Title: Abantecart Website SSL
Post by: mark on December 08, 2019, 01:18:40 PM
Just an observation... I am curious why the main abantecart.com Website is not secured with an SSL certificate?

There is no registration or information collected on main site, for that reason no SSL certificate was added.
There will be a major upgrade coming soon and we will be adding SSL for the main site as well.

The only option in your case is to cherry pick and merge your code with the upgraded one. The best practice is to make an extension with all your code changes so if AbanteCart makes any upgrade there are more chance that your custom code will work. I have learned this the hard way but that would be my advice to all developers who write custom code and would like to upgrade to latest version Besides, you can use that same extension for multiple projects  ;D

As you have made changes in core files which might change when there is a new update so its better to create your own custom extension like you can see abanteCart has some extensions by default so make one with your changes and when there is a new update for abanteCart your code won't be affected
read here http://marketplace.abantecart.com/extension-developer-help  and  https://abantecart.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOC/pages/17727622/Extension+s+Developer+Guide

For example payPal extension is not affected when AbanteCart makes new update as that code stays in separate directory and can interact with different table

You should create a new extension with all your changes then install it where ever you want and don't worry about AbanteCart's update
