I am facing another issue. Another developer had made changes to an open cart installation however he did these changes in the cached modification folder instead of the actual files, thus on refresh causing all changes to disappear. Unfortunately they did not document these changes either however, they are mainly to the admin folder. Of course there are other variable to look for but which i am not sure.
I didnt know whether this would work so i tried, essentially i copied the cache files and overwrote the core files with these cache files, leaving the ones which arent cached there, however now on refresh of the mods i get an error 500, till i replace the files with the older cache one. Errors are enabled however i still see none just an error 500.
p.s i still have a backup of all the core files i overwrote.
Thanks
Unless you pulled the storage/modification files from a backup prior to the refresh, the manual changes are gone.
If you have a backup of the modification folder prior to the refresh, you would have a better chance to compare and recover it.

Backup and learn how to recover before you make any changes!
Then I would say this person is NOT a "developer" and you should never work with them again.

I do have the modification files from a backup, ive compared them i find quite a few differences however i then replaced the actual core files with the backup modification files i had giving me the 500 error.sw!tch wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 12:27 pm500 errors would be in your server PHP error log.

I could not see anything in the error logs before, however i will take another look.
Thanks
Unfortunately the damage is done. Fortunately i do still have the modification files but i dont really want to replace them everytime there is a refreshpaulfeakins wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 4:50 pmThen I would say this person is NOT a "developer" and you should never work with them again.
Error 500 can mostly be seen in the access logs rather than the error logs. I would suggest to look in there and look for recent 500 indexes on the list based on the server date and time the event occurred.qasim123 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 7:35 pmI do have the modification files from a backup, ive compared them i find quite a few differences however i then replaced the actual core files with the backup modification files i had giving me the 500 error.sw!tch wrote: ↑Wed Oct 14, 2020 12:27 pm500 errors would be in your server PHP error log.

You could pay a proper developer to convert them in to OCMODs or vQmods.

Better let it stay there while troubleshooting the 500 error by checking your php error log (not your oc error log and certainly not your access log).
Then, after you have identified and fixed the error, rewrite it to a ocmod or event or vqmod and install that.
Refreshing the modifications will then erase all files in the modification directory and rebuild them.
