Keeping Changes after Plugin Updates

    I have figured out which files I have to reupload from my backup of Ready ECommerce that I need to reupload after each update.

    But just to make sure…

    Which files are typically affected after the updates? I would rather know which files I need to leave alone after each update and then just reupload everything else.

    Or is it better to just figure out which files I have changed and only overwrite them?

    One file I have changed is the orderdetails.php as I have cleaned up the order success email. But I have also changed the way checkout looks etc.

    Thanks.

    Hello.
    After each update any wordpress plugin, wordpress replace all your plugin local files to plugin files from wordpress repository. But, in our plugin, there is possibility to re-define template files for plugin if you need to make modifications for files, that are in any module folder views/tpl subfolder. To do this – just create folder “toe” in your wordpress theme, then – folder with module name, and put there your template file. For your case it will be in your theme folder toe/order/orderDetails.php – and this file will be used by plugin, and you can feel free to update plugin – your changes will be saved in theme folder. For more info – check this link https://docs.readyshoppingcart.com/creating-plugin-templates/

    Ok so the word toe/ replaces the word modules/ inside ready-ecommerce/ but you put whatever files you want to keep the same in that folder with the same folder setup.

    Do updates affect themes inside…
    ready-ecommerce/templates/standard/
    ?

    No, toe do not replace modules, as module folder contains all modules files, but you can replace only template files, please read article that I sent to you. Update of plugin – will affect to all plugin folder, but “toe” folder – should be not in plugin, but in theme folder (your wordpress enabled theme).
