Hi,
I want to add a custom phtml to the customer account dashboard.
I find a solution by copying the dashboard.phtml to my own template and adding a my custom phtml.
Is there another solution?
Whats the best way to do that?
Regards
Marco

Hello,
In my opinion, I think the best way to this is that we will copy exist dashboard.phtml from base/default or rwd/default theme to your current theme.
There is another solution: you create new template, you change xml layout to your custom template. For example: assume that your current theme is rwd/default:
You create customdashboard.phtml template and put it under customer/account folder. Go to customer.xml, find customer_account_index, change:
<block type="customer/account_dashboard" name="customer_account_dashboard" template="customer/account/dashboard.phtml">
to your custom dashboard:
<block type="customer/account_dashboard" name="customer_account_dashboard" template="customer/account/customdashboard.phtml">

Thanks for your suggestions.
I decided to create a copy of dashboard.phtml to make my changes, because this better for updates.
