  • Usage

    To configure, go to Add-Ons > Modules in your EE control panel, and find the add-on. You’ll see a long list of configuration parameters, many of which you can modify. Be sure to click Update Settings after making changes.

    Note:

    • Hop Deeploy Helper is a very powerful tool. It works in our tests, and it’s worked for many other EE developers who have used it. But because it directly updates system settings tables in your EE database, this tool has the potential to damage your installation. You should only use it if you know why you’re using it, and you should always backup your system before you use it.
    • The current version of Hop Deeploy Helper does not test the validity of input parameters. For example, it does not verify that filesystem paths exist and are writeable. You can’t take the previous bullet point too seriously!
  • DB Restore Utility

    This page will display all the database backups from the EE backup tool (system/user/cache). You can click and restore any backups. ** We recommend backing up the database before running the restore!

  • EE 3 & 4 Special File Upload Preferences

    File Upload Preferences (Default Avatars), File Upload Preferences (Member Photos) and File Upload Preferences (Signature Attachments) are not changeable directly in EE. However, we want to offer you the possibility to change them if ever needed but please be careful when changing those.

    If you had previously installed the legacy version of Deeploy helper (directory: deeploy_helper), please un-install and upload the new one (directory: hop_deeploy_helper) to re-install.
