I have created a custom module in Magento 2.1.3 and its layout file is located in

app/code/RP/Testmodule/view/frontend/layout/customer_account_create.xml

but the system loads the layout from

vendor/magento/module-customer/view/frontend/layout/customer_account_create.xml

instead of my custom layout file.

How can I override this vendor layout file with my custom layout file?

My customer_account_create.xml file is

<?xml version="1.0"?> <page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd"> <body> <referenceBlock name="customer_form_register"> <arguments> <argument name="template" xsi:type="string">RP_Testmodule::form/register.phtml</argument> </arguments> </referenceBlock> </body> </page>

but the module does not take this layout.

I have created the resister.phtml and it is located in

app/code/RP/Testmodule/view/frontend/templates/form/register.phtml

My register.phtml file is

<h1>Test</h1>

My module.xml file is

app/code/RP/Testmodule/etc/module.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?> <config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd"> <module name="RP_Testmodule" setup_version="1.0.0"> <sequence> <module name="Magento_Customer" /> </sequence> </module> </config>

My di.xml file is

app/code/RP/Testmodule/etc/frontend/di.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?> <config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd"> </config>

My registration.php file is

app/code/RP/Testmodule/registration.php

<?php \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register( \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE, 'RP_Testmodule', __DIR__ );

These commands are executed successfully

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

php bin/magento setup:di:compile

php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

php bin/magento cache:clean

php bin/magento cache:flush

But all after that, still it's not working.

Thanks in advance

Try this:

 <referenceBlock name="customer_form_register"> <action method="setTemplate"> <argument name="template" xsi:type="string">RP_Testmodule::form/register.phtml</argument> </action> </referenceBlock>

This is working for me.

Change to your template with:

<referenceBlock name="customer_form_register" template="Vendor_Modulename::filename.phtml"/>
