SUPEE 6788 - What do I need to do with overrides

Question

Looking at the actually .sh patch I can see it updates files such as

/app/design/frontend/base/default/template/customer/form/register.phtml

I have my overridden the .phtml with my own in my theme I would need to apply the same changes the releveant files?

/app/design/frontend/rwd/[my theme name here]/template/customer/form/register.phtml

Obviously this is just an example of 1 file that the patch changes so if I do need to update them too, I presume I would need to review what files have been changed and update accordingly?

Answer 1

You need to check which changes have been made in these files which you modified in your own template and transfer/copy then to your files.

A git diff or having a look at the patch file will help you with this.

In the specific case mentioned above the git diff will show you that a hidden form_key input was added:

diff --git a/app/design/frontend/base/default/template/customer/form/register.phtml b/app/design/frontend/base/default/template/customer/form/register.phtml

You need to copy this line into your template in /app/design/frontend/rwd/[my theme name here]/template/customer/form/register.phtml.
