Any guideline for upgrading module from 1.6 to 1.7 ?

[dandumit]

Hello All,

I have 2 small modules that are working on 1.6 .  I plan to upgrade to 1.7 so I need to upgrade those too.

Is there any tutorial for upgrading ? for writing modules to be compatible with 1.6 and 1.7 as well ?

Thank you,

Daniel

There is no correct answer, because it depends on what exactly your module does.

Some modules might work without any upgrade, other like payment might be needed to re-code from scratch. Modules that work with front might need changes to they front part, but backoffice part might work without any change. Basically you have to investigate each module separately.

Thank you @simonas

From my understanding all backoffice has been migrated to symphony. and I was thinking that all related back-office objects/functions/methods are changed... I will start to test myself. I Was expecting that Presta to prepare a kind of module / migration / upgrade article.

Thank you,

The core backoffice is being converted to symfony piece by piece but due to the "don't change it if it works" syndrome, the backoffice module structure remains the same with the legacy 1.6. In front as Simonas mentioned you should convert it a lot as there is brand new template (Lego style in a few words - - blocks and some blocks that override the core respective ones)
