Override /@username users module view from addon ServiceProvider

finnito - 6 months ago

Hey all,

I'm attempting to override the /@username view of the Users Module in order to provide a better front-end interface for a module I am creating. I have read the page on how to override views and settled on doing it through the service provider as that allows me to take the override with me when I install a module without having to worry about publishing the addon or anything weird.

My addon has the slug: finnito.module.members and I've opened up MembersModuleServiceProvider.php and added:

/**
     * The addon view overrides.
     *
     * @type array|null
     */
    protected $overrides = [
        "anomaly.module.users::users.view" => "finnito.module.members::users.view",
    ];

And I created the view in addons/pyrotest/finnito/members-module/resources/views/users/view.twig

{% extends layout('users') %}

{% block content %}

    <p>Some different content should go here</p>

{% endblock %}

But to no avail. I also tried making the override like this because I was a little unsure of the syntax:

/**
     * The addon view overrides.
     *
     * @type array|null
     */
    protected $overrides = [
        "anomaly.module.users::users/view" => "finnito.module.members::users/view",
    ];

But I'm not having any luck. I'm sure it's just a little thing I've missed, so any pointers would be much appreciated!

I figured out that I can do it like this:

        // Disable routes
        "register" => [
            "as" => "finnito.module.members",
            "uses" => "Finnito\MembersModule\Http\Controller\MembersController@disable",
        ],
        '@{username}' => [
            "as" => "finnito.module.members",
            "uses" => "Finnito\MembersModule\Http\Controller\MembersController@disable",
        ],

Where that controller method just does abort(404).
