There is probably a way to modify the display without loosing your changes after each update but I would need to know what changes you did to say anythhing on that.

Each time I update, these files are overwritten and I must add the edits back to the new version of the file. I've...")* Hi Nicholas, below are the files and edits that I have to recreate on each update. In addition, I'd made minor edits to the **/language/en-GBen-GB.com\_hikashop.ini** file along with customer email responses which show on customer invoices, etc. All edits were rewritten by the update as well. It's not a huge problem because I know that it's going to happen, so I do the updates very late at night and have the files open and ready to edit. We're now getting a huge amount of traffic and orders, so I do worry a bit that something may go wrong. I've worked with Joomla for a while now, but I've had countless random and mysterious issues appear from updates that are unexplained. I, of course, back everything up before doing anything but it's still a concern. **Front End Style Edits: (Product and Category Title Edits to match template)** **/components/com\_hikashop/views/product/tmpl/show\_default.php** **LINE 19 - 23:** <div id="hikashop_product_top_part" class="hikashop_product_top_part **article-header**"> <?php if(!empty($this->element->extraData->topBegin)) { echo implode("\r\n",$this->element->extraData->topBegin); } ?> <h1 **class="title"**> **/components/com\_hikashop/views/category/tmpl/listing.php** **LINE 33:** $titleType='h1 **class="title"**'; **LINE 237:** <div id="<?php echo $this->params->get('main_div_name');?>" class="hikashop_category_information hikashop_categories_listing_main **article-header**"> **Stylesheet Edits: ( Product buttons, etc.)** **/public\_html/media/com\_hikashop/css/frontend\_default.css** **LINE 256:** /* cart buttons NAKE*/ **a.hikashop\_cart\_button, a.hikashop\_compare\_button, a.hikashop\_compare\_button:hover{color: #fff;text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.3); display: inline-block;margin: 0;overflow: visible;border: none;background-position: 100% 0;background-repeat: no-repeat;margin-left: 6px; color:#fff; font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:11px; padding:5px 8px; text-decoration:none; cursor:pointer; float:left; white-space:nowrap; border: 4px solid #e6e6e6; } a.hikashop\_cart\_button {background-image: url(../images/orange/button1.png);} a.hikashop\_cart\_button:hover{background-image: url(../images/orange/button3.png);} } a.hikashop\_cart\_button:hover, a.hikashop\_compare\_button:hover{ outline: 2px solid #f38a01; }** /* a.hikashop_cart_button, a.hikashop_cart_button:hover, a.hikashop_compare_button, a.hikashop_compare_button:hover{ background-image:url(../images/button.jpg); border:1px solid #356AA0; color:#000000; font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:11px; padding:5px 8px; text-decoration:none; cursor:pointer; float:left; white-space:nowrap; } a.hikashop_cart_button:hover, a.hikashop_compare_button:hover{ outline: 2px solid #92C1FF; } */ Last edit: 13 years 6 months ago by [Nat.Adams](/forum/user/12936-nat-adams "View Nat.Adams's Profile").

I've...")* Instead of editing the files directly, you should edit the view files via the menu Display->Views as we always recommend. That way, you won't loose your changes when you update HikaShop. For /components/com_hikashop/views/product/tmpl/show_default.php it's the file "show_default". For /components/com_hikashop/views/category/tmpl/listing.php it's the file "listing" of the view "category". For the CSS, you should edit it via the Display tab of the configuration. That way you won't loose your changes either.
