Version tag in the source files

Hi,
I'm upgrading my modified v1.3.6 to 1.3.7.

I have modified core files, so I need to merge the changes, I cannot just overwrite everything

Version tags("* @version 1.3.7") in php files are causing me some trouble. When I compare two folders, it looks like all files has been modifed whereas 99% of the time it is only 1 line change - the version number. I have to go through all files. Is it possible that @version tag is excluded from php files?

Hi,

We are just following Joomla's best practices on file headers: docs.joomla.org/Extensions_GPL_notices

With HikaShop, you can override all the views via the Display->Views menu. When you do your changes that way, you keep all your modifications after an update. Same for the CSS. If you edit it via the configuration->display interface, you won't loose your changes during an update.

So if you did your changes that way, you shouldn't loose anything when you update. That's the whole point of following joomla MVC structure: docs.joomla.org/Understanding_Output_Overrides

By the way, now I tried it and I was able to reproduce this also on the demo site(so it's not related to my template), change the name of the rubber duck to "rubberduckrubberduck" and you will see that the cross icon is party invisible in the cart.

Here is the change I made. It replaces "rubberduckrubberduck" with "rubberdu."

Feel free to include the code in your next release if you want:

/com_hikashop/views/product/tmpl/cart.php

(Below I replaced php opening/closing tags otherwise the code is not shown)

								<a href="?php echo hikashop::completeLink('product&task=show&cid='.$row->product_id.$url_itemid);?" >
								?php
									// Fixes the width proplem when the product name is too long
									// ------------
									$words = explode(" ", $row->product_name);
									$count = count($words);
									for($i=0; $i < $count; $i++) {
										if(strlen($words[$i]) < 10) {
											echo $words[$i];
										}
										else {
											echo substr($words[$i], 0, 9) . "."; 
										}
										if($i != ($count -1)) echo " ";
									}
									// ------------

You can go to Display->Views and edit the file cart of the view product. There, you can put your modification which will stay even after you update.
