Tome Upgrade Instructions

Tome -- noun [tohm]

1. a book, esp. a very heavy, large, or learned book.
2. a volume forming a part of a larger work.

The Pages module is being renamed to Tome, pronounced tohm. The switch is a result of the now built in Pages module (beginning with EE 1.6.0). This also marks the beginning of the end for the Tome module. Users should attempt to develop using the built in functionality where ever possible. You’ll find that many of the features of Tome are already present in the built in module (and the missing ones may be patched up with an extension in the future).

Before you Upgrade

Be sure to back up your extensions, modules, plugins and languages folder as well as your MySQL database before migrating. Failure to do so may result in a critical loss of data.

1. Run the Updater

Stop: Do not run the updater if you are installing Tome for the first time. The updater is only needed if you have a copy of the Pages module installed prior to upgrading to 1.6.0

First, copy the update-pages.php file to your system directory. Then navigate to the update-pages.php file, usually located at your http://www.domain.com/system/update-pages.php, and run the update.

2. Remove the Pages Module

You may now safely remove the following files:

3. Upgrade to ExpressionEngine 1.6.0

Stop: Do not re-upload Mark Huot’s Pages module! EE 1.6 has it’s own module named Pages and doing so will overwrite the built in functionality.

Follow the instructions at http://www.expressionengine.com/docs/installation/update.html and be sure to run the update.php.

4. Install Tome

  1. Copy the modules/tome directory to your system/modules directory
  2. Copy the extensions/ext.tome.php file to your system/extensions directory
  3. Copy the language/english/lang.tome.php file to your system/language/english directory
  4. Copy the plugins/pi.static_tome_path.php file to your system/plugins directory
  5. Copy the plugins/pi.tome_results.php file to your system/plugins directory

Now you can log in to your new EE 1.6 CP and activate the Extension and the Module.
