Hi Yb,

What I always do with the .phtml files I changed myself is to keep record of the original one and compare this one with the one of the new version.
These two I compare and look for changes. If the change is small I update my edited file, otherwise I have to change the new one with my adaptations....

That's probably the price to pay for making adaptations oneself...

I always backup the current installation... then upgrade completely (the /iv-admin/ and /iv-includes/) and only check the files I changed and make the necessary adaptations in the new installed folders.

Just upload iv-admin and iv-includes. That should solve everything.

Well, it would not for him, because he made a lot of adjustments to files like layout.phtml....

Hi Yb,

Considering the place where the share function appears in the html-version, I suppose that only the file layout.phtml has changed. So, I compared version 2.7.2 with 2.7.3 of this file and indeed there are changes between those two versions that are related to addThis.

Here is a txt file with the results of the comparing:

A version control tool like git or svn could help you to apply updates if you're edited the files. This way you can just copy new stuff over and then see the changes in files and correct where needed. In the best case scenario it could help you merge your custom gallery with the new release automatically. But there is a quite steep learning curve unfortunately.
