Title: Virtuemart Upgrade?
Post by: Sidetrack_ca on August 17, 2012, 18:13:52 PM
When I upgrade to a new version of virtuemart will I lose all my modification in the en-GB.com_virtuemart.ini file?  Are those overwritten?  If they are is there a preferred method to backing up and restoring your changed files after an upgrade?

thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Hello,

Yes this is normal.

You can use j25 language override option that make the changes in override language folder. Is better from changing the original language files because every time you make a VM update or an update to language pack if you change the original files will be overwritten and you have to do it again, if you do it by override you can update language files without the need to change again the original files.

You can find a tutorial here

Hope it helps
