body: <p>I have modified joomla core library files to facilitate to add placeholders for input fields. But it will be removed after do a version upgrade. Is there any solution for this?</p>
  
  <p>I have checked this doc - <a href="http://docs.joomla.org/How_to_override_the_component_mvc_from_the_Joomla!_core" rel="nofollow">http://docs.joomla.org/How_to_override_the_component_mvc_from_the_Joomla!_core</a></p>
  
  <p>And try to override by coping files to code folder in root. But it was not succeeded. </p>
