- Upload your /includes/ktm/ folder to your remote website.
Note: As you can see, steps 4 and 5 are equal in all three procedures. That means, if you want to patch all files at once, you can just run these two steps at the end of all changes.
Conclusion
- For existing websites, these steps allow you to update all pages containing KTML-textareas at once, as only the necessary include files will be replaced. All you have to do is upload your ktm-folder to your remote website (see steps 4 and 5 of all described procedures). You don't even have to edit a single form page to apply the changed files.
- For new websites, it comes even better. Every page, containing an instance of KTML will automatically use the patched files.
- I've successfully done this with all my old and new sites. However, make backups of your files first!
I'll not guarantee, that this will work on all systems.
