I want change layout of catalaog_category_view.xml but i can't. I override block category.products and it's work but how can i add my own block to existing category.products block? Because i want add my own element above of category.products element. I was trying add block and move element, add to referenceContainer content and move before category.products and nothing happened. Still the same page exists. Can you help me how can i add block inside category.products or above category.products.

            <block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Category\View" name="category.products" template="Magento_Catalog::category/products.phtml">
            <block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\ListProduct" name="category.products.list" as="product_list" template="Magento_Catalog::product/list.phtml">
                <container name="category.product.list.additional" as="additional" />
                <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\RendererList" name="category.product.type.details.renderers" as="details.renderers">
                    <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="category.product.type.details.renderers.default" as="default"/>
                </block>
                <block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\ProductList\Item\Container" name="category.product.addto" as="addto">
                    <block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\ProductList\Item\AddTo\Compare"
                           name="category.product.addto.compare" as="compare"
                           template="Magento_Catalog::product/list/addto/compare.phtml"/>
                </block>
                <block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\ProductList\Toolbar" name="product_list_toolbar" template="Magento_Catalog::product/list/toolbar.phtml">
                    <block class="Magento\Theme\Block\Html\Pager" name="product_list_toolbar_pager"/>
                </block>
                <action method="setToolbarBlockName">
                    <argument name="name" xsi:type="string">product_list_toolbar</argument>
                </action>
            </block>
        </block>

This is block category.products from Magento_Catalog. I want add my block above this one:

 <block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Category\View" name="category.products" template="Magento_Catalog::category/products.phtml">

Or:

            <block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Category\View" name="category.products" template="Magento_Catalog::category/products.phtml"><!-- Before category.products.list -->
            <block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\ListProduct" name="category.products.list" as="product_list" template="Magento_Catalog::product/list.phtml">

Anyone can help me? I will be really grateful!

  • Have you tried with this? <move element="yourblock" destination="content" before="category.products" />

  • <referenceBlock name="category.products"> <action method="setTemplate"> <argument name="template" xsi:type="string">MGS_Landing::category/products.phtml</argument> </action> </referenceBlock> - This code override standard category.products. I'm beginner developer of magento2. Where i must create additional block which will show above category.products? Inside referenceBlock or somewhere else?

  • Do you want to replace default magento's layout of category.products block or want to create a new block before category.products block?
