Magento 1.9 – How to Change Template Layout for Customer ‘My Account’ Page

ce-1.9.0.1customlayouttemplate

This might be very basic…

I need to change the Template Layout for the "My Account" page

It is currently using:
frontend/mypackage/mytheme/template/page/2columns-left.phtml

And I need to change it to:
frontend/mypackage/mytheme/template/page/1column.phtml

I can't see any way to change it… I don't even know which file the template is defined. It might be using the 'default' setting – but I don't know where that is populated. Please help 🙂

It seems you are using a theme. It might have it's own XML to define layouts or not, since i dont know the theme i cant tell you. But the most normal way to do this is to open customer.xml in the layout folder of your theme and find the path to the My account page (customer_account_index) and change your layout from there. See this, it is very similar to your question and might help you.

What Sets Template page/html/head.phtml in Magento

Here the template file is not set through xml, rather it is defined in block. at location

app/code/core/mage/page/html/head.php

you will see this code

protected function _construct()
{
    $this->setTemplate('page/html/head.phtml');
    $this->setData('is_enterprise', Mage::getEdition() == Mage::EDITION_ENTERPRISE);
}

this piece of code is responsible for setting head.phtml template

Did you try to change the default layout template via backend? Wordpress > settings > Template

It is saved in your DB under the core_config table.

To control the layout via XML you need to select -- Default template -- and this will read the value in your XML file
