How to prevent the options.xml being overwritten at update

Asked by Pierre Veelen (siteadmin) 4 years ago Last activity 4 years ago

In the article https://www.joomshaper.com/blog/helix-ultimate-2-0-2 it is stated that the file options.xml can be used to customize my preferences.

As this file is part of the installation of helix-ultimate, I assume it will be overwritten everytime an update is installed.

So my question is: How to prevent the options.xml being overwritten at update?
Is there something like an override possibility for the options.xml file?
(As far as i know, an override can only be used for modules, components, plugins and layouts)

Joomla: 3.10.8
Shaper Helixultimate: 2.0.7

Hi Pierre,

sorry, but as I know it's not possible. You can only change permission to that file from 644 to 444 then it will not be overridden by accident.
