Updating a plugin 

Plugins are currently updated by uninstalling the old version and installing the new one.

Note
titleImportant notice

Doing this will delete all custom data a plugin may have been added to the database, if the plugin contains SQL statements to remove this data from database on uninstall.

When updates of a plugin should remain the custom data, a special plugin file should be used, which does not contain these delete statements in the uninstall file. Also the installation file could contain only special ALTER TABLE statements. Maybe this behaviour is changed in a further versionFor more informations please show at "Plugin" page with informations about version specific update sql files.

Uninstall plugins

Every time the plugin manager uninstalls a plugin, it is removed from database restless, changes for backend navigation database tables inclusively!
