Unable to override com_weblinks - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

i pretty familiar overrides there seems 1 or 2 don;t seem work intended.

i reading post: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=544&t=333507&p=1832764#p1832764 , thought myself: "this job override"!

since working on seo screencast joomla figured ad example.

the idea in post add rel="nofollow" output of com_weblinks. in post 1 of responders reccomends following:

go com_weblinks folder , edit weblinks.html.php

change this
code:

code: select all

// open in new window
               $item->link = '<a href="'. $link .'" target="_blank"  class="'. $menuclass .'">'. $this->escape($item->title) .'</a>';

so went work on local built of beez running on mac , in short order found file original post identified weblinks.html.php somehow been changed view.html.php

no matter, code same , making change core file in components directory able have change stick.

then went add file beez template using on test site , change not take. tried several ways, seems built ignoring change make file.

in other words, copied view.html.php , placed in com_weblinks directory inside beez/html/ directory. can't see reason why not work, doesn't.

am doing wrong? should add use overrides , work fine. instance, when use third party modules don;t have override built in able add inserting

code: select all

require(jmodulehelper::getlayoutpath('mod_feed'));

at end of page. however, components wasn't able find equivalent snippet accomplish same thing (give override abilities page).

any reason why override not working? thank you

when using ftp

remove org file.
then place override version.

ftp don't override org file in experiance.

from rest of story can't see why doesn't work.

you edited /templates/beez/com_weblinks/view...
this file used override default view in components\com_weblinks\...

- using beez template on test site ?
