Today we talk about how in Magento 2 move remove block layout. This tutorial includes how to remove block, how to move container and how to remove container.You can move block from one container to another but using the move handle. Same as you can remove any block with remove handle. First we will show the example how we remove the breadcrumbs block. Use the handle of referenceBlock and add the name reference you want to remove. You can check the layout files where the breadcrumbs block is define.

Remove Block

Now we add example code in our default.xml or you want to remove for any specific page block then add his layout file. Now you can remove breadcrumbs by simply adding this code.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
<referenceBlock name="breadcrumbs" remove="true"/>
</body>
</page>

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
<body>
<referenceContainer name="page.top" remove="true"/>
</body>
</page>

You can use this example to remove any block.

Move Block

For moving the block from one container to another. Just add element Name in my example i am moving the page.top block to store.menu.container. Now below is example code.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">

Magento 2 override phtml file in custom module

Today we talk about how to override the magento 2 phtml file in custom module. First thing is simple just create xml file default.xml in your module layout folder. Then call the referenceBlock name you want to override in your module. There are two possible way to do that.

First:

Using the layout file to override the phtml file. You must be aware of block name of phtml file. Now use below simple code to override.

<referenceBlock name="block-name">
<action method="setTemplate">
<argument name="template" xsi:type="string">'QaisarSatti_HelloWorld::path/to/my/file.phtml </argument>
</action>
</referenceBlock>

Note
This solution requires finding all instances where the block is used and create as many xml files as handles in which it is used.

Second:

The block is used very often or you want to make sure each new usage will not require adding this kind of configuration you can do it using plugin.

Declare your plugin either in etc/di.xml or etc/frontend/di.xml

And then create a class QaisarSatti\HelloWorld\Plugin\Block with content like

<?php
namespace QaisarSatti\HelloWorld\Plugin;

class Block
{
public function beforeToHtml(\Other\Module\Block $block)
{
$block->setTemplate('QaisarSatti_HelloWorld::path/to/my/file.phtml');
}
}

Note:
This way you enforce use of this template in each instance so you will be no longer available to set it different just for 1 usage in layout xml file (unless you will add some flag to the block and a logic to check it in the plugin).
