    help question Didn't use the override system and want to upgrade

    I know, shame on me. What would be the best solution? I was thinking about trying it rough and reinstalling the back up after...but I am not too sure.

    Am also wondering about a fresh install in an add on domain.

    My site is http://www.recycledbyhyena.com

    My zen cart version 1.3.7

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Default Re: Didn't use the override system and want to upgrade

    We see quite a few of these!

    Our approach is to use a file comparison tool like WinMerge or Beyond Compare to compare the site with a the original 1.3.7 (or 1.3.7.1).

    We then separate out all the files that have been changed and compare them to the 1.3.9 versions to merge any updates need for Zen Cart improvements.

    After that we move them to the appropriate override locations and apply them to a 1.3.9 site.

    Then we go back and upgrade the database.
