I am new to Magento 2 and I'm not quite understand its structure yet. I'm using its sample data to investigate code. I want to override a .phtml file by using a custome module. The file I want to override is:
vendor/magento/module-customer/view/frontend/templates/account/dashboard/info.phtml
So far, I create a file in this path:
src/app/code/NewModule/NewModuleTest/view/frontend/templates/customer/account/dashboard/info.phtml
I copy that original file to this and make some simple changes like add a tag, changing text. After that, I run command:
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento cache:clean
But nothing happen. I don't know if I'm missing anything. I also clear browser's cache. Please help me. Any ideas are appreciated. Thank you all!
P/s: I don't know if this is related, I install Magento by this repo on Github: Docker Magento
I figured out how to do this
Identify files you want to override
vendor/magento/module-customer/view/frontend/templates/account/dashboard/info.phtml
vendor/magento/module-customer/view/frontend/layout/customer_account_index.xml
<block class="Magento\Customer\Block\Account\Dashboard\Info" name="customer_account_dashboard_info" as="info" template="Magento_Customer::account/dashboard/info.phtml" cacheable="false">
<container name="customer.account.dashboard.info.blocks" as="additional_blocks"/>
</block>
Override steps
app/code/NewModule/NewModuleTest/view/frontend/layout/customer_account_index.xml
referenceBlock
tag and original block’s ‘name’<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
<referenceBlock name="customer_account_dashboard_info" template="NewModule_NewModuleTest::customer/account/dashboard/info.phtml"/>
</body>
</page>
/app/code/NewModule/NewModuleTest/view/frontend/templates/customer/account/dashboard/info.phtml
Then it's done!
