Admin New Order includes an installation / upgrade script and a removal script. These script will handle the process of installing, upgrading, and removing Admin New Order. You should not run any SQL files from older versions of Admin New Order.

DO NOT RUN OLDER VERSIONS OF THE INSTALL/UPGRADE SQL FILES when installing or upgrading!!!!!!
Doing so will cause issues with the installation and may cause Admin New Order to not function as expected.

Do you use any other Zen Cart modules? If you do make sure you read the Integration with Other Modules section for special instructions regarding the installation of Admin New Order PRIOR TO UPLOADING any files to your store.

Step by Step Installation Instructions

1. Pre - Installation.
   1. Backup your Zen Cart installation and database. Best practice is to keep regular backups and perform a manual backup prior to the installation or modification of any portion of Zen Cart.
      You can use Secure FTP to backup the files. Two well known FTP programs are WinSCP and FileZilla.
      You can backup the MySQL database either using a tool such as PhpMyAdmin or from the Zen Cart admin interface using DrByte's Backup MYSQL Plugin
   2. Unzip the package contents to a temporary directory on your computer.
      For the rest of these instructions we will refer to this location as "/temp".
2. Modified Core Files. ("/temp/1_modified_core_files_150") and ("/temp/1_modified_core_files_151")
   Because these files are modified versions of core Zen Cart files and will impact your store and potentially other plugins, they have been separated from the new files added by this plugin for easy identification.
   1. Determine which version of Zen Cart is installed and running on your store.
      1. If you are running Zen Cart 1.5.0 you can delete "/temp/1_modified_core_files_151".
         For the rest of this installation Modified Core Files refers to "/temp/1_modified_core_files_150".
      2. If you are running Zen Cart 1.5.1 you can delete "/temp/1_modified_core_files_150".
         For the rest of this installation Modified Core Files refers to "/temp/1_modified_core_files_151".
   2. Rename the "your_admin_folder" folder (inside the "Modified Core Files" folder) to match the name of your store's admin folder.
   3. If you have installed any other plugins or modifications to your Zen Cart installation which make changes to any of the Modified Core Files you will need to use a tool like Winmerge or Beyond Compare to incorporate those changes into these files.
      If you use "Admin New Customer" make sure you read the Integration with Other Modules section before uploading.
   4. Upload all of the folders and files inside the Modified Core Files folder to the location of your Zen Cart installation. The directory structure should match your store's directory structure.
      Do not upload the "1_modified_core_files_xxx" folder to your store, just the files and folders inside the Modified Core Files directory.
3. New Files. ("/temp/2_new_files")
   These files do not include modifications to any core Zen Cart files. We will be adding these new files to Zen Cart as part of the installation of Admin New Order.
   1. Rename the "your_admin_folder" folder to match the name of your store's admin folder.
   2. If you have installed any other plugins or modifications to your Zen Cart installation which make changes to any of the New Files you will need to use a tool like Winmerge or Beyond Compare to incorporate those changes into these files.
   3. Upload all of the folders and files inside the New Files folder to the location of your Zen Cart installation. The directory structure should match your store's directory structure.
      Do not upload the "2_new_files" folder to your store, just the files and folders inside the New Files directory.
4. Install. ("/temp/3_install")
   These files trigger the installation or upgrade scripts included with Admin New Order to run inside the Zen Cart administrative interface.
   1. Log into the admin side of your Zen Cart installation using a web browser. Yes, log into your admin interface now before continuing.
      Failing to first login can result in you missing vital installation and error messages.
   2. Upload all of the folders and files inside the Install folder to the location of your Zen Cart installation. The directory structure should match your store's directory structure.
      Do not upload the "3_install" folder to your store, just the files and folders inside the Install directory.
   3. Click on ANY link in the admin interface (except new order). The "Admin Home" link is a good choice.
   4. Note any error or success messages which appear on the top of the site.
      • If all goes well it should report success.
      • If additional steps need to be performed, follow the instructions. When done go back to Install Step 3 (previous step).
        The previous step should start with the text "Click on ANY link" .

Admin New Order includes a removal script. This script will handle the process of un-installing Admin New Order. You should not run any SQL files from older versions of Admin New Order.

DO NOT RUN OLDER VERSIONS OF THE UN-INSTALL / REMOVAL SQL FILES when removing!!!!!!
Doing so will cause issues with the removal and afterwards may cause Zen Cart to not function as expected.

Step by Step Removal Instructions

1. Pre - Removal.
   1. Backup your Zen Cart installation and database. Best practice is to keep regular backups and perform a manual backup prior to the installation or modification of any portion of Zen Cart.
      You can use Secure FTP to backup the files. Two well known FTP programs are WinSCP and FileZilla.
      You can backup the MySQL database either using a tool such as PhpMyAdmin or from the Zen Cart admin interface using DrByte's Backup MYSQL Plugin
   2. Unzip the package contents to a temporary directory on your computer.
      For the rest of these instructions we will refer to this location as "/temp".
2. Un-Install. ("/temp/4_uninstall")
   These files trigger the removal scripts included with Admin New Order (these run inside the Zen Cart administrative interface).
   1. Log into the admin side of your Zen Cart installation using a web browser. Yes, log into your admin interface now before continuing.
      Failing to first login can result in you missing vital installation and error messages.
   2. Upload all of the folders and files inside the Un-Install folder to the location of your Zen Cart installation. The directory structure should match your store's directory structure.
      Do not upload the "5_uninstall" folder to your store, just the files and folders inside the Install directory.
   3. Click on ANY link in the admin interface (except new order). The "Admin Home" link is a good choice.
   4. Note any error or success messages which appear on the top of the site.
      • If all goes well it should report success.
      • If additional steps need to be performed, follow the instructions. When done go back to Install Step 3 (previous step).
        The previous step should start with the text "Click on ANY link" .
        
        If a file could not be deleted it is always better to correct permissions and allow the script to remove files. If you manually remove files the removal process may not ever be completed.
3. Cleanup Modified Core Files. ("/temp/1_modified_core_files_150") and ("/temp/1_modified_core_files_151")
   The un-installation script cannot automatically remove the alterations made to core Zen Cart files. These steps should aid you in undoing the changes.
   1. Determine which version of Zen Cart is installed and running on your store.
      1. If you are running Zen Cart 1.5.0 you can delete "/temp/1_modified_core_files_151".
         For the rest of this installation Modified Core Files refers to "/temp/1_modified_core_files_150".
      2. If you are running Zen Cart 1.5.1 you can delete "/temp/1_modified_core_files_150".
         For the rest of this installation Modified Core Files refers to "/temp/1_modified_core_files_151".
   2. Rename the "your_admin_folder" folder (inside the "Modified Core Files" folder) to "admin".
   3. Download a clean copy of your currently installed version of Zen Cart or locate a file backup made before Admin New Order was installed. Unzip the contents to a temporary directory on your computer.
      For the rest of these instructions we will refer to this location as "/clean".
   4. For each file found inside the Modified Core Files folder replace the file with the corresponding file from "/clean".
      The directory structure of both locations should be the same. You only need to copy individual files from "/clean" to "/temp/1_modified_core_files".
      Make sure you replace every file including those in folders underneath Modified Core Files folder.
   5. If you have installed any other plugins or modifications to your Zen Cart installation which make changes to any of the Modified Core Files you will need to use a tool like Winmerge or Beyond Compare to incorporate those changes into these files.
   6. Rename the "admin" folder to match the name of your store's admin folder.
   7. Upload all of the folders and files inside the Modified Core Files folder to the location of your Zen Cart installation. The directory structure should match your store's directory structure.
      Do not upload the "1_modified_core_files_xxx" folder to your store, just the files and folders inside the Modified Core Files directory.
