How to override mod_relateditems_xtd output?

Hi There!

We bought the extension "Related Items Extended" for Joomla! 3.
We were trying to override its files (views and some css files) un our template folder, but nothing seems to get affected:

We tried:
/templates/[ OUR TEMPLATE ]/html/mod_relateditems_xtd/tmpl/default.php
And
/templates/[ OUR TEMPLATE ]/html/mod_relateditems_xtd/assets/css/style.css

But these overrides are not working :(
Is there any special way to override this module? We used to override the output of all modules like this.

Thanks!

Hi Nikola,
For the PHP, yes that's the correct way but not for css.
You can put your css place in any place you want, but you need to call it from your template or from the /templates/[ OUR TEMPLATE ]/html/mod_relateditems_xtd/tmpl/default.php by adding code like this :

$doc = JFactory::getDocument();
$doc->addStyleSheet('path/to/the/new/style.css');

Thank you for the response!

Actually it turned out the correct path was:
/templates/[ OUR TEMPLATE ]/html/mod_relateditems_xtd/default.php

I can confirm it's working the Joomla! is catching it. I edited the PHP file to load my CSS override. (this path seems NOT correct but for some reason it's working!).

Best,

Hi Again!

Thx a lot for the response! :)

Now another override issue popup in.
Overriding this file:
/modules/mod_relateditems_xtd/mod_relateditems_xtd.php

Should obviously be:
/templates/[ OUR TEMPLATE ]/html/mod_relateditems_xtd/mod_relateditems_xtd.php

But nop. It'a not taking it :(
I can't figure out why Joomla! is treating this module override differently?? Is there anything special about it?

Thanks!

Hi Nikola, You can't override non tmpl file. so you can't override mod_xxx.php nor helper.php. You're allowed to override template files only (files under tmpl folder)

Hi Admin! :)

Thank you very much for your response!

Actually this is unfortunate because we want to change the call of the CSS file to ours and it's located inside "mod_relateditems_xtd.php" :(
