I am using JA_Mero and it has made changes to the com_contact contact default view. How can I override this?

Usually, I would override Joomla’s template like this:

Original: /components/com_contact/views/contact/tmpl/default.php
Override: /templates/ja_mero/html/com_contact/contact/default.php

However, there is a file located here:
/plugins/system/jat3v3/t3v3base/html/contact/default.php

This override in the t3v3base seems to be overriding my override. Any ideas why this is, or how I can get around it?

Thanks.

Hello asnowdon,

It’s an issue of T3v3. It’ll be fixed in next version of T3v3. For temporary fix, please open “/plugins/system/jat3v3/includes/joomla30/viewlegacy.php” file (for Joomla 3.0) or “/plugins/system/jat3v3/includes/joomla25/view.php” file (for Joomla 2.5), then search “T3” keyword in its code. After that, move “$this->_addPath(‘template’, T3V3_PATH.’/html/’ . $component . ‘/’ . $this->getName());” line to above “$this->_addPath(‘template’, T3V3_PATH.’/html/’ . $component . ‘/’ . $this->getName());” line.

New code should be:
[PHP]
if (isset($app))
{
//if it is T3 template, update search path for template
$this->_addPath(‘template’, T3V3_PATH.’/html/’ . $component . ‘/’ . $this->getName());

$component = preg_replace(‘/[^A-Z0-9_.-]/i’, ”, $component);
$fallback = JPATH_THEMES . ‘/’ . $app->getTemplate() . ‘/html/’ . $component . ‘/’ . $this->getName();
$this->_addPath(‘template’, $fallback);
}
[/PHP]

Regards.

My mistake it works. Overriding folder was not correct.
