Hi,

I currently have Beta 5.02 component & Beta 5 module on a Joomla 1.0.15 site.

I would like to upgrade to the 6.0.0 version of ZWeather.

Do I just uninstall the Beta 5 component & module then install the 6.0.0 component & module?

If I do that will it retain the weather locations I currently have?

Thanks for your help.

An uninstall will delete the zweather locations. You will need to backup the zweather table using phpmyadmin or some other mysql tool before uninstalling, then restore it after the re-install.

The other way is just to recreate your locations after the install. Version 6 made it a whole lot easier creating locations with lookups for all the fields, including a zipcode lookup for the lat/long values.
