Hi

I've made a lot of changes to the front end of Jomsocial - currently on 3.05

I've used templates overrides for all changes which are working fine

If I upgrade to 3.1, will the overrides still be fine or are there any changes to the templating structure or functionality

(will back up obviously!)

Many thanks

Hi Mark,

Your overrides will remain once you upgrade but some of them my end up with outdated code as i'm sure there will be some files you have overridden that have changed between the 2 versions, 3.1 was a significant release .

As a guide on how to deal with this is if you get a list of the files in your override directory and use a tool like diff checker then compare the updated original in components/com_community/templates/default/ to the ones in the override directory yourtemplate/html/com_community and merge the files. unfortunately without using a version control system this can be a detailed task.

I hope this gives you a few pointers on how to proceed

Hi Paul

Many thanks for your reply and the link - I had been using WinMerge but that looks neater

Will just have to work patiently through it
