Detecting Mods

Is there an easy way to find out what mods have been done to a Zen Cart installation?

Not exactly. If you know what a stock installation (or the stock version of an installed template) looks like, you can spot some mods right away. Mostly, you would need to do a file compare vs. a clean set of files for the same version with Winmerge to see what files are different, then examine those files for heading notes. Mods should have the mod title and author info in their customized files.
A majority of mods will use the template override system (some cannot), so that mod files will be in /your_template/ subfolders, whatever your template name is.

Ok thanks. I'm taking over a site that was done by someone else that has had lots of mods. It's an outdated version of Zen Cart that needs to be updated so I guess it's just a matter of spending the time comparing files as I update.
