Upgrade

  1. Back up the database. Member-entered handles live in xf_mc_social_profile; the platform catalogue lives in xf_mc_social_platform.
  2. Replace the contents of src/addons/MC/SocialProfiles/ with the new release.
  3. Navigate to AdminCP > Add-ons and click Upgrade next to [MC] Social Profiles.
  4. Run the upgrade steps when prompted.

What may change between versions​

  • New columns on the platform table (icon types, validation, URL patterns).
  • New seeded platforms. Existing platforms with the same platform_key are not overwritten.
  • New options. Existing options keep their values; new ones land at their default.

Patch releases are bug fixes only and are safe to apply without a backup, though one is still recommended. Minor releases may add options or per-platform fields. Major releases may rename or remove behaviour; migration notes ship with the release.
