Version 5 - Notes and install instructions

Upgrading

***BIG WARNING***
You must disable any old copy of Taxonomy Treemenu. And UNINSTALL it too, if you see the option offered.

You must also remove and UNINSTALL any version of Taxonomy Router. It is not needed now (tested and confirmed as not necessary).

When you do this, you will destroy old menu information. Sorry, I'm not going to write the code to rescue that data. Because, first, most people are hanging on to see when this module comes good; second, treemenus are very easy to build; third, the move to Version 5 would involve a huge piece of code to upgrade data. If you don't want to destroy your existing data, don't upgrade.

Install the new BETA. And maybe post your thoughts (about how requesting destruction of user's data is irresponsible?).

About Version 5

One of those Question and Answer posts people make when they can't figure out how to say it properly...

Another Version!
Drupal recommendation - new stuff, new Version. Several module authors do not stick to this, for reasons of sanity. I do, therefore...

And another BETA!
Either the module just doesn't work very well for users (Version 4) or it changes too fast (most every other version). Sigh. One of them will stabilise. I keep hoping.

Why BETA this time?
I'm in a big development cycle. I write, build, and as I do, there's more to test, and without the full module in place, it's hard to test. So I drew a line round some functionality, and I'm putting it out.

If functionality looks unfinished, now you know why.

Why should I try it? Version 4 of this module was an unpleasant mess.

I always tried BETAs because I might help out?

Also, if you at all interested in this module, this version is going to supersede everything that went before. Comprehensively. It may be an BETA, but it has the simple delivery of Version 1 and 2, but the advanced features of Versions 3 and 4 are there, though not enabled yet.

That's more promising, but a bit retrogressive.
Have a look at the admin form. And maybe install the Advanced Help module (if you havn't got it already).

I'm still a bit wary.
You're not an BETA person then. Hang on until others try it for you.

Will you be around to help?
I'll do my best (which has not worked out recently)?
