Upgrading with Developer's and Designer's Modes Enabled

[Roger A. Smith]

Every time I upgrade, I run into some problems because I have both Developer's Mode and Designer's Mode enabled.  Most recently, I lost my custom CSS updates when I upgraded.

Can someone please suggest the correct order of steps to follow when upgrading with Developer's Mode and Designer's Mode enabled?

Thanks.

Don't

Turn off both prior to upgrade.

 

Also the developer's mode files also have to be updated.

Here's the steps that seem to work for me:

• In the AdminCP, select "Customization" / "Themes"
• For each of the themes, click the down arrow and select "Advanced: Sync from File System"
• Edit the constants.php file in the root folder and change IN_DEV to FALSE
• Click the "System" icon in AdminCP then download and unzip the update.
• Use your FTP client to upload the updated files.
• Download the Developer Tools from https://community.invisionpower.com/files/file/7185-developer-tools/
• Use your FTP client to upload the Developer Tools files.
• Click the "Continue" button at the bottom of the "Upgrade IPS Community Suite" page.
• Edit the constants.php file in the root folder and change IN_DEV to TRUE
