I am trying to override the Topmenu Block. Here is what I did:

  1. Add a di.xml file to my module containing the:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--

    <preference for="Magento\Theme\Block\Html\Topmenu" type="Namespace\Module\Block\Html\Topmenu" />
</config>
  1. Copy <magento-root>/vendor/magento/magento-theme/Block/Html/Topmenu.php to <magento-root>/app/code/Namespace/Module/Block/Html/Topmenu.php

This results in the following error:

2 exception(s):
Exception #0 (Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException): Invalid block type: Magento\Theme\Block\Html\Topmenu
Exception #1 (ReflectionException): Class Namespace\Module\Block\Html\Topmenu does not exist

Is that the correct procedure? What else do I need to do to override the navbar?

The error state clearly, class not found

Exception #1 (ReflectionException): Class Namespace\Module\Block\Html\Topmenu does not exist

I think you forgot to change the namespace of copied file

app/code/Namespace/Module/Block/Html/Topmenu.php

namespace Namespace\Module\Block\Html;
.............................
class Topmenu ...............

.............................

  • I did change it to Namespace\Module\Block\Html; still got the same error. Commented Apr 29, 2017 at 18:32
  • I had the file in the wrong directory, my mistake. Having fixed that now I don't see any output from the class. Any idea why? Commented Apr 30, 2017 at 6:00
