How to add new template for shopping cart module?

[markus.palsson]

Hi!

I want to customize the shopping cart module template, but I don't want to modify the core template file. How do I add a new template? I tried to copy the default.php template, rename it and then change in the xml file from "default.php" to "my_template.php", but still the original template was loaded. Any suggestions?

You need to put the override file into your Joomla template's html directory as decsribed in http://www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/overrides/

The override file should still be named the same as the original template file.
