Hello,
I am relatively new to AbanteCart and webpage development in general. I have set up my e-commerce site using the existing code and configuration tools 9e.g. layout, blocks, modification of language definitions to change text mesages etc. However, there have been a few instances where changes via the admin interface are not sufficient to get the look I want. For example, I have modified the file:
public_html/AbanteCart /storefront/view/default/template/pages/product/product.tpl.
in order to show the available amount of inventory for the given product.
In searching through the file structure for abantecart, I see that there are some files (e.g. category.php ) which has the following note at the top :
UPGRADE NOTE:
Do not edit or add to this file if you wish to upgrade AbanteCart to newer
versions in the future. If you wish to customize AbanteCart for your
needs please refer to http://www.AbanteCart.com for more information.However, i do not see this message on all files - so I'm wondering if someone could help answer the following:
A) which, if any, file changes survive upgrade?
B) If File modifications like the one above do not survive upgrades, how does one go about making changes in a way that will survive upgrade?
(BTW, the above comments suggest going to
www.AbanteCart.com to find out, but I'm not sure where on
www.AbanteCart.com I should be looking for info on customizing my AbanteCart instance.)
Thanks
