I made this patch for easy upgrade from news module 1.63 to 1.64 by uploading modified files only instead of upload whole module ( 22MB ).

just overwrite modified files then update news module from admin panel.

i wish you could do it yesterday ))

can i use this to go from 1.62 to 1.64

Why not update from 1.63 to 1.66? :D

I'm slow I didn't know there was a 1.66. does it work this way too? i have XOOPS version 2.3.0

Yup, but it works only on 2.4+

thanks, i'll have my tech upgrade my XOOPS and then install

i've never done this before so bear with me

is the upgrade as easy as uploading to my ftp, overwrite the files then go to admin panel, install and update? and all my news items will still be there?

Yup, but make backup first.
