Magento 1 – Overwrite Template of sales_email_order_items

magento-1template

I am always confused by Magento's template hierarchy. Within my email template, I can find this path:

{{layout handle="sales_email_order_items" order=$order}}

I navigate to my themes folder in app/design/frontend/default/ves_fashion/layout and cannot find the sales.xml. Thats why I go to app/design/frontend/base/default/layout and see the sales.xml. Inside this xml file I look for "sales_email_order_items".

   <sales_email_order_items>
        <block type="sales/order_email_items" name="items" template="email/order/items.phtml">
            <action method="addItemRender"><type>default</type><block>sales/order_email_items_order_default</block><template>email/order/items/order/default.phtml</template></action>
            <action method="addItemRender"><type>grouped</type><block>sales/order_email_items_order_grouped</block><template>email/order/items/order/default.phtml</template></action>
            <block type="sales/order_totals" name="order_totals" template="sales/order/totals.phtml">

I can find the template files in the folder app/design/frontend/base/default/template/sales/order/

I read that I just have to copy the default.phtml and the totals.phtml in the same path for my theme which is app/design/frontend/default/ves_fashion/layout but when I do this nothing changes. Why? Do I have to copy the sales.xml to my themes folder?

Almost there,

If you look on the xml handle configuration you can find the path of temaplte for the email <block type="sales/order_email_items" name="items" template="email/order/items.phtml"> the path of emails templates are under base/default/template/email/order/*

Please try to duplicate that path on you theme and let me know.

Best, ALe.
