Change code so it wont reset after prestashop update?

[avilet]

Hi prestashop guys,

 

i changed my customer registration form littlebit. After i updated to 1.6.1.9 the modifications were reset. Do i have to re-do my modificaitions after each update, or is there some more wiser method to do this, so the modifications will stay unchanged after update next time?

 

Thanks in advance

Yes, don't change php files directly, learn to use overrides.

You have to use the folder /overrides and then make a file with exactly the same name and same position of the "original" one. Inside the file you have to make a class with a bit different name than the "original" one.

E.g for class Product.php

<?php

class Product extends ProductCore{
  //Here you put your custom functions or overrides of existing ones
}

?>
