override decora template

Asked by Ronald Mol 3 years ago Last activity 3 years ago

Hi,

Is it possible to override the blog_item.php from the Decora template?

I noticed that changing the file /templates/decora/html/com_content/category/blog_item.php makes the changes visible I want. But I do not want to loose change when updating the template.

I put back the original blog_item.php and placed a copy of the changed file in /templates/decora/overrides/com_content/category/blog_item.php.

The changes are not visible (yet).
I read the instructions on your site about overrides in Helix but I guess I am misunderstanding something.

Hope someone can help!

Regards,
Ronald

Hello Ronald Mol

You can edit this file:

templates/decora/html/com_content/category/blog_item.php

It will not be changed on the template update.

Best regards

Hi Ofi,

Thank you for your reply.
I also already found out how to make the overrides work (as I think/expected it to work)
But you are right yes.

I placed the specific file in this folder
templates/decora/overrides/com_content/categories

The hardest thing was to find out which file I needed and due to some caching issues (or settings) , my tests did not show up, so it took more time than expected to find the right file. Finally copying the file from the /plugins/system/ultimate.... did the trick.

Regards,
Ronald
