-- Normally you must not change FLEXIcontent core files, for consistency reasons plus they are overwritten when you upgrade FLEXIcontent.
-- But you can use a joomla template override for customizing any template file of FLEXIcontent view.
The template files of all FLEXIcontent view are
components/com_flexicontent/views/.../tmpl/default.php
components/com_flexicontent/views/.../tmpl/form.php
components/com_flexicontent/views/.../tmpl/special.php
e.g. the default template of view myview is
components/com_flexicontent/views/myview/tmpl/default.php
To create a customization override view of it
- copy above file to templates/mytemplate/html/com_flexicontent/myview/default.php
- modify it, to suit your needs
Now you can upgrade to newer FLEXIcontent versions without losing your customizations
tags view example:
components/com_flexicontent/views/tags/tmpl/default.php
copy to:
templates/mytemplate/html/com_flexicontent/tags/default.php
search view example:
components/com_flexicontent/views/search/tmpl/default.php
components/com_flexicontent/views/search/tmpl/default_error.php
components/com_flexicontent/views/search/tmpl/default_form.php
components/com_flexicontent/views/search/tmpl/default_results.php
copy to:
templates/mytemplate/html/com_flexicontent/search/default.php
templates/mytemplate/html/com_flexicontent/search/default_error.php
templates/mytemplate/html/com_flexicontent/search/default_form.php
templates/mytemplate/html/com_flexicontent/search/default_results.php
TIP 1: You can -not- override the view file components/com_flexicontent/views/myview/view.html.php, but you can copy code from this file, to your joomla template override
