[Vtigercrm-developers] Module manager - updating existing module

[socialboostdk]

Hi there,

I have a "silly question":

If i make and install a module version 1.0, is it possible to make it so
that when i later make a version 1.2 it will update the existing module?
Ie. also apply database-changes?

In "the old days" this was not possible (
https://wiki.vtiger.com/index.php/Module_Manager#Upgrade_Module) but is it
not today?

Thank you for your input :)

Hi again Chris,

As mentioned earlier, there are events triggered during module install.
Upgrade methods are triggered by

} else if($eventType == 'module.preupdate') {
// TODO Handle actions before this module is updated.
} else if($eventType == 'module.postupdate') {
// TODO Handle actions after this module is updated.

The developer of the module has to take care as illustrated in the above
snippet
