Magento

Hello

I’m wondering how I could create a custom top.links.phtml. I would need to add some additional code to it to style it up the way I want it but don’t want to edit the core file.

The top.links.phtml sets the My Account, My Cart, Checkout and Log In links at the top of the default layout.

I don’t need to change anything in the Toplinks.php file but I realise I might have to make a local version of this one as well as the phtml template is specified in this file and not in the xml.

I would just need a pointer to how to start. Do I need to create a custom module for this?

Thanks!

You would just need to make a custom template and copy the file you want to override in it. Look at the designers guide in the wiki for an in-depth look at templating.

I guess I would have to create a local copy of the Toplinks.php file as well? In essence create a custom module.

I tried just creating a local copy of the phtml template and then reference this in the page.xml file but that doesn’t work.

Thanks
