== fCommerce Go version and upgrades ==

The engine of the fCommerce Go module was built with the goal to not make any modifications whatsoever to X-Cart's core. As the result, the fCommerce Go installation wizard doesn't change any existing files in your X-Cart store; it only adds new files.

That allows us to make minor releases of the module every time we resolve a critical issue. And all the customers can replace their current version with a newer one.

{{Note|To check your fCommerce Go version, open the "VERSION.FACEBOOK_TAB" file in your X-Cart root directory. If the file does not exist, perhaps, you have the very first version of the module or the file has been deleted.}}

Below we will describe how you can upgrade your existing fCommerce Go to the latest version.

== Upgrading the fCommerce Go module ==

=== Upgrading by reinstalling ===

If you do not care about the fCommerce Go module settings (Settings -> Modules -> fCommerce Go -> Configure) and do not have a custom modification of fCommerce Go module, you can remove the module and make a fresh install.

'''To reinstall the module:'''

1. Make the full backup of your X-Cart store.

2. [[X-Cart:FCommerce_Go#Removal_steps|Remove the module]].

3. [[X-Cart:FCommerce_Go#Obtaining_latest_version|Download the new version]], make the fresh install and configure the installed module according to the manual.

The upgrade is completed.

=== Upgrading by overwriting certain files ===

If you would like to save your module settings and has the non-modified fCommerce Go module you can just rewrite the current files with new ones.

'''To upgrade by overwriting certain files:'''

1. Make the full backup of your X-Cart store.

2. Download the new version from the File Area, copy it to your server and unpack it.

3. Copy the new templates to the destination directory:

* "<x-cart>/skin1/modules/Facebook_Tab" for X-Cart 4.1.x-4.3.x

* "<x-cart>/skin/common_files/modules/Facebook_Tab" for X-Cart 4.4.x

4. Clear the cache.

=== Upgrading customized module ===

If you are using a customized fCommerce Go module, we recommend you to make the full re-installation and then apply the custom mods to the new version.
