Template overrides - Plugins? was created by afish674

Hi,

I'm trying to override a line on the checkout page where next to the payment checkbox, it has a description of the payment.

I have located the php file in plugins>hikashoppayment>paypal>paypal.php

I saved a copy and then I changed the source code on lines 392-393 to read:

Code:

				$element->payment_description='<p>You can pay by credit card or paypal using this payment method</p>';
				$element->payment_images='PayPal';

I saved the copy in templates>mytemplate>html>plugins>hikashoppayment>paypal>paypal.php

However this hasn't overwritten the original. Have I done everything correctly? Or is it just impossible to do?

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

You can't override plugins. The structure of joomla does not allow for that.
If you want to change the image/description of the plugin, just edit the options of the plugin and change the image/description with the provided options. There is no need to edit any code.
