Updating Xinha

Hi All,

I've been using Xinha in some of my projects, mainly because I love the built-in image-manager. All other WYSIWYG-editors lack that (or, in case of FCK they provide it but you have to buy it).

Now I've got a question. Whenever a new version of Xinha pops up, there are no instructions on how to update from the previous version. I think this is something that would really complete the "service"-aspect of the project. I am a little scared to simply overwrite files with the new version since I don't know if it will break or hold. I would love to be able to take advantage of new features such as the recently added safari-support though.

Is it possible to have a "changed files"-package for download, or documentation on how to update?

Re: Updating Xinha

Provided you are using a Xinha which has a file called XinhaCore.js in it's main directory then updating should be a simple matter of moving your old xinha directory out of the way somewhere, extracting the new xinha, and enjoying your new Xinha. 

We try to keep it backwards compatable.

Naturally, you should always test before putting it in production!!!

If your xinha directory does not have XinhaCore.js (it's quite an old version then) you can probably still just replace the old one with the new, but you might run into some small incompatabilities, maybe.

Re: Updating Xinha

Remember to clear your cache(s) when updating BTW.  Javascript files tend to get themselves stuck in cache (esp when loaded over XMLHttpRequest like in Xinha) so best idea is to clear cache and then restart browser.

Okay, It wasn't actually a question, it was more of a suggestion for the documentation, but thanks for the reply!
