Override Layout Core Files in Magento

Sometimes we are required to do some changes in our core phtml files. Its a good habit of every Magento programmer to override the core file instead of the making change in the core file.

To do so overriding the core file can be done as :

Step 1

Under your local folder, create a new folder in the path  /app/local/Over/Ride. In that folder make a file config.xml in etc folder with the below code :

1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
2. <config>
3.   <modules>
4.       <Over_Ride>
5.           <version>0.0.1</version>
6.       </Over_Ride>
7.   </modules>
8.   <frontend>
9.       <layout>
