Override problems

[Guest]

Our site has been repeatedly upgraded from 1.4 to now 1.6.0.14

 

We have installed and uninstalled many modules during that time as we have fine tuned our store

 

 I have noticed recenly problems with overrides

 

Often when uninstalling / resetting modules I get errors about overrides and when trying to install new modules I get message such as "Override already exists" which prevents the installation going any further

 

So, are ANY overrides required on a new install? Could i delete the overrides folder totally, and replace it with that from 1.6.014 download? Then if any module complains go back merge the old override file with the new one?

 

Or could this cause more problems - for example is there a list somewhere of what overrides the current installation is expecting to use?

Any thoughts from anyone?

On a fresh install? You can get rid of all of them So yeah you can replace it with a blank one. Make sure you clear cache afterwards

Thanks Nemo

 

Would it be safe to actually delete the whole overrides folder?  Or would i need to leave the folder structure in place with the "index.php" files

Don't delete the whole folder /override only the overrides added there (files except .htacess). I presume that you will need overrides, as they were in use in the past. In this case you should update them to, but an upgrade of your /theme and /modules using overrides should be had an upgrade for PS 1.6. too. If not you will see the errors when you activate debug modus. Step by step than you can upgrade your modules/theme.

 

In any case make a back-up of the whole /overrides folder before you delete something there.
