We'll add a hidden option in order to be able to change the code editor for future versions of HikaShop. Versioning won't be easy to add. It's not just a few lines of code you can add. So we won't be able to add it in the short term, but it's a good idea.

From my perspective it would only need the last 2 saves for those "oh no!" moments when you change something, break the internet and need an urgent 1 or 2 step roll-back. I can accept that this won't happen quickly ![;)](/media/kunena/emoticons/24.png ";)") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzUwLWZlYXR1cmUtcmVxdWVzdC84ODA0MDItZWRpdG9yLXBsdWdpbi1mb3ItZWRpdGluZy12aWV3cz90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[Jerome](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile")** - [![Jerome's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar80.png)](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/80-jerome) - HikaShop core developer Less More - Posts: 26400 - Thank you received: 4079 - - [](http://obsi.dev) - 11 years 17 hours ago [\#220438](#220438) by [Jerome](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile") Replied by *[Jerome](/forum/user/80-jerome "View Jerome's Profile")* on topic *[Editor plugin for editing views](/forum/50-feature-request/880402-editor-plugin-for-editing-views#220438 "-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.0 -- Joomla version -- : 3.4.5 -- PHP version -- : 5.6.8 I, like many others, use a code editor for our back-end work in Joomla!

But even if there is a "diff" function in PHP ; it requires special modules and it might not be available for all servers. [ php.net/manual/en/book.xdiff.php](http://php.net/manual/en/book.xdiff.php) So it means that we have to find a good "diff" lib ; most we found are not maintained anymore, might have issues with UTF8 support or does not support the diff3. The idea is to provide a tool to help the migration when the user have some view overrides. So he could apply his modifications in a more recent version of the view. For the moment we can't tell when that feature will be implemented but it is already in the TODO list. Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.
