For the most part they will not alter your look and feel of you site. C. Core changes: see below These are changes to any file that is not in the template directory or admin. Some of these changes will alter the look of you site. Hopefully for the better. D. Template changes: These are changes that are applied to any file with in the template directory. If you have customized anything with in this directory it can and will be over written. To prevent this from happening you should find the document "how to set up your own template". or you will need to merge the changes into your catalog. Do not just copy them over your current templates if you have changed them. This patch includes changes to the style sheets of the templates. These changes add styles for the links list, and cart in header that were missing. E. Installing the patch to a stock catalog: 1. Make a backup of your files and database, then store them someplace safe. 2. If you have customized one of the four basic template, your should create your own.

List of the 4 basic templates: E-vector Helius Original (default) Pixame_v1 All boxes are turned on by default. You will need to move them around and place the in there correct position as you old cart was. Once you have moved the side boxes around click on the update position button. This will move the arrows to the correct places and make sure the sort order is correct. If you do not you may experience error in the side boxes.
