Hello
I'd like to upgrade Komento on our website from 1.7.4 into latest one.
In documentation page I can see that you advise to uninstall it 1st, than to install latest one.
On forums I'm seeing posts where you suggest to just install latest one over current Komento installation. Could you please answer my questions:

1. Which option is better and safer?

2. if I uninstall, will it remove modules as well?
I'm afraid that I would need to setup Komento related modules again, which i would like to avoid.

Except custom language file, I don't have any other Komento modifications.
I'm using Komento for letting users to comment Joomla articles and EasyBlog posts.

Thanks

Komento 1.7.4
Joomla 2.5.19
Hello Krx,

You can install Komento over the installed Komento - it will override the existing Komento components up to the latest. But if you have made adjustment or modification on the Komento core files, it will be override with the latest version of Komento. If you have made modifications it is best for you to make a backup of komento components.

About "will it remove modules as well?", I believe it is not. Komento component and modules are two different things. Komento updates only update the core files, but the settings is not affected.

I suggest to you to make a backup of your Komento components then updates Komento by overriding existing components. No need to uninstalled Komento component.

Hope this will help. If you have anymore question, please don't hesitate to ask us.
Thanks.

I had the same doubt, and found this topic, thanks.

By the way, I've just seen a new komento release and changelog http://stackideas.com/changelog/komento shows nothing.
