#UPDATING DRUPAL CORE UPDATE#
Some modules will require an update to their database table(s). After they have updated successfully, you’ll be shown the following message. Once you’ve selected the modules you’d like to update, click the ‘Download these updates’ button and let Drupal do the rest. If the minor version number is any more than one, or if the major version has changed, it’s good practice to check the release notes on (a link is provided next to the Recommended Version number, as shown in Figure 4). General rule-of-thumb is if a module’s recommended release minor version number is incremented by 1 from your installed version, it will be safe to update it. It is important to check the recommended version number against the already-installed number. Once there, you can select the modules you’d like to update. (You can also navigate to the Extend page to view all currently installed modules) In your development site, go to the Extend tab (located in the administration navigation menu) and go to the Update page. Once the Development Mode has successfully changed, navigate to the Development Site.
#UPDATING DRUPAL CORE CODE#
SFTP mode enables the website’s code to be altered in an online dev environment, as opposed to Git mode where you must pull the repository to your local environment to alter any code. Once you have navigated to your project’s Dev page, ensure the Development Mode is switched to SFTP, not Git.
While this guide details the process for Drupal 8, the same workflow can be applied to Drupal 7 or WordPress sites. This guide describes the process for performing updates on contrib modules for a Drupal site hosted on the Pantheon platform. Afterwards, I felt others could use this same outline to assist with their own workflow, hence this blog post. The solution was to write our own guide for this process. While gathering resources to help them with the process, we found that, although Pantheon had documentation for Drupal core and contrib updates via Composer and/or Git, it didn’t have the process outlined for updated contrib modules via the Drupal administration GUI. They would eventually take over updates of both core and contrib modules for the site. Recently, we were helping a client get their Drupal 8 website set up for hosting on the Pantheon platform.
