I have made changes to my includes/classes/order.php file to include more information from the database in the order confirmation email. I am not worried about the php or sql changes. However, I have a new zenner terror of saving these changes in the wrong place and mucking up my site when I upgrade (I'm currently at 1.3.8). Should I be saving this in a template file somewhere (please tell me the path if I should!)? Or do I just overwrite the order.php file and remember that I've changed it?
Thanks very much,
R. Barnes

Re: Where do I save changes to orders.php?
Files in /includes/classes are not overrideable. Just make your edits to the files directly. Then when you're upgrading, be sure to merge your changes into the new version if they're still needed.
Or, better yet, make your alterations by hooking notifier points instead of editing the class files at all..

Thanks. I have no idea what "hooking notifier points" means. It sounds like something that could get me arrested.

The basics of coding customizations to use built-in hooks instead of hacking up core code is discussed here: http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.p...Observer_Class
