skinnybloke Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hi - a quick question regarding module upgrades. In the back-office > Modules section, what files are updated when I upgrade a module? I assume the files in /root/modules/modulename are updated, but are the tpl, js and css files in the theme updated? If the tpl, js and css files are updated, is this in the default theme only, the current live theme, or all themes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellini13 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) I assume the files in /root/modules/modulename are updated Correct, the module files including any tpl, js and css in that module folder are updated. but are the tpl, js and css files in the theme updated? No, not typically. You would really have to look at the module install function and determine if the module was coded to update any theme files. I suspect they would not do this.

mojweb Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Is there a way to see changelog for that modules (default presta modules)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinnybloke Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 I'm unaware of one but it would be useful: 1. Say what the changes are (Similar to Apple apps and wordpress) 2. Say which files have been modified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuk66 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 There are also files in /themes/your_theme/modules/your_module. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellini13 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 There are also files in /themes/your_theme/modules/your_module. But those are generally not included with modules, but rather with themes. So if you upgrade a module, the module would not replace the tpl, js and css files stored in the themes folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojweb Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 There are also files in /themes/your_theme/modules/your_module. If you mean changelog or readme files? This files are not helpful at all. For example blocktopmenu module. It was updated recently and one of big changes is new layout (class). This change is nowhere listed. So we must go to git and compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
