We have documentation explaining that here: [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/6...tation.html#override](https://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/62-hikashop-developer-documentation.html#override) It's also possible to copy/paste the original class somewhere in your template and have it load before the default one or have your class extend the default one. Regarding the bootstrap choice, as you can see, it bases itself on the setting "bootstrap_design" So you could force that value yourself in the hikashop_config table. And you would want to also add the value in the dropdown of the HikaShop configuration with an override of the "display" file of the "config" view that you would put in the default template of the backend.

Here [ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/6...tation.html#override](https://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/62-hikashop-developer-documentation.html#override) is written: «You can do it by copying the file in administrator/components/com_hikashop/XXXX/yyy.php to templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_hikashop/admnistrator/XXXX.yyy.override.php (for the frontend)» An error was that between XXXX.yyy instead of "." should be slash. Class methods overriding happens even when it's initialized, and without including to the parent class, just like: Code: class hikashopImageHelperOverride { } That means without «include» and «extends».

But in that case you have to copy the full content of the class into your override and you have to be sure that, if the core class is updated (receive new functions) your override also include them. That's why, I would highly recommend to use the include + extends ; otherwise I am quite sure that you will have some issues with updates.
