How can the HTML files from the library be overwritten?

I need to overwrite this template:

  • lib/web/mage/gallery/gallery.html

I have tried placing the file in my own theme in the below locations, I've cleared my cache between each file move.

  • app/design/frontend/**VENDOR**/**THEME**/web/mage/gallery/gallery.html
  • app/design/frontend/**VENDOR**/**THEME**/web/gallery/gallery.html
  • app/design/frontend/**VENDOR**/**THEME**/web/lib/mage/gallery/gallery.html
  • app/design/frontend/**VENDOR**/**THEME**/web/lib/gallery/gallery.html
  • app/design/frontend/**VENDOR**/**THEME**/mage/gallery/gallery.html
  • app/design/frontend/**VENDOR**/**THEME**/web/template/gallery/gallery.html

I've read through the dev docs and can't see anything mentioned in there either.

  • could you help me to find difference between lib/web/mage/gallery/gallery.html and vendor/magento/magento2-base/lib/web/mage/gallery/gallery.html?

  • @LucaS I believe /lib and /vendor/magento/magento2-base/lib are the same. If you check all the files there I think they will all be identical.

  • Yes, so why if they are identical they are both in magento project? What is their different purpose?

    I'm not sure, I think it's the way Composer installs packages. Everything is installed to /vendor, so I'd take a guess that it copies the lib from the vendor magento2-base directory into the lib.

Correct Location

The correct location in this example is actually the first one I tried, I just didn't clear the directories required. So to overwrite lib templates they need duplicating in to the theme directory excluding the lib directory.

Correct location -app/design/frontend/**VENDOR**/**THEME**/web/mage/gallery/gallery.html

Clear pub/static and var/view_preprocessed

I actually placed the file in the correct location the first time, the main issue I had was that I wasn't clearing pub/static and var/view_preprocessed between file moves.

  • The correct location is already stated in the list of locations you tried in your question. Clearing the folders only fixed your problem or you typed the wrong locations ?

  • I believe my problem was I didn't clear pub/static and var/pre_processed. I thought clearing the cache was enough before I remembered the html templates are classed as static assets.

    @ND17 I haven't done anything with the adminhtml so this is a guess: app/design/frontend/**vendor**/**theme**/web/mage/adminhtml/browser.js
