I would like to override this file in my module but cannot find the reference name for 

base/default/template/email/order/shipment/track.phtml

<layout version="0.1.0">
    <????>
        <reference name="????">
            <action method="setTemplate">
                <template>namespace/email/order/shipment/track.phtml</template>
           </action>
        </reference>
    </????>
</layout>

what should i be replacing the question marks with?

This template email/order/shipment/track.phtml is used directly in email (app/locale/en_US/template/email/sales/shipment_new.html & app/locale/en_US/template/email/sales/shipment_new_guest.html). {{block type='core/template' area='frontend' template='email/order/shipment/track.phtml' shipment=$shipment order=$order}}

So you can't use layout to change this template. You need to create a transactional email to change this template.

Hope this help,

  • I want this to be in a module that i can place on any site and it will change the email template I dont think your idea would be able to do that – Yehuda Schwartz Nov 30 '15 at 14:38

    no other method that I know (@SeStro and mine). So, you can do : rewrite core/template and if the template is email/order/shipment/track.phtml change it by your own. It works but this is a very dirty code – bchatard Nov 30 '15 at 16:42
  • i dont mind dirty, but i am a beginner how would i do the rewrite core/template ? – Yehuda Schwartz Nov 30 '15 at 22:02

  • If you want to do a module for the community, so do not think like this. Clean code is important. Your module need to create a transactional email with the good template. If not, the solution from @SeStro or mine is the only way to do that. – bchatard Dec 1 '15 at 23:11

Just create file in [your_package]/[your_theme]/template/email/order/shipment/track.phtml

ok i figured out I added to mmy modules config 

<global>
    <template>
        <email>
            <sales_email_shipment_template translate="label" module="sales">
                <label>New Shipment</label>
                <file>sales/[namespace]/shipment_new.html</file>
                <type>html</type>
            </sales_email_shipment_template>
            <sales_email_shipment_guest_template translate="label" module="sales">
                <label>New Shipment for Guest</label>
                <file>sales/[namespace]/shipment_new_guest.html</file>
                <type>html</type>
            </sales_email_shipment_guest_template>
        </email>
    </template>
</global>

and then copied the core files to my namespace and edited the block that called track.phtml to call my custom module

Thanks for all the help!
