Hi

This might sound daft , but how do I update a plug-in? I downloaded a plug-in to one of my blogs today (serendipity_event_findmore) and noticed it had more options than a version I had put on an earlier blog. So I went to try and download this version for my other blog but all it offers me is the same older version, ie. without Facebook/Twitter on it. I can't figure out how to download the most recent version, have tried deleting/reinstalling the plugin and Spartacus but still get the same offering.

Regards

Updating plugins is typically just a matter of overwriting the old one with a newer version, which is what happens when updating via spartacus. Does spartacus report a newer version when you check for new plugins? What are the version numbers of the two different versions?

Hi Don

That's what I figured should happen. Spartacus doesn't report that there's a new version and looking at the version number it's the same, but new features have been added - Twitter/Facebook etc.

Here's what it's showing on the config panel:

Blog a:

Show links to services like Digg, Technorati, del.icio.us etc related to your entry.
You can remove/insert other custom services to link to via the "plugin_findmore.tpl" template file easily. Also remember that if you want to save grandma's performance pennies that you can also insert the HTML/JS snippets into your entries.tpl template file instead of using this plugin!
version: 1.13

Blog b:

Show links to services like Facebook, Digg, Technorati, del.icio.us etc related to your entry.

Someone probably forgot to increase the version number. Try downloading the plugin then use FTP to upload it instead of spartacus.

Hi Don, that fixed it. Many thanks for the help. George

I updated the version-number of the plugin in spartacus, so the error should be corrected for all old instances. Thanks for reporting!
