I want to override the contact page frontend from my module file.

To override the frontend template of contact form, i have created module and in that module i have created layout file mymodule.xml in app/design/frontend/base/layout/mymodule/mymodule.xml in this file i have copied following code:

 <layout version="0.1.0"> <contacts_index_index translate="label"> <label>Contact Form</label> <reference name="head"> <action method="setTitle" translate="title" module="contacts"><title>Contact You Us</title></action> </reference> <reference name="root"> <action method="setTemplate"> <template>page/1column.phtml</template></action> <action method="setHeaderTitle" translate="title" module="contacts"><title>Contact Us</title></action> </reference> <update handle="cms_menu"/> <reference name="content"> <block type="core/template" name="contactForm" template="mymodule/form.phtml"/> </reference> </contacts_index_index> </layout>

I did following code in my module's xml file but it doesn't loading from my module. What could be the issue?

Any help would be appreciated

  • so your custom contact phtml should display for your custom action or in all page? Commented Jul 26, 2018 at 6:44

You have to first add your "mymodule.xml" file in yourmodule/etc/config.xml file like below:-

 <layout> <updates> <contacts> <file>mymodule.xml</file> </contacts> </updates> </layout>

After that you have to add your code in mymodule.xml file. You have to also create form.phtml file and put that file in app/design/frontend/base/template/mymodule/form.phtml. Hope it works.

Create "local.xml" under "app/design/frontend/themepackage/theme/layout".

Add below lines of code.

<?xml version="1.0"?> <layout version="0.1.0"> <contacts_index_index translate="label"> <reference name="content"> <block type="core/template" name="contactForm" template="contacts/custom_contact.phtml"/> </reference> </contacts_index_index> </layout>
