Upgrading a heavily modified site?
Asked Modified Viewed 862 times

My site is heavily customized, including some of the core and main php. Is there a nice way to compare my current code with the latest version of php-fusion so I can implement the latest update without breaking anything?

Github is the best for tracking code changes.
You can create private repo. Upload current code. And then if you replace any file, you will see what has changed.
They have nice desktop application https://desktop.github.com/

You may also want to take a look at a program called WinMerge. I've used it for a while now. Side by side file comparison and merge. Here is a link to take a look and see if it might be easier for you.

Thanks @Grimloch
I ended up uploading 9.03.100 as a branch next to my existing code in Main and running a diff between main and branch, then doing a pull request and approving/denying either entire sections or individual lines based on my customizations.
WinMerge looks really nice, though! I'll do that next time

I use phpstorm to compare.
Compare your current site with a fresh copy of the same PHP-fusion version. Then you know exactly what you have modded.
Now compare the modded files in the fresh copy version, with the same files in the new PHP-fusion version. If the files are the same, you can easy put your modded version back.(most updates only a few files are changed, but they always let you update the whole site, I still don't know why). For the other files you need to make the same mod in the new version.
