Magento overriding core controller in local folder

2
votes

I have copied app/code/core/Mage/Checkout/controllers/OnepageController.php to app/code/local/Mage/Checkout/controllers/OnepageController.php and overrided one function. I have also refreshed caches, but overrided controller is not called, instead original controller is called.

Why isn't my override working? I have done same kind of override for other core files and that worked well.

Controller files are not (cannot be) included by the autoloader, hence the include path precedence does not apply. – benmarks

  1. Is compilation turned off?

  2. Try creating your own controller to overriding a core controller instead of copying and editing a Magento core file.
