I am using the Joomla 3. I would like to know how can I override the Joomla search plugin under template.

I tried copying these files

/plugins/search/k2/k2.php
/plugins/search/k2/k2.xml

under the /templates/MY_TEMPLATE_NAME/html to create plg_search_k2 folder. It doesn't work. Anyone know how can we override the search plugin?

Use the Template Manager for create your overrides, first see the step bu step here:

Now create your override in the Column Modules > mod_k2_tools Find the file in:
/templates/your_template/html/mod_k2_tools/search.php

Find another example specifically for plugins here:
https://docs.joomla.org/Layout_Overrides_in_Joomla

  • I am using the Joomla search, not the K2 tool search. You suggested answer is to override the module k2 tools. I just want to edit these two files /plugins/search/k2/k2.php /plugins/search/k2/k2.xml – Alan May 13 '16 at 04:22
  • In the name of your files you mention k2, find an example for plugins in the last link for this block "Plugin Override example" – AlejandroVega May 13 '16 at 04:29
  • Yes, I have tried that example before, but it seems do not work on the search plugin. I just wonder is there any other alternative. – Alan May 13 '16 at 06:00
