If I am working off of the quark ecommerce quick start build of 12/2015, there were many bug fixes done with your tech support, a) two js/ directory files: gk.ecommerce.js and gk.scripts were previously changed and b) /templateDetails.xml was previously changed.

I have attached the above referenced original 12/2015 files and the current live 12/2015 hacked files here.

1) Can you send me back the most recent 7/2016 updated template files with those fixes in tact so that they do not break the hacks originally done? In the alternative, if those hacks were incorporated into the

2) Can you send me the zip file that would be best for updating the current live 2015 template to the remainder of the 2016 gavick quark ecommerce template update?

3) There were a lot of template fixes and tweaks that were able to be done to the template css override section of the template back end. Please advise if these are ok to leave as is or whether they may possibly break / slow down / prevent the new updated files from working properly. I have included a text file also to this post showing all of the css overrides done for your reference.

Although there are a lot of benefits of upgrading to joomla 3.6 from 3.4, I clearly want to prevent breaking or making my site less efficient as a result of the overlapping hacks and overrides that were previously done with your help. I do appreciate your help in my efforts to keep updated with your latest and greatest version of this template.

Hi

As I remember those were almost all customisations, so it will not be easy to keep them all if it's not a standard template's code.

What I would advice is to make a copy of the website and update everything except template. Than to fix all the problems it may bring, but I have a feeling there will be no problems at all.
