Hi All

This is different to the usual "how do I override a renderer in my theme?" problem, hence my posting the question.

So what I am trying to do is override the output from the myoverview block (which produces the "Course overview" content on the Dashboard page) and add an "un-enrol me" link to each course record displayed.

I can override the mustache templates and add the extra elements to display the link, no problem. However, I need to generate the link and pass it into the renderer context and this is where I have a problem.

The block has the following renderer structure:

myoverview - classes - output + courses-view.php
                              + main.php
                              + renderer.php

and I believe I need to inject the link in courses-view.php, so to that effect I have created an override in my theme:

mytheme - classes - output - block_myoverview - courses-view.php

courses-view.php

<?php
// This file is part of Moodle - http://moodle.org/
//
...
namespace theme_mytheme\output\block_myoverview;
defined('MOODLE_INTERNAL') || die();
...
/**
 * Export this data so it can be used as the context for a mustache template.
 *
 * @param \renderer_base $output
 * @return array
 */
public function export_for_template(renderer_base $output) {
    global $CFG;
    ...
    foreach ($this->courses as $course) {
        ...
        $exportedcourse = $exporter->export($output);
        ...
        $exportedcourse->unenrollink = $this->generate_unenrol_link($course); // Uses a custom function to generate link
        ...
    }
    ...
}

However, this override is not being picked up =(

Does it have the wrong namespace, is it in the wrong location, or is it not possible to do this?

Any help greatly appreciated!

Cheers
