[Closed] PHP override

Hi Antonio

I have another feature request, but I assume this one would take some time, it is more of a nice to have.

Currently, I am modifying the core Joomdle PHP files when trying to customise layouts of "My Grades" or other views such as "My Courses", "My Certificates" etc.

Would it be possible to implement a system similar to what Hikashop has under the "views" menu which allows you to modify the PHP views files in Joomla and it saves it as an override?
The reason I as is every time I update Joomdle I need to remember to manually override all the modified files via FTP, if the override file remained on the system it would mean that no customisation would not be removed every time Joomdle is updated

Hi.

In Joomla, you don' need to modify core component code to make layout changes. That's what template overrides are for.
You can read more here: www.joomdle.com/wiki/Modifying_Joomdle_look_and_feel

Great, Thanks I missed that some how

just to be sure if I wanted to create an override for the "Course Grades" would I put it in the following directory

TEMPLATE_NAME/html/com_joomdle/views/coursegrades/tmpl/default_cats.php

You need to remove the tmpl.
I think it would be:
TEMPLATE_NAME/html/com_joomdle/views/coursegrades/default_cats.php

Thanks, brilliant service as always.

Thank you :blush: , I am glad I could help.

I have copied the files to the folder and it has updated the layout of the table but has not applied the CSS styling

Sorry, but I don't know what your problem is. You should check if CSS files are being loaded....I am not very experienced in GUI programming, so I cannot give you any more advice right now.

I figured it out
Instead of
TEMPLATE_NAME/html/com_joomdle/views/coursegrades/default_cats.php
it needed to be
TEMPLATE_NAME/html/com_joomdle/coursegrades/default_cats.php

It now works correctly
