Administrator template overrides

[Gloop]

I've modified

Code: Select all

administrator/components/com_media/views/images/tmpl/default.php

I'm now trying to implement it as an override for the default Isis template.

I've copied it to:

Code: Select all

administrator/templates/isis/html/com_media/images/default.php

but it's not working as I'd expect it to. The only way I can get it to work is if I delete/rename default.php in the core files, but otherwise it seems to be ignored.

What am I doing wrong?

Using the Template manager https://docs.joomla.org/J3.x:How_to_use ... _Overrides
The override is created in
\administrator\templates\isis\html\com_media\images\default.php

Editing
administrator/components/com_media/views/images/tmpl/default.php with xxxxx

override 01.JPG

\administrator\templates\isis\html\com_media\images\default.php with zzzzzz

override 02.JPG

The override is not applying because xxxx is still displayed

override 03.JPG

Addendum
One of the devs is on it https://groups.google.com/d/msg/joomla- ... __LTbyBgAJ

Excellent answer, many thanks. An additional cheers for also bringing it to the dev's attention.

Patch has been tested and RTC(Ready To Commit) http://issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms/8016 .

Normally it is not recommended to edit core files but for this bug it should be OK for you to make the simple edit in /administrator/components/com_media/controller.php
