This question has to do with using winmerge. I have never used it before and don't know what i am supposed to do in this step.

In the process for upgrading to Edit Orders 3.0.3, I skipped the process using Winmerge to compare the Required_Core_edits files (namely: compairing orders.php file in my site to the one in the require_core_edits forlder in v3.0.3)

The offline website in my lamp server appears to be working properly after the upgrade.

The only modifications I made to the origial zencart v1.3.9h setup was added:
1. Easy Populate 3.0.3 (this does not change any core files to the v1.3.9h)
2. Ty Tracker 2.3a (this does not overwrite any core files to v1.3.9h)
3. edit orders 1.5.3 (this required some modifications to the core file order.php file)

The question is:

I used Winmerge to compare the order.php file in my current website, with the orders.php file in the "2_Required_Core_Edits"
Winmerge indicates some differences.

So in Winmerge, do I just use the "Merge>Copy to Right" function to create this merged file for upload? (File on the left is current order.php file in my live site. The file on the right is orders.php file in edit orders 3.0.3)

What exactly happens to the file on the left when I do this?
(I did it, and then, compare the original orders.php file in my live website with the resulting merged order.php file. The two files are identical)

Is this the result that I am looking for in the comparison? (are the two files are supposed to be different?) (or, is using the orders.php file in the Require_core_edits to replace the order.php file in my live website the same thing as the merged fiel?)


I am Really lost. Please help.
Sorry but this support thread is not the right place to provide intructions on how to use Winmerge or any other file comparison program.. that said I do not use Winmerge (I prefer Beyond Compare) and couldn't help. I suggest searching on the forum or web for help using Winmerge..
