I have a module which has a visual output and therefore I like to extend an existing layout.

From what I read the magento2 way is to add a ne layout in app/design/frontend (according to http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/frontend-dev-guide/layouts/layout-extend.html)

So my structure looks like this:

app/code/design/frontend/Magento/luma/Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_product_view.xml

catalog_product_view.xml

<page layout="1column" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="content">
            <container name="product.info.media" htmlTag="div" htmlClass="product media" after="product.info.main">
                <block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\View\Gallery" name="product.info.media.image" template="product/view/gallery.phtml"/>
            </container>
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

The content block is not changing in any way, so there seems either to be something missing or I have a missunderstanding here. Any help is appreciated.

EDIT

My magento2 code is from https://www.magentocommerce.com/download so everything is placed in vendor/. Maybe that's why it is not working ?!

Thanks

You need to move this xml file to the following path : app/design/frontend/<vendorName>/<themeName>/Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_product_view.xml and also, this theme must be activated in Backend.

  • I changed it to app/design/frontend/Magento/luma/Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_product_view.xml but it does not have any effect In my themes I can see Magento/luma , so I seems to miss something still

  • You should add tag <referenceContainer name="product.info.main" remove="true"/> to check override
