Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
Noobie to features question.
First if someone could just point me to some documentation about this (I can't seem to find and/or understand what I am reading.
I have a D7 dev site with Commons and OG. I want to upgrade to the latest Commons. The instructions for upgrading say to revert all overridden features after updating. Make sense. Obviously though I want to preserve my overridden features.
So I:
- Update the overridden feature -- but do I want to push my overrides to the database or to a custom module folder like site/all/modules/custom/your-feature as described here?
- So now that it is updated no need to revert....but couldn't Commons make changes that would be incompatible with my overrides?
Or do I:
- export my overrides to a module
- update Commons
- revert overridden features
- install (import my overrides/fork)?
This makes it sound like a fork of the feature...?
Any guidance would be welcome.
