Feld0 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I decided to give the auto-upgrader a chance for the latest round of maintenance upgrades, and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth the process was! Really love what you've done here, IPS devs. :thumbsup: I had only one gripe with the process... it overwrote my favicons! :ohmy: I had to manually upload those back to my server after the auto-upgrade, which put a damper on the experience. If you could tweak the upgrader to skip uploading the default favicon.ico, that would be a small, but very appreciated, improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I had only one gripe with the process... it overwrote my favicons! :ohmy: I had to manually upload those back to my server after the auto-upgrade, which put a damper on the experience. I got tired of losing my favicon files long ago so what I did was this.. I removed all write permissions on them. Of course, I think that could cause the upgrader to fart out because that would throw an error during the process when trying to overwrite it. But for the way I do things, I don't have to worry about forgetting anymore because they're protected. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerboat Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Hi, I'll second that. Could you prevent the disappearance of: Favicon Meta_image Meta description The last two effect how posts from the forums on facebook appear. When you have several licensed sites (Hint!!) it can be a pain to have to manually FTP all of the icons again after each auto upgrade!

Wolfie Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Another alternative is to redirect references to favicon.ico to load a different file instead. :) In the ACP, can set it to use custom files instead of the default, so no need to worry about meta images being overwritten. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
