Layout Overrides

EngageBox uses the Joomla MVC, that means you can copy any view or layout in your own template and personalize it as you want. Each box type (Custom Text, Email Subscription Form, Load Existing Module e.t.c.) is using its own separate layout file which can be overridden in your own template by just copying that file to your template folder.

The layout overrides feature requires EngageBox v4.2.1+

Override the main layout

To override the main layout used to display each popup, copy the file

/administrator/components/com_rstbox/layouts/box.php

to your template's html folder

/templates/TEMPLATE_NAME/html/layouts/com_rstbox/box.php

Each EngageBox box type is shipped as a separate Joomla plugin and its layout can be overriden in your template. The available plugin names are:

Box Type Plugin Name

To override the layout of a box type, copy the file
