Many people ask how to upgrade their JoomlaPack installation.

It's quite simple, really:

if you have JoomlaPack version 1.x:

  1. Uninstall
  2. Install the new version

if you have JoomlaPack version 2.x:

  • Just install the new version without uninstalling.

I see that many people look for information on how to upgrade sh404SEF. This Joomla extension is a component, which means it's like an application inside your Joomla site.

Most Joomla components have their own tables in the Joomla site database. This is where the settings and data that the component uses are stored. These tables are (normally) not deleted when you uninstall the component. In the case of sh404SEF they are not deleted when you uninstall. At least that is how the component is set up by default.

To put a box like this in your own site you have a few options.
