Opencart update modifications folder files

Question

I'm newbie to opencart, i changed some controllers and models in system/storage/modifications folder.

In opencart admin side when i install new extensions and then goto modifications >> clear cache, the files i changed in system/storage/modifications gets overwrite

can anyone suggest how to overcome this issue?

Answer 1

You should not edit the files in storage/modification folder, because as soon as you hit the refresh button in extensions / modifications in admin panel, OpenCart removes them all and creates the new files.

You can use:

Modification System

vQmod

Event System
