Hello,

I am near the completion of a website I am developing for a client, and I just updated hikashop to 2.3.0 to test if I had forgotten to create overrides for the numerous core alternations I did to hikashop.

So far so good, looks like I have overrides for everything with the exception that the mod_hikashop_cart override now is not loading.

Path is mytemplate/html/mod_hikashop_cart/mod_hikashop_cart.php

All works as intended on version 2.2.2

Kind regards,

Drago.

Hi,

We didn't change anything in that module's main file with the latest release. So it must come from your code modifications.

Hi nicolas,

I just discovered that I did not remove my modification from the core module file, so my override never actually worked in version 2.2.2.

This pops the question now how do I override this module file?

In mod_hikashop_cart.php core:

The test string gets rendered in, but not in the override. Any ideas why that might be?

Path as I mentioned is mytemplate/html/mod_hikashop_cart/mod_hikashop_cart.php

There is no system in Joomla to override the main file of the modules. So it's normal that what you're doing doesn't work.
You can only override the files in the tmpl folder of the modules and the cart module of HikaShop doesn't have such tmpl files since it loads a standard view file called "cart" of the view "product" that you can edit via the menu Display>Views.

Ok, got it.

I have my override in the correct place now.

Thanks.
