@Hebsacker dont know what ‘set’ means, but i have modified azure’s .tpl, css etc. files

  • i probably also changed some .tpl files outside azure. how can i make all my changes will be restored, when i upgrade to 4.7?

@vanilla thunder, ahh you are making a point. thought you totally misunderstood my question :slight_smile: hehe. But i have changed a lot of things! but will it be good enough, to just replace my “azure” folder with the 4.7? didnt they make some changes in there, so they will be lost, when i replace the folder? and what if i made changes in tpl files outside the azure folder?

Hi @gnomic,

the template system, at least front end, uses a template override mechanism. That means, that every template file you have to change, shall go to a user specified template. With this, you don’t have to touch the original template and updates shall be safe. Are you familiar with this procedure or need more stuff to read? There’s a tutorial in oxidforge wiki to explain that.

Cheers

you should copy and rename your template folder and make it a child template of original Azure

there is a script to copy only modified templates from your current installation to a custom theme folder - after that transfer the original Azure to your shop

  • activate your child theme
  • do the updates
  • maybe you need to change some things in your custom template afterwards (newer functions etc.)

First of all: MAKE A BACKUP! (of ftp-files AND database) :slight_smile:

I would suggest to change your existing “old” shop first, make a child-theme as described in my link to theme management and upload the original Azure template. If this works, then start updating.
