Hi!

Just wondering. I have uploaded images, css files and third party js files to my skin directory. When the skin is updated they are lost and have to be reuploaded. I have tried to upload images for example throu admin image support, but the are not transfered to the new skin version. Is there a workaround for this somehow that I can do from my end, so all addon files will follow along to next version? Kindest regards

clone the skin and make alterations to your cloned skin.

ACP -> TOOLS -> DEVELOPER TOOLS -> TOOLS -> CLONE SKIN

Make sure you have the developer tools module installed.

from there you can make any changes you like and they will not be over-written.

Changes made via the TEMPLATES tabs in the ACP shouldnt get lost when skins are updated nor should images uploaded via the IMAGES tab on the skin.

If your interested in development level customization this course could suit you:
