Hi,

The support documents are quite out of date and not relevent to my question.

I need to create an override for the file that loads a single product. It looks like thats via your plugin system. What's the best way to achieve this?

The specific file I need is found at plugins\j2store\app_bootstrap3\app_bootstrap3\tmpl\tag_bootstrap3\default.php

I can temporarily modify this file, but it will be replaced on an update, so I'd rather work on an override.

Regards.

Dave,

 

We are very well aware of the documention and will be working on updating it to match the new J2Commerce links, extensions, etc. Our priority since taking over this project at the end of October was to make sure J3 users were able to migrate to Joomla 5 and the only way that could happen was to migrate the 100's of extensions that were not migrated. We are almost done with that phase , but more importantly, the answer to your question is this:

in your template's html folder, you can create the overrides you need for any of the subtemplate layouts that are now plugins by adding those files you wish to override in the following folder:

templates/<your default template>/html/com_j2store/templates/bootstrap3

or for the tag view

templates/<your default template>/html/com_j2store/templates/tag_bootstrap3

 

changes you make in here won't get overriden.

 

Also, our Bootstrap 3 & 4 plugins won't be included in future updates and will be made available as a free apps from 4.1 onwards...
