Title: Code Manipulations
Post by: texile on February 04, 2006, 07:15:54 PM
Hi support

I am testing Coppermine php package, all are ok.
but I should do some changes due to my needs,
For example I needed avatar for my gallery so i manipulated the gallery as I need,
Another changes that I need is in the profile section (for example friend list and so on)
I did not manipulate the mysql database yet, but I afraid of security and future upgrade problems that may be existed because of my manipulations,

My question is, how I can make sure that our changes don't effect on future upgrade or how we can make sure about security safety,

Thanks for your service and support

You will need to do the future upgrades, and reapply the modifications. A good way to deal with updates is using WinMerge to see the differences between old and new files. You can do a search for posts that go into more detail.

Thanks for rapid answer,
I will do as you said and do my best to keep in touch with your site and news,

Second part of my question is about the general structure of the package,
For example how different php files work with each other and what is the role of each php file,
I have searched the site but I did not find any complete reference on your site,
in this way we can find the best section for manipulating,
