I am currently trying to override a register.phml from a custom module in my own custom module.

My modules name is UV_Mitgliedsnummer, the custom module I want to override the template from is Clarion_CustomAttribute.

magento/app/code/UV/Mitgliedsnummer/etc/di.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
    <config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
        <preference for="Magento\Customer\Block\Form\Register" type="Vendor\Module\Block\Form\Register" />
    </config>

magento/app/code/UV/Mitgliedsnummer/etc/module.xml

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd">
    <module name="UV_Mitgliedsnummer" setup_version="1.1.0">
        <sequence>
            <module name="Clarion_CustomAttribute" />
        </sequence>
    </module>
</config>

magento/app/code/UV/Mitgliedsnummer/view/frontend/layout/customer_account_create.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<block class="Magento\Customer\Block\Form\Register" as="virtual" template="form/register.phtml">

<!--
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="clarion.register">
            <arguments>
                <argument name="template" xsi:type="string">Clarion_CustomAttribute::view.phtml</argument>
            </arguments>
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>
</page>
-->

magento/app/code/UV/Mitgliedsnummer/view/frontend/templates/form/register.phtml

Ich bin ein Test. :-)

Do you have any suggestions why it is not working? Thanks :-)

Edit: It seems to work now but I get these exceptions.

Exception #0 (Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException): Ungültiger Block-Typ: Magento\Customer\Block\Form\Register

Exception #1 (ReflectionException): Class Vendor\Module\Block\Form\Register does not exist

  • You have not added Block file with class you have defined for your template in xml Or you have assigned wrong class name in xml

You can use below code in xml file to override template

<referenceBlock name="block-name">
    <action method="setTemplate">
        <argument name="template" xsi:type="string">UV_Mitgliedsnummer::form/register.phtml</argument>
    </action>
</referenceBlock>

Note: Change "block-name" as per your modules layout structure

  • How can I find the block name? Clarion_CustomAttributes is a custom module. When I turn dev mode on, it shows me this as block: Magento\Customer\Block\Form\Register

  • <code> <?xml version="1.0"?> <referenceBlock name="customer_form_register"> <action method="setTemplate"> <argument name="template" xsi:type="string">UV_Mitgliedsnummer::form/register.phtml</argument> </action> </referenceBlock> </code> doesn't work :-/

  • The module xml I am overriding is overriding some module too. It is also referencing to "customer_form_register". May that be the problem?
