Prevent update from 1.6.0.9 to latest 1.6.x version

[prestBarka]

Hi,

We'd like to upgrade our prestashop from 1.6.0.9 to the latest 1.6.x version.

 

Before that, I'd like to be sure everything will be fine.

 

We never changed any class or controllers and only used override method. 

 

Is there anything else to check before the update ?

you likely want to look at 2 things

1) Any custom modules you have installed, and make sure they work on the PS v1.6.1.x line

2) If you installed a custom theme, which may have also installed custom modules, then you want to reach out to the theme author and make sure the theme and the modules will work properly for the PS v1.6.1.x line

 

If you are using the default bootstrap theme, then you will want to switch to the new default booktstrap theme after the upgrade is complete.  Other things to consider

1) Your overrides may need to be rewritten, depending on what you have done

2) Email templates and translations may need to be re-applied as well

 

And never perform an upgrade unless you know how to ...

1) Take complete backups of your website content and database.

2) Know how to restore from those backups when and if the upgrade fails.

3) I always suggest creating a test copy of your store in a sub folder (make sure you copy the database to a new database as well).  This proves that you can do #1 and #2 properly, and then you can test the upgrade of the store on the test copy.

Thank you !

Indeed I am using the default bootstrap theme.

I didn't really understand what you mean by : 

"1) Your overrides may need to be rewritten, depending on what you have done

2) Email templates and translations may need to be re-applied as well"

You stated that you never changed any class or controllers and only used override method.  So I am assuming you still have class/controller overrides, and that you may need to redo these overrides after you perform the upgrade. 

 

If you have made changes to email templates and/or translations, they may need to be redone as well.

Wow ok that's a big thing. Thank you.

 

If I update prestashop, modules will be updated as well or not ?

[bellini13]

it depends on which modules we are talking about.
