCry-CMS-301-Released
).
I hope the above steps are helpful to you.
