Customize Everything with Overrides

In the previous chapter, we explored Joomla templates, the options to customize them, and the differences between template styles.

We’ll now look at overrides, a feature that enhances the level of flexibility of Joomla, increasing the number of ways you can customize your website.

After reading this chapter, you will be able to do the following:

• Understand what overrides are
• Create an override for a module view
• Create an override for a component view
• Create a language override

Note

Creating overrides requires HTML, PHP, and CSS knowledge.
