I have a custom module installed via composer and the path is vendor/company/module/src/registration.php.

I want to override some of these files like vendor/company/module/src/view/template/frontend/main.phtml but no path I tried worked:

app/code/Company/Module/src/view/template/frontend/main.phtml
app/code/Company/Module/view/template/frontend/main.phtml
app/design/frontend/package/theme/Company_Module/src/view/template/frontend/main.phtml
app/design/frontend/package/theme/Company_Module/view/template/frontend/main.phtml

I hope there is an easy way to do it and you don't have to create a separate module and extend.

  • You can override by using theme as you mentioned , is there any issue using themes.

  • @krishnaijjadaati95Dev yes, it doesn't get parsed, inserted die() or incorrect php syntax.

  • @ Claudiu Creanga first test whether the module is working or not, then you can migrate the templates into theme

  • @krishnaijjadaati95Dev the module is working properly. if I go to website.com/module-url it is showing up properly. if I edit main.phtml in vendor the change is being picked up, but not if I edit ../theme/..

Copy templates folder from

template/frontend/main.phtml

Keep your code in

app/design/frontend/package/theme/Company_Module/template/frontend/main.phtml

What i have tried Taken the code from 

\vendor\magento\module-customer\view\frontend\templates\form\login.phtml

And placed 

\vendor\magento\theme-frontend-luma\Magento_Customer\templates\form\login.phtml

Working as expected.

  • it makes sense though so that composer can update it properly

  • Yes, as well as you know if you want to override only few functions use PLUGIN, or entire class use preference by extending core class.

Update for Magento 2.2 & 2.3 You have to place your code in 

app/design/frontend/package/theme/Company_Module/templates/main.phtml

where Company_Module is the name on etc/module.xml, and no need to put frontend again after module namen and the name of folder is "templates*" and no "template"

Another exemple to override

vendor/smile/elasticsuite/src/module-elasticsuite-catalog/view/frontend/web/template/autocomplete/category.html
vendor/smile/elasticsuite/src/module-elasticsuite-core/view/frontend/web/template/autocomplete/term.html

Override has to be on two different modules and on web folder

app/design/frontend/Package/Name/Smile_ElasticsuiteCore/web/template/autocomplete/term.html
app/design/frontend/Package/Name/Smile_ElasticsuiteCatalog/web/template/autocomplete/category.html
