Automatic upgrade deleting my custom Mailpress themes

[Xanthur]

The last two upgrades of Mailpress (4.01 and 4.02) have completely
zapped any of my custom themes. Which causes lots of extra work. Any
chance you can fix that before your next upgrade?

Automatic upgrade delete all files of the plugins to replace them by the new ones.

So MailPress should not be upgraded automatically as long as you have some customized files in mp-content/themes

[andré renaut]

Automatic upgrade is a WP feature.

About your mailpress themes, i hope you followed the following guidelines :

One thing that might be easy to do is allow the custom theme to be
placed in the hierarchy of the wordpress theme. Shopp does that: you
place a folder named "shopp" in your wordpress theme folder and it
automatically uses that folder for it's theme, else it uses it's own
default theme in it's own folder. So, if we can put our custom theme
under folder name "mailpress" within our wordpress theme, then
automatically upgrading me be more viable! Thoughts?

Inside mp-includes/class/MP_Themes.class.php

    function get_theme_root()
    {
        return apply_filters('MailPress_theme_root', ABSPATH . MP_PATH ."mp-content/themes");
    }

....

or in a future version of mailpress you could add an options so we can
specify the path to the templates?

[andré renaut]

You can code your own specific add on defining the path using hook

'MailPress_theme_root'

updating will be as easy as using the wordpress update! You rock!
