Paul C Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 The best option is to first compare your custom theme with the default prestashop theme from 1.2.1 (using a file comparison tool) - this will determine which files were modified - these are the files that you'll need to upgrade. The next step is to make a copy of the 1.4.4 default prestashop theme and then the last stage is to do a line-by-line comparison of the new default theme files and the modified ones you identified at the start and merge your changes - i.e. the tricky part Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be time to update my theme I think. Can you suggest a file comparison app? If I had know these were available when I was first doing up my store I woulld've used it, it would have made it much easier ETA: I have text wrangler, but going through each and every file is time-consuming, I know because I have done it before. IF there is one that can compare within a folder structure that would be best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul C Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I use WinMerge : http://winmerge.org/ you can either compare whole folders (including subfolders if you want) plus it supports exclusion rules - this means you can ignore version control files e.g. those created by version control systems. It's extremely handy when looking for important (relevant) bugfixes in the latest svn version Using the above it should make life a lot easier Have fun, Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
