Hi im currently upgrading from 3.0.13. to 3.0.14 i have uploaded the required files. My site is currently in development and iv heavily modded the legend skin.

My question is do i have to upload the updated content/index.tpl and layout.css files? My existing files are modded and have extra css in the layout.css and additional code in the index.tpl file.


Im not entirely sure how updating these files will change anything apart from mess my design up?


In admin it says no current updates, but i havent added the updated layout.css or index.tpl files.


Help would be appreciated,

Cheers, Ben.

Normally skins files do not have to be upgraded

I upgraded most of my stores from 3.0.9 or .10 to 3.0.14 and didn't upgrade any of the skin files. Have had no problems with them, so you don't need to update your skins.

Mysty and Roban are correct. You don't have to upload the new skins files at all. However, to prevent you from accidentally doing this in the future, the recommendation is to rename your modified skin to something other than "Legend", "Classic", or "Killer". Once you've renamed the folder, go into Admin -> General Options then select your newly renamed skin. That's all there is to it. Now, if you should mess up and upload the new skin, your existing work will not be affected at all.

Yup, good suggestion I should have mentioned I renamed mine for example "Classic-SE" for my store name and never have to worry about accidentally overwriting it.
