Ultimate SEO URLs

[knutsford-software]

I am using 1.3. 9 and I am thinking of installing Ultimate SEO URLs. It says to change product.php and category.php in the admin library. Won't that mean changing the core files? Can I create a template library and put my version of the two files under there instead?


Thanks

No, admin files aren't overridable.

Thought so. I had better check then if the designer still wants it doing. I suspect not if upgrades will mean doing the admin change again.

Yes, upgrades/updates will require the changes to be done again.

You can create an "overrides" folder and save a copy of your changes just as you would when doing a real override. Major difference: the override won't be used in the admin and you'll also have to save the changes to the core file. You could also save the original file to a folder (say /orig) so you have an "untouched" version that you can go back to if necessary.

Saving a copy of your changes to an "overrides" folder will make future updates/upgrades a little easier to deal with.

This is not really much different from overrideable files, as if there are changes to the base file, they will need to be compared and merged in any case. If no changes, simply replacing the new version copy with your "/override/" copy as afo suggests will take care of it immediately.
