Hi,
I am trying to update from Chaos tool suite 6.x-1.x-dev (2009-apr-25) to the newest Ctools (1.2 or .dev same result) because I also use HS, and the HS-admin advised me to move to newer ctools to have HS working correct.

I tried updating smooth, but came into trouble, sorry for that.
1) I uploaded the newest Ctools and pressed update.php to organise the database again.
==> Issue one: After this my delegator is completely gone.
======> Had to copy delegator.info from my older ctools, it was missing from the install .tar file..

2) Now delegator is showing again in /admin/build/modules
==>Issue two: Delegator database tables missing after update.php
======> Had to insert delegator database tables again from my backup, they were missing after update.php

3) Now I have delegator again, and the database tables again, but the content of my custom build panel-page is not shown anymore!

Please suggest what to do.

Thanks a lot in advance for your reply!
Greetings,
Martijn

delegator module is completely gone and replaced by page manager. Read the CHANGELOG.txt

Hi Earl,
is there a upgrade-strategy for panels made through delegator? The content of my pages is gone while updating, the url is not found, and all panel-panes are gone.
Thanks for your quick reply!

greetings,
Martijn

Well, you're upgrading from a -dev version that's in between, so I'm not really sure if something went wrong or not due to that. But the upgrade should have been more or less automatic. Of course, you must upgrade Panels to the same version as CTools, because Panels is heavily dependent upon the CTools API. So if you didn't do that, that could be a big problem.

Make sure the page manager module is enabled. After update.php, all your pages and stuff should be at admin/build/pages.

Hi Earl, Yes Panels needs to be upgraded to. May be idea to make a package or install profile or something. Ctools, Panels, Hierarchical Select need to be synchronised to get it working. But now it works, except for a may be small panels issue, but I will put that in the panels issue queue.
Thanks for your support again!

An install profile won't help with updates, alas.

Hi earl, that's true off course..may be there needs to be made a dependency not only on module, but also on module version?
Can't figure out bug I am having though: http://drupal.org/node/637834

Panels actually implements hook_requirements to test CTools version for that reason. It's kind of clunky because Drupal really doesn't have any good version dependency stuff.
