How do i overwrite email/order/shipment/track.phtml

Question

There is a core file named

email/order/shipment/track.phtml

in the theme base default.

Now i have added a PHTML file to my own theme called ABC/Default and in the folder

email/order/shipment/track.phtml

In the transactional email i have this code:

{{block type='core/template' area='frontend' template='email/order/shipment/track.phtml' shipment=$shipment order=$order}}

But it still picks the core phtml instead of the custom one.

How do i see my custom one in the transactional emails?

You need to copy the below file:

app/design/frontend/base/default/template/email/order/shipment/track.phtml

to

app/design/frontend/your_package/your_theme/template/email/order/shipment/track.phtml

No need to do anything else. Flush the cache and change whatever you want to your theme's track.phtml

Don't forget to flush the cache.

Did you try by editing base file, if it works? As may be any extension override this file.

I am not asking to override it with new module. I am asking that it may be overridden. But you said its not overriden as it works when you edit the core. Then something wrong with file location you are adding.

data/web/public/app/design/frontend/base/default/template/email/order/shipment/track.phtml <- this is the core file i'd like to edit. I have added the custom file in this path -> data/web/public/app/design/frontend/abc/default/template/email/order/shipment/track.phtml
