    Hello Readers,
    This tutorial will guide you about controller overriding using config.xml. Here i am giving an example "to override Customer AccountController".

    Lets start by creating the following folders:
    app/code/local/Custom/Registration/etc
    app/code/local/Custom/Registration/controllers


    1. Create a file config.xml (under /app/code/local/Custom/Registration/etc).

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <config>
        <modules>
            <Custom_Registration>
                <version>1.0.1</version>
            </Custom_Registration>
        </modules>
    
            <frontend>
                <routers>
                    <customer>
                        <args>
                            <modules>
                                <custom_registration before="Mage_Customer">Custom_Registration_Customer</custom_registration>
                            </modules>
                        </args>
                    </customer>
                </routers>
            </frontend>
    </config>

    <custom_registration before="Mage_Checkout">Custom_Registration_Customer</custom_registration> tag tell Magento that firstly load our custom controller files before the mage_customer core files.

     

    2. Create a controller file "app/code/local/Custom/Registration/controllers/Customer/AccountController.php" and paste the following contents in that file.

    <?php
     require_once 'Mage/Customer/controllers/AccountController.php';
    class Custom_Registration_Customer_AccountController extends Mage_Customer_AccountController
    {
            public function createAction()
        {
            echo "Account controller is overriden"; die;
           
        }
    
    }
    
    

     

    3. Next step is to tell Magento to load our module and to do this we need to create a file Custom_Registration.xml under /app/etc/modules and paste the following code:  

     <?xml version="1.0"?>
        <config>
            <modules>
                <Custom_Registration>
                    <active>true</active>    //  is active or not
                    <codePool>local</codePool> //location of the module i.e inside the local folder
                </Custom_Registration>
            </modules>
        </config>
