I am trying to overwrite this template from a custom module but nothing at all is working. I've tried arguments to set the template... I've messed with sequence.

Below is the code in Vendor/Module/view/frontend/layout/catalog_category_view.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="2columns-left" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <update handle="catalog_category_view"/>

    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="category.products">
            <action method="setTemplate">
                <argument name="template" xsi:type="string">Elcometer_Quote::product/list.phtml</argument>
            </action>
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>
</page>

This will not work, it is placed: app/code/Vendor/Module/view/frontend/layout

What am I doing wrong?

We need to declare nodes: <action method="setTemplate"> and <update handle="catalog_category_view"/> in your layout.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="2columns-left" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
   <update handle="catalog_category_view"/>
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="category.products">
            <action method="setTemplate">
                <argument name="template" xsi:type="string">Elcometer_Quote::product/list.phtml</argument>
            </action>
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>
</page>

    Yes, try with <update handle="catalog_category_view"/>.

  • So I'm using update handle catalog_category_view in my module/catalog_category_view.xml layout file? Could you explain the logic behind that?

You need the <action method="setTemplate"> tag:

<referenceBlock name="search_result_list">
        <action method="setTemplate">
            <argument name="template" xsi:type="string">Elcometer_Quote::html/topmenu.phtml</argument>
        </action>
    </referenceBlock>

  • That didn't work, I cleared cache too. I am getting some merged layout INFO errors.

    Yes, the only part that should change is the template file being referenced. I tested that code and it should work.

    No, that was specific to your other question.

The problem was trying to target catalog_category_view, the page I was attempting to manipulate the product list block could only be modified by catalog_category_view_type_layered.xml.

If anyone could further explain this, I would greatly appreciate it.

Additionally, I now have a problem where a method that the template wants to use isn't available on that template.

Hi you trying to change template of the "category.products" instead of "category.products.list". Your code should be like this:

    <referenceBlock name="category.products.list">
        <action method="setTemplate">
            <argument name="template" xsi:type="string">Elcometer_Quote::product/list.phtml</argument>
        </action>
    </referenceBlock>
