I got the following notice from Braintree

"The SSL certificates for all Braintree SDKs, including Drop-In, are set to expire by March 30, 2026. This will impact both Sandbox and Production traffic for existing SDKs. To avoid interruption to your processing, please notify your developers about this change so they can update your SDK version to the appropriate minimum versions."

I'm currently on Ecommerce Plus PHP v7.9.1

Do I need to make any changes?

Hi Edp
There are updates for all the Braintree drop-in's in v7.9.3 now.

Vince - As we've discussed before, I'm using version 6 and can't use your updaters because the amount of customization that I've done on the site. Is there a way you can send me the changes that I would need to apply?

Thank you.

That's way old and really insecure.
Do you want some help updating the site?
Are you familiar with file compare programs that will compare two files side by side?
Are your changes commented?

Thanks,
David

yes, it's old. I've made security changes along the way, but I've had to do them manually rather than using the updater because the customization I've done is massive.

This one caught me by surprise for some reason. I think I can plug in the changes in inccart.php and incthanks.php without much difficulty, but it would be helpful to know if I'm missing anything else.

Hi Rick, Vince would be the best one to answer the question of sliding in that change to your existing code.
I too have extensive changes, but I have a document that lists them all and what file they are in and what they do.
Over the years, new features have allowed me to remove some of my mods.
I also try to do my mods in a way that I am not altering the files in the vsadmin.

Keep that in mind so you understand. It's only changes in the files in the vsadmin that you need to deal with when updating as the updaters do not alter the front end files other than the css and js files.
It may be that you no longer need some of your mods, or your mods may not be impacted by updating the site.

I learned a long time ago to implement best practices with my mods so I can run updates with as little effort as possible.
I can tell you that you are missing out on some great new features at least.

Thanks,
David

Thank you. The vast majority of my changes are in the vsadmin/inc folder.

Hi Rick, gotcha...

In the future if you want some help with it I can carve out some time to help you work through an update and document your mods.
It may be possible to rework some of them so they are not within the core file, or it's just a simple include line and your code is in a separate file.

You might want to click Vince's name and send him a message to ask about merging the changes you need into your existing code.

Thanks,
David

Thank you, David. I think a rewrite would be easier (and that would not be easy!). If you're interested, you can take a look at horizoncabinetdoor.com to get an idea of the scope of the changes. This is one of 3 sites, all very different from each other. I don't foresee a rewrite happening anytime soon, but I figured you'd be curious as to why I had to make such massive changes. In a nutshell, every product we sell requires significant customization and the pricing has to reflect the customized options.

Rick Haylon

Ok, so you have complicated product options that you want the customer to have a visual for the selection.
So take a look at this product on one of my sites.
Click each option to see the product change and try the red question marks (tool tips) and make selections there.

Everything you see there was done with no mods to the core files - It's all coded in the front end with no back end hacks.
The pricing also changes in real time - even the quantity pricing.
You also never leave the page.

If you want to see something even more elaborate check this out - https://www.trophykits.com/proddetail.asp?prod=PLQ-P
Again no mods to the back end files at all.

Thanks,
David
