Hello; I installed (I guess that''s the right term) a plugin in my project using script/plugin install [github url] I understand the author has made some updates to his plugin. How does one replace old code with the newest version? Do I just run the install script again? Does it depend on the author''s code? The plugin does seem to have an uninstall.rb document, but it looks to be empty. Thanks for any pointers. Steve
You might try ''script/plugin update'' which is designed to do just that. Or look into ''piston'' which is a much more sophisticated plugin manager. Among other things it allows you to make local changes and keep those around as you upgrade.

Thanks a million for the tip. Hopefully that will take care of the short term need, but I will investigate both Piston and Braid. I''m grateful. Steve
Could be. I''ve never heard of braid, but then I''ve never had any need for piston either.
