Hi everyone,

Hello,

You will have to edit those files, there is no possible way to override them, you could create a new model but then again you have to edit other core files to used it.

I need the same, to override /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/*.php
Ive made a modification to a helper, and dont want to loose the changes every time i update VM.
Any way to override files in there?

No. We don't support hacking core files because they will get overwritten. Changes to core functions should be done by using a plugin - that does not get overwritten.

Thanks Maxim! Ive checked the Dev portal, and i think i will spend to much time making a plugin, just for a  simple mod... so i will wait for next release and hope it is included
