How to patch MageParts ReorderProduct module to correctly compare Magento versions

A_README.md

We've had to patch this module several times for different projects because it is a useful module, just doesn't do version comparison correctly which can cause bugs. We submitted our code changes to MageParts developers and documented the errors we were experiencing with their module on a Magento EE 1.12.0.2 installation, but they have yet to incorporate our bug fixes — that's why I feel the need to document what the necessary changes are to be made to the module so that it works as expected.

This code is pulled from production code, so local package names have been replaced with "MYMOD" (or mymod_ for short codes or XML configuration files)

Pre-requisites:

• Already have a successfully installed MageParts ReorderProduct module in the app/code/community directory
• Have some familiarity with PHP and Magento application structure

---

Get started:

Custom Module

Create your own custome module in app/code/local to extend/overwrite some MageParts functionality with the following tree structure (replace MYMOD with your own package name):

app/code/local/MYMOD
|
├── ReorderProduct
│   ├── Helper
│   │  └── Data.php
│   ├── controllers
│   │  └── IndexController.php
│   └── etc
│      └── config.xml

Layout/Template files

app/design/frontend/base/default/
|
├── layout
|   ├── MYMOD
│      └── reorderproduct.xml
├── template
|   ├── MYMOD
|      ├── reorderproduct
│         └── view.phtml
│         └── options_list.phtml

Configuration files

app/etc/modules/
|   └── MYMOD_ReorderProduct.xml

---

Copy the contents of the files listed below to their corresponding location in your custom module

• app/code/local/MYMOD/ReorderProduct/controllers/IndexController.php
• app/code/local/MYMOD/ReorderProduct/etc/config.xml
• app/code/local/MYMOD/ReorderProduct/Helper/Data.php
• app/etc/modules/MYMOD_ReorderProduct.xml
• app/design/frontend/base/default/layout/MYMOD/reorderproduct.xml
• app/design/frontend/base/default/template/MYMOD/reorderproduct/view.phtml
• app/design/frontend/base/default/template/MYMOD/reorderproduct/options_list.phtml

Nice!

Actually you updates have been included but the current development version is in a beta stage, we had several requests for updates and new features, in the end it was decided that the extension should be reconstructed completely and incorporate its own tables for tracking orders etc.

I thought I had included this in the official release as well though but maybe I'm wrong, I will look it over and get it published right away, thank you and my apologies if this got neglected.

I will try to include as much of the above as possible in the upcoming version as well, as long as you are fine with me doing so? I've linked this on my todo list so I will come back here as soon as there is time to finish the beta version of the extension, which will most likely be during the second quarter of 2014.

I forgot to thank you for the amazing work you put in here.

The code is properly structured and the commentary as well as the code itself is excellent, thank you very much for helping us improve our software! :-)

No problem at all. We use this module fairly often so I was just documenting it to make it repeatable for the other developers in our company or others who may benefit. Use as much or as little of it as you want.
