Magento

Hi, I need to override the default sales/orders/history.phtml template, but how can I do that without creating a whole new theme or replacing the default magento file?

You can use the following lines in your module layout file to override the above template:

<yourmodule_sales_index>
<reference name="sales.order.history">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>yourmodule/history.phtml</template></action>
</reference>
</yourmodule_sales_index>

The sales.order.history is the name of actual history.phtml reference which you can find out in sales.xml.

Hello, If I want to modify the success page then how can I do that . I am new to magento so please give me the exact way.
I have tried it exactly what you have explained above but i couldn’t got correctly. So please help. I am finding great difficulty in dealing with the placing of xml files and tags
Pleas help

Can you please share your code, so I can see and help you?

thank you for your kind reply.

here you can find my config.xml http://pastebin.com/Lkr6ScD1

And created the following folder structure

\magento\app\design\frontend\default\EsrTemplate\template\EsrPaymentModule\Onepage\success.phtml

and

C:\xampp\htdocs\magento\app\design\frontend\default\EsrTemplate\layout\EsrPaymentModule.xml

and the xml is here --- http://pastebin.com/4sdvAN6T

Thanx in advance..................

Hai all I sorted it out .
thanx..

Atoz,

Can you explain how you handled it?

I want to override the billing.phtml file for Onepage Checkout because I want to add a field to the form.

I was thinking maybe I should use the existing billing.phtml file and copy it on my module setup and insert my line of code? Does that sound right or should I just use my own files for this and reference them as mentioned above.

I was hoping you would share your steps to success with doing this.

Thanks,
Mike
