Template override - How To

Hi All

I would like to use template overrides to customize the default contact form layout; I tried copying the content of the directory "com_aicontactsafe\views\message\tmpl" to "mytemplate/html/com_aicontactsafe/message" with no luck: is this the right way to go?

Best Regards,
Moez

Re: Template override - How To

Hi,

Yes, that is the correct. I've just tested again and the output is overridden.

I don't know about this tutorials :

http://docs.joomla.org/How_to_override_ … omla!_core

Re: Template override - How To

Thank you very much Alex .
I used template overrides with other components (k2, com_content..) but with no success with aiContactSafe : I must be doing something wrong.
I'll check again.
Thank you smile

Re: Template override - How To

Hi again Alex
I want to modify the layout of the default contact form : is overriding the message view enough?
I deleted the components\com_aicontactsafe\views\message\tmpl\message.php file and yet the contact form (front end) is still working ??

Best Regards

Re: Template override - How To

Hi,

Yes, overriding that file is enough.
And no, if you delete that file the extension is not working.

Make sure you are making the modification on the same Joomla instance that you are testing. smile

Re: Template override - How To

Hi Alex,

I have the same problem with the template override like moez. I tried to copy the file "message.php" from "..\components\com_aicontactsafe\views\message\tmpl\" to "..\templates\MY_TEMPLATE\html\com_aicontactsafe\views\message\" and did my amendment (In order to test it, I added in line 21 of the file the code "<p>test</p>"). Unfortunately nothing changed in the front end. I am using Joomla 1.5.23 and com_aiContactSafe_2_0_15.zip. Do you have any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks for your help.

Regards

Re: Template override - How To

Hi,

You placed the file in the wrong folder.
You should had being using the folder :

Code:

"..\templates\MY_TEMPLATE\html\com_aicontactsafe\message\"

Notice the folder views is not used ( this is mentioned in the documentation about output overrides I've mentioned ).
