The question:
in Magento 1.x you could duplicate the extensions to app/design/frontend/themeName/default/template/or/layout and then modify it’s layout or functionality via xml or phtml files.
How do we duplicate and edit certain modules now in M2? I have looked over the docs but couldn’t find this info. For example i wish to edit phtml of module-catalog/view/frontend/templates/product/gallery.phtml correct way by having theme based module overwrite and now edit core modules within vendor/magento*/ folder.
Thanks for the help.
The Solutions:
Below are the methods you can try. The first solution is probably the best. Try others if the first one doesn’t work. Senior developers aren’t just copying/pasting – they read the methods carefully & apply them wisely to each case.
Method 1
With version 2.0.0 release(not Github), You should do as below
Copy templates need to make override in:
vendor/magento/<module_name>/view/frontend/templates
Location contain templates using to override:
app/design/frontend/<Vendor_Theme>/<name_theme>/Magento_<module_name>/templates
Example
You want override a template in: vendor/magento/module-catalog/view/frontend/templates/product/list.phtml
You create a file have path as: app/design/frontend/<Vendor_Theme>/<name_theme>/Magento_Catalog/templates/product/list.phtml
