What did you do?

I create the folder com_virtuemart in template folder an then i copy the file i want to overwrite but the changes i made on it doesn't show in the pag, but if i change it in the original place then it works. Know I want to upgrade virtuemtar but if i do that i will lost all the changes.

Did you follow the right directory stricture with your overrides? eg if you edit the file components/com_virtuemart/views/productdetails/tmpl/default.php then the edited file should be placed in [yourjoomlatemplate]/html/com_virtuemart/productdetails/

If the filename is the same as the original then it should override automatically, but if the file name is different then it should be selected in VM configuration.

For example I modify default.php from com_virtuemart/views/tmpl/category. I put the file already modified in templates/ja_zeolite/html/com_virtuemart/views/category/default.php and the changes does't show. But if I put the same file in the original folder it works.

[jenkinhill]

templates/ja_zeolite/html/com_virtuemart/views/category/default.php

is wrong.

Should be templates/ja_zeolite/html/com_virtuemart/category/default.php

[luiskar]

templates/ja_zeolite/html/com_virtuemart/views/category/default.php

is wrong.

Should be templates/ja_zeolite/html/com_virtuemart/category/default.php

Thank so much, finally works
PD: Update to vm 2.6 and all works great
PD2: How can I overwrite com_virtuemart located in the folder administrator?
