Core/module updater

[Cassim]

Hi,

We are doing some good amount of updates on some modules, to fit our design and way of the functions to work.

But the system likes to update the modules we did change. Special the "layered Nav" module.

Is there a way to disable update on specific modules to avoid getting a update in.? 

 

Or is there a better way of coding into a module that makes sure we can keep the module updated without breaking the module.?

You should use the right technique. Design changes need to happen in themes and functional changes in core should happen with overrides. TBH I am no more sure, if overrding in modules is easily possible. Maybe this one works: https://build.prestashop.com/howtos/module/how-to-override-modules/

Another way is to take part in official development. If your PR are merged, you won't have the upgrade issue at all 🙂 But ofc not all things can be merged...

Not upgrading can be very risky for security (see other topics these days).
