Hello All,

Our development team is implementing a site based on DRUPAL (http://www.publicvoting.org) and because of some designer requirements we have to change parts in the forum, taxonomy, node, filestore2, etc... modules.

However, if we want to migrate to a newer version of the DRUPAL the changes could be easily lost. I was thinking of overriding the changed functions but it does not seem to work - PHP refuses to override functions...

What would be the best approach to make the extensions?

greetings
Diman

Put the whole site in CVS/svn so that you can always go back to previous versions and know exactly what you changed. And/or create patches of your changes and hope that they'll apply to the next Drupal version.

AFAIk there's no simple solution for this problem.

Uwe.

We are already using a source control system...
I suppose the rest is organization of the development and sources...
