Commands:

create aro|aco <parent> <node>
Creates a new ACL object <node> under the parent specified by <parent>, an id/alias.
The <parent> and <node> references can be in one of the following formats:

• – <model>.<id> – The node will be bound to a specific record of the given model
• - <alias> – The node will be given a string alias (or path, in the case of <parent>),

i.e. ‘John’.  When used with <parent>, this takes the form of an alias path,
i.e. <group>/<subgroup>/<parent>.
To add a node at the root level, enter ‘root’ or ‘/’ as the <parent> parameter.

delete aro|aco <node>
Deletes the ACL object with the given <node> reference (see ‘create’ for info on node references).

setParent aro|aco <node> <parent>
Moves the ACL object specified by <node> beneath the parent ACL object specified by <parent>.
To identify the node and parent, use the row id.

getPath aro|aco <node>
Returns the path to the ACL object specified by <node>. This command is useful in determining the inhertiance of permissions for a certain object in the tree.

You can apply the same method to upgrading your WordPress plugins.

1. Log in to your web server and cd to the WordPress plugins directory:
cd httpdocs/wp-content/plugins
   Your syntax may vary depending on your server.
2. Download the new version of the plugin. In my case I’m upgrading the Social Homes plug in.
   wget http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/social-homes.2.3.zip
3. Back up your current plugin directory
   tar -zcvf social-homes.tar.gz social-homes
4. Unzip the zip file of the new version
   unzip social-homes.2.3.zip
   • You’ll be prompted to confirm you want to overwrite the files in the social-homes directory
     replace social-homes/COPYING.txt? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename:
   • Type ‘A’ and hit return to overwrite the old files with the new ones.
5. Log into WordPress to make sure the upgrade worked by going to the “Plugins” panel in the admin area.
6. Clean up your mess
   rm social-homes.2.3.zip
rm social-homes.tar.gz

You’re done. You’ve successfully upgraded your plugin. This process can be much faster than downloading the plugin to your local directory, deactivating it in WordPress and uploading the new one. Especially if the plugin is a large one.Similar Posts:
