4.2.0 manual update instructions

Omeka S Installing

Hi, I think the instructions found in Installing - Omeka S User Manual could be completed by adding optional steps in case the .htaccess file has been modified (development mode for example).

CleanURL users: don’t forget to backup/restore the file /config/cleanurl.config.php along with the files /config/local.config.php and /config/database.ini

If you had the Buttons "Previous/Next" checked in the admin/setting page before upgrading to 4.2.0, you may encounter an error when clicking on an item in the admin/item view.

To solve the issue:

  1. uncheck the option Buttons "Previous/Next"
  2. click Save
  3. check the option Buttons "Previous/Next"
  4. click Save again.

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ve added a mention of the .htaccess file.

Thanks, i updated my module CleanUrl 3.17.11 and removed this file. So there will be no more issues now (and i fixed all the remaining issues on gitlab and github).

In fact, i needed it too to simplify the module in order to manage the future composer way to install modules and themes (a simple composer require xxx).
