Email overrides not working in 2.0.8e

[z-analysts]

I created an override for mail_html_header.php but it is not recognized by Virtuemart when the Order email is sent. I have seen other override problems but my issue is with emails. Is there a workaround for this?

Thank you!

VM 2.0.8e

I just tested this. For me it works. Maybe you stored your override file at a place where Joomla/VM2 is not looking for override files.
If you place your adjusted mail_html_header.php in the folder
...joomlaroot\templates\yourtemplatename\html\com_virtuemart\invoice\mail_html_header.php
it should work.

make sure you do not have the OLD file structure.

In earlier versions of 2.0 there were other files that generated the order emails.

BEST way to check is to

rename the com_virtuemart/views    folder.

Then, extract a new package, and upload it

Hello PRO and jjk -

Thank you for your replies. I placed my custom file in ...joomlaroot\templates\gk_cherrydesign\html\com_virtuemart\views\invoice\tmpl\mail_html_header.php which is the same location as the 2.0.8e file structure.

Please advise.

Regards,
Tim
