I have copied app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/controllers/OnepageController.php to app/code/local/Mage/Checkout/controllers/OnepageController.php and overrided one function. I have also refreshed caches, but overrided controller is not called, instead original controller is called.

Why isn't my override working? I have done same kind of override for other core files and that worked well.

    Controller files are not (cannot be) included by the autoloader, hence the include path precedence does not apply. – benmarks Oct 30 '12 at 12:03

  1. Is compilation turned off?

  2. Try creating your own controller to overriding a core controller instead of copying and editing a Magento core file.

  • 1. Compilation is turned off. 2. I created own controller, but it ruined something else, so I figured out that it would be easier to just override it like that. – newbie Oct 30 '12 at 08:39
  • Is your OnepageController already overridden/extended by some other module? – Edd Oct 30 '12 at 08:43
  • No it's not, I checked this form Eclipse and even added debug to original file and original file with debug was called. – newbie Oct 30 '12 at 08:46

    I managed to override controller with changes to my own module config.xml, I had to use line My_Module. Apparently you cannot override files in controllers folder. – newbie Oct 30 '12 at 08:53
