If your custom work was done correctly, the developer noted the files changed, created backups of the files she/he changed, then this is not an issue. I have extensive custom changes to core files that I have done yet upgrading is not an issue because I know exactly what files were changed. I will note that I have seen experience developers here on Boonex that don't follow this simple practice because I have gone in behind them and not seeing the backup file on the server; it needs to be on the see more server so that anyone can see that a file has been changed from the original.
If you know what files have been changed, PM me and I will give you instructions on how to proceed with the upgrade.
Alex, in my case I have modified core files; which means I have to check the upgrade files against my files and add into the upgrade files my changes so when I run the upgrade script it includes my core changes. That is why it is nice to know which files are in the upgrade.
* /flash/modules/global/inc/header.inc.php
* /inc/classes/BxDolTemplate.php
* /inc/classes/utils.inc.php
* /templates/base/scripts/BxBaseIndexPageView.php
* /templates/base/scripts/BxBaseProfileView.php
* /templates/base/scripts/BxBaseSocialSharing.php
However, always make a full backup before upgrading.
