Hi gang,<br /> I have 2 questions.<br /><br /> 1. Does fantastico update installed scripts? If a new version is released into the Fantastico systom, is there a way to update it in an automated way?<br /><br /> 2. I already installed Coppermine by hand. Is there a good way to get it into the Fantastico system? I checked and F. doesn't know about my gallery , which I assumed it wouldn't.<br /> <br /> Thanks.<!--content-->
Check the scripts site for newer versions than offered in Fantastico. Install it through Fantastico and if <br />Fantastico does not offer to upgrade you will have to upgrade manually. <br /><br />Based on the scripts I have tried in Fantastico (and from reading about it), Fantastico is an easy way to install/uninstall scripts, but I have had to do my own upgrades. It has been pointed out to me that Coppermine installed with Fantastico does notify when its necessary to update. <br /><br />Scripts installed manually do not appear in Fantastico. A Zen Cart manual install that I was working with a while back does not register as installed because Fantastico did not do it.<!--content-->

Awesome, thanks for the code and clear instructions, Dick. Good point about the version differences too, Sammi.<!--content-->
