Administrator template override

[mtaras]

Hi I 've try to implement an override of the admin views of VM2 in my default template.
I try to override the /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/views/product/tmpl/product_edit_information.php as /administrator/templates/com_virtuemart/product/product_edit_information.php but nothing overrides. I can just override the /administrator/templates/com_virtuemart/product/default.php in general the default.php file of the views, not some other file? Is that a bug or I could override with some other method?

have you found out the solution ?

Unfortunately not yet.

have you tried having BOTH files in the admin override folder?

[emicoma]

I just found this post that could give a solution, but not tried yet :

Thanks alot! 

Why this was not in the last virtuemart update? Nobody knows... 

line 57 in /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/views/product/view.html.php

Code Select Expand

//$this->addTemplatePath(JPATH_COMPONENT_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'views'.DS.'product'.DS.'tmpl');

I think it was kept in to allow admin to edit product in the frontend. Other views are fine to override.

Without it I think the frontend cannot find the view

As I NEVER allow editing in the frontend it is ok for me to remove this line and create my view override in the backend for products.
