It will require implementing the preflight function of the Joomla installer to copy the files/folders in the correct folder of the template that is being used because the Joomla installer cannot do it itself but I don't see a problem with that.

However, we can't for the life of us figure out how to create a simple installer package for this ? All we did was edit some template view files. It's simple enough to manually FTP the files over but I would like to package this into a clean Joomla (or Hikashop) installer ? Does Hikashop support some sort of installer for template overrides ?

Thanks")* Hi, No. But you can do it with the preflight trigger of the Joomla installer as I explained previously. You can look at the European tax rules plugin if you need some basis: [ www.hikashop.com/support/2-uncategorised...html#doc\_tax\_package](https://www.hikashop.com/support/2-uncategorised/287-europe-vat-rules.html#doc_tax_package) That plugin uses the same principle, but instead of copying the files from the install folder of the plugin to the template view folder, it adds the European tax rules in the database. And copying a file from the plugin folder to the different templates on the website using JFile::copy: [ docs.joomla.org/How\_to\_use\_the\_filesystem\_package#Copy\_a\_file](https://docs.joomla.org/How_to_use_the_filesystem_package#Copy_a_file) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMwLWludGVncmF0aW9ucy84OTM0MzQtdmlldy1wYWNrYWdlP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/register) to join the conversation. - **[dyvel](/forum/user/39996-dyvel "View dyvel's Profile")** - [![dyvel's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/39996-dyvel "View dyvel's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/39996-dyvel) Less More - Posts: 88 - Thank you received: 20 - - 8 years 5 months ago - 8 years 5 months ago [\#293392](#293392) by [dyvel](/forum/user/39996-dyvel "View dyvel's Profile") Replied by *[dyvel](/forum/user/39996-dyvel "View dyvel's Profile")* on topic *[View package](/forum/30-integrations/893434-view-package#293392 "Hi Is is possible to create a Joomla installation package that will install new views for HikaShop & We created a series of new UIKIT views for Hikaship (yé!) but the programmer seems to find it more complex to create an installation package for this ?
