How to Override a phtml File Using a Custom Module in Magento 2
It is well known that customizing the core Magento 2 functionality is a bad coding practice. Once you upgrade the Magento version, your efforts are in vain. Hence, it is advisable to override a function, class or file, as per the requirement.
Here, I’ll show you how to override a phtml file using a custom module in Magento 2.
There are two methods to do so as mentioned below:
Methods to Override a phtml file using a custom module in Magento 2:
- Create file registration.php at app/code/Vendor/Extension/ folder123456<?php\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,'Vendor_Extension',__DIR__);
- Create module.xml file at app/code/Vendor/Extension/etc/ folder123456<?xml version="1.0"?><config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd"><module name="Vendor_Extension" setup_version="1.0.0"></module></config>
- Create file customer_account_create.xml at app/code/Vendor/Extension/view/frontend/layout/ folder12345678910<?xml version="1.0"?><page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd"><body><referenceBlock name="customer_form_register"><action method="setTemplate"><argument name="template" xsi:type="string">Vendor_Extension::form/register.phtml</argument></action></referenceBlock></body></page>
now you need to create register.phtml at location app/code/Vendor/Extension/view/frontend/templates/form/
That’s it.
