Overriding Plugin Theme

Overriding Plugin Theme

EasySocial allows you to override the default plugin's theme with your Joomla template. This is ideal when you need to override the plugin's theme but do not want the updates to override the changes.

Default Storage

Each plugin may have different storage path. Plugin's theme can be located at the following folder:

/plugins/<PLUGIN_TYPE>/<PLUGIN_NAME>/themes/

Overriding Themes

To create an override for your plugin's theme, simply create the new theme files in the following location:

/templates/<YOUR_JOOMLA_TEMPLATE>/html/<PLUGIN_NAME>/

Note: YOUR_JOOMLA_TEMPLATE - This is referring to your current Joomla template.

Example 1: For example, lets override Docker plugin. The default storage path of this plugin's theme will be in the following folder:

/plugins/system/docker/themes/default.php

So, the override folder in your template should be:

/templates/PROTOSTAR/html/plg_system_docker/default.php
