Upgrading an old Loop installation

Loop release v1.2.0 has cleaned up the structure of the loopdk profile folder which makes it much easier to maintain new Loop installations and develop new modules.

However, special care must be taken when upgrading “old” installations.

Fixing the Drupal code registry

When upgrading Loop, Drupal 7's code registry must be updated to match the new module layout in the updated installation profile.

You may be able to rebuild the registry using the Drush module Registry Rebuild, but the easiest way to fix the registry is to load it from a clean Loop (v1.2.0) installation. A dump of the registry is available as loopdk.registry.sql.

To load this dump, jump into your Loop site directory (where settings.php sits) and run this command:

curl --location --silent https://raw.github.com/os2loop/upgrading-loop/master/loopdk.registry.sql | drush sql-cli

Upgrading the site

After sorting out the registry, you should be able to run

drush updatedb

to finish upgrading the Loop installation.

Apply patches

curl --silent https://www.drupal.org/files/issues/2649478-saml_sp-validation_of_signed_elements_fails-2.patch | patch --strip=1

Installing additional Loop modules

Finally, you should install some additional Loop modules to make the installation match the updated installation profile:

drush pm-enable loop_content loop_dashboard loop_friend_notification loop_instruction loop_profession_optional

Check out the notes on the Loop saml module if it's installed.

Cleaning up the menus

Go to /admin/structure/menu/manage/menu-loop-primary-menu and remove any manually added links to “admin/content/abuse”.
