Hello,

I have downloaded Taxonomy Access Control a little while ago. I found it in the "patches" section. I downloaded it - and found a webpage on how to configure it. I did some extensive structuring of my site - and the end result is phenomenal. Wonderful module! It seems to work well for me - but it is recommended that I upgrade as "my release it no longer supported".

It think that the one I downloaded is this one:
http://drupal.org/files/issues/taxonomy_access-HEAD-24.06.2008.zip

From this thread - post #52:
http://drupal.org/node/166080

So after reading the UPDATE.txt - this is what you do to upgrade.

1) Back up site folders and database.
2) Disable module.
3) Wipe TAC folder out .
4) Extract new TAC upgrade from tarchive (tar archive).
5) Enable module
6) Run update.php

However - I would really like to verify that following the instructions I listed here will not wipe out my structuring (Or will it?). My site is extensively segmented - and I would REALLY LIKE to avoid doing that again. Can this be avoided?

Consequently, I can't find that webpage with detailed instructions on segmenting a website with Taxonomy Access Control. If anyone knows it, could you please point it out for me?

Any support here is GREATLY appreciated,
Thanks in advance!

I took a look at the version you installed from the issue queue and there are hardly any differences in the code in the latest supported version for 6:

http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/taxonomy_access-6.x-1.x-dev.tar.gz

What I would do is just replace your taxonomy_access folder with the one from the above archive. You shouldn't need to disable the module or even run update.php.

It's always a good idea to create a backup of your database and drupal directory before any kind of upgrade.

Hey Great! Thanks!

Just wondering though - will it keep all my settings and segmenting. I know it relies on vocabulary, etc. which are Drupal functions. But I would just like to be totally sure.

Cheers!

Just to verify - I can do the same thing for the August 13th 6.x-1.x-dev version, yes?
Just replace the old taxonomy_access folder with the new taxonomy_access folder?

Can I do this for all future releases as well?

Thanks,

For this one, yeah that's fine.

Generally it's also a good idea to run /update.php on your drupal installation after any module and/or core upgrades as well in case there have been any database schema changes.
