Overwrite default view

[kodyxgen]

Hi,
is there a way to overwrite the default view from component/com_virtuemart/views in that way that if i make an update and the view file is updated i dont have to make all over all my changes to it?

Thank you.

Yes, use template overrides.

Thank you for the quick replay

I know that the files in the tmpl folder can be added to the template file  /mytemplate/html/com_virtuemart/category/default.php,
but my interest is in view.html.php.
Can i use the same overwrite method for view.html.php to?

Thank you.

No, that is effectively a core hack. If what you require cannot be written into a template override or by using a plugin then you only option will be to reapply the hack with everu update (ie every few weeks).
