Thank's")* Hi, The date is defined on the download date. When you install / update, it replace all the HikaShop files so the dates are all updated. The previously changed files override the default one, so your changes are still there, but you modified files are not up to date. You need to compare the files to see which modifications were made. Using a subversion is a good way to update, in case of problems, you can backup your website.

I think if no change have been made on local file , only Mysql back up is efficient for data/content ? right ?

Thank's")* Hi, If you didn't modified the core files, you just have to backup the database (all "#_hikashop_" tables), the "media/com_hikashop" folder and the "templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_hikashop" one (for the view overrides). For HikaSerial, it is the same kind but the "media/com_hikaserial" is not required except if you put some images into (for the plugin "attachserial"). All HikaSerial content is stored in "#_hikaserial_" tables. Regards, PS : The Joomla plugin table could be useful for parameters of some HikaShop plugins. --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.
