billy98111 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I am trying to override the template file at /modules/servers/cpanel/templatesoverview.tpl with this one located at /templates/customtemplates/modules/servers/cpanel/overview.tpl, but it does nothing. If I edit the first original one it works but I don't want to lose my changes when I update WHMCS and that's really how you're supposed to do it. The link below is what I am referring to. Any help is appreciated. https://docs.whmcs.com/Working_with_Module_Templates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian! Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 it might be helpful to add which WHMCS version you are using. my recollection is that it does (did) work as you describe, but I haven't tested this on recent versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I created the /modules/servers/cpanel/overview.tpl folders/file in /templates/six and added {debug} to the template code - then logged into the client area and viewed an active cpanel service... and the popup window appeared - which confirms that it's using the template in templates/six and not the default one in /modules... and making further modifications to that template confirms that it's using the duplicate rather than the original... even if I rename the "Six" template to "Seven", this still works. so in answer to your question, I doubt upgrading would help - there is something else going on here that is preventing it from working... it could be an issue with your custom template (that might depend if it's a 3rd-party template or just a renamed/modified "Six")... perhaps you've got the path wrong to the modified overview.tpl and it's not finding it, and thus defaulting to the original version. the simplest test for that would be to switch to using "Six", upload the overview.tpl folder to the appropriate path in /templates/six/modules/servers/cpanel/, modify it in some way and see if that works - if it does, then that would point to an issue with your custom template (or the path to it).

billy98111 Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 Thanks! It works now. It was just in the wrong location. Originally I placed it in /templates/customtemplates/modules/servers/cpanel/overview.tpl instead of the template directory I already created which is /templates/sixcustom/modules/servers/cpanel/overview.tpl. I assume you had to create brand new folder but I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
