How Would I Override This File? /templates/shaper_helixultimate/features/menu.php?
Brad Thompson
I'm looking to override /templates/shaper_helixultimate/features/menu.php
I've put it in /templates/shaper_helixultimate/overrides/features/menu.php and it's not working.
What am I doing wrong?

Accepted AnswerHello Brad Thompson
There is a way. You have to take a separate file (for example: mymenu.php)
templates/shaper_helixultimate/features/mymenu.php
There is a class HelixUltimateFeatureMenu in menu.php file. In your file, you have to change it to HelixUltimateFeatureMymenu.
Then you have to do the same on the Header. For example, you will use style 1 header. So, you have to take a new file (for example: myheader.php)
templates/shaper_helixultimate/headers/style-1/myheader.php
There you have to update the path as include_once $feature_folder_path . '/mymenu.php'; and update HelixUltimateFeatureMymenu
Then if you install the template again, it will update original menu.php and header.php. Your mymenu.php and myheader.php will be safe.

Accepted AnswerOnce again - there's a complete disregard for how Joomla and updates are meant to work!
The Joomla override system is designed SPECIFICALLY to avoid updates breaking customisations. Unfortunately it seems JoomShaper don't care about this functionality OR the ability of their customers to keep systems working and up to date.
I am increasingly concerned about the complete lack of proper adhesion to Joomla rules, and the utter incompetence of support in a lot of these cases!
