Upgrading to a higher version of web2py through the admin interface

[mostwanted]

Hi guys, is it safe to upgrade my version of web2py through the admin interface? Has anyone tried it & did it work?

I have an opp developed in an older version of web2py, some functions are not working on it like callback=URL() but in my research it says the functionality works well in newer versions, when I try to upgrade there is a disclaimer that I should do it at my own risk!!!. My app is already online & being utilised so i dont wanna risk anything thats go mess it up.

Regards;

I've been using Web2py on PythonAnywhere for several years and I have always upgraded via the admin interface without any problems. I'm currently on version 2.21.1.

Then test it very carefully in a test environment before you do it to your live system, and have a backup of the live environment before you start, that you know works, so that when it all goes pear-shaped, you have a method to go back to where you were.

I also use pythonannywhere and regularly upgrade with no issues. If being cautious, just backup then upgrade.

Thank you guys, I was able to upgrade to version 2.21 & there were no issues (smiles)...but i'm still experiencing the problem with my callback function

it is still redirecting  to the url page, what am I doing wrong??!!!

{{=A("view codes", callback=URL('ppadb_codes.load', args=company.id), target="content", _class="show_codes")}}, 

<div class="codes">
