Help with overwriting .phtml file in Magento 2.2.7

I need some advice how to overwrite category description 'block?' from file /app/design/frontend/Mgs/mgsblank/Magento_Catalog/templates/category/description.phtml

I want to use my own module which I've created. I've tried many tutorials but still doesn't work.

Basically I need to load my custom description.phtml with my module. Appreciate any help

Yeah I've managed to make it works!

Final code

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance dc" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<referenceBlock name="category.description">
    <action method="setTemplate">
          <argument name="template" xsi:type="string">UNBXD_CategoryBanner::catalog/category/description.phtml </argument>
    </action>
</referenceBlock>
</page>

Re: Help with overwriting .phtml file in Magento 2.2.7

based on this tutorial:

 

2. Using Module Level,
You can override template file using the Module level.
You need to create layout XML file from your controller action,
app/code/<Vendor>_<Module>/view/frontend/layout/catalog_category_view.xml

 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="2columns-left" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
<referenceBlock name="category.products.list">
<arguments>
<argument name="template" xsi:type="string">Vendor_Module:Smiley Tongueroduct/list.phtml</argument>
</arguments>
</referenceBlock>
</body>
</page>

 

 

I have no idea how should I call referenceBlock name to match category view

I tried category.description with no luck.

Re: Help with overwriting .phtml file in Magento 2.2.7

category.description should work.


because in default file there is same name.

 

<block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Category\View" name="category.description" template="Magento_Catalog::category/description.phtml"/


Make sure that you have flushed cache after change and static-content redeployed.

Also catalog_category_view.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance dc" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<referenceBlock name="category.description">
<action method="setTemplate">
<argument name="template" xsi:type="string">UNBXD_CategoryBanner::view/frontend/templates/catalog/category/description.phtml </argument>
</action>
</referenceBlock>
</page>
I really don't know what else I can do....

Re: Help with overwriting .phtml file in Magento 2.2.7

Following block should be:

<argument name="template" xsi:type="string">UNBXD_CategoryBanner::catalog/category/description.phtml</argument>
