How to Migrate your previous mediatypes.php mods

//census
setMediaType("census",$censuspath,"user/images/my_census.gif");
//original record scans
setMediaType("scan",$scanpath,"user/images/my_scans.gif");

3. Open your TNG 6.2.0 version of customconfig.php

4. Find your paths for the new mediatypes you added, for example

// new media type
$censuspath = "census";
$scanpath = "scans";
