Hi,
My extension adds a new column to the order info page in admin. How can I make this extension without modifying core files.
thanks

Use Events

You could add the Extension Content into the corresponding Core Files, to make it work, but without modifying the core files in charge, changes cannot work.

Actually, there is no need for modifying core files. A simple event handler for the trigger
admin/view/sale/order_info/before should do the job.

Well, that might be so, but I assume, that 'creating events' has little or no meaning for most OC Users, asking such questions...

Their opinion. The engine is built-in the core wanted or not on anyhow and still takes the lead on the MB.

Not only
might be so, it IS so that events are the way to go (especially when OpenCart 4.x will be published)!
Everything else is old and "out fashioned".
And the "question" does not comes from a "user", more from a so called "developer" who does not know what he is doing!

It is not only from the fact that a so-called developer may not know what he's doing but also from those who knows what they're doing but simply rather takes chances to search for core lines in existing codes whereas these lines can interfere with other extensions without being aware of it as opposed to the use of Event Triggers.
