109. Core Modules in Drupal 6, Drupal7 and Drupal 8

Tuesday, April 22, 2014

87. Why you shouldn't modify core drupal files ?

No matter how easy it is to modify core files to make Drupal do what you want it to do, resist the temptation.
·         Doing so will make it complicated, difficult or near impossible to apply site updates such as Security and bug fixes.
·         You will make it difficult for those that come after to maintain the site.
·         You could possibly leave your site vulnerable to exploits.

The Drupal core has been designed to be modular, so there should be no reason to hack it. If there is a feature you want and it cannot be accomplished outside of modifying core, consider submitting your hack as a patch. Create an issue and tell the community the feature you want to accomplish. It will then be tested and your feature may become a part of the Drupal core.
