I'd like to add an additional layout to one of the core components.
Is there a way to do this in a template without adding any files to the Joomla core installation?
A:
In the template directory you can add a file called components/$name.html.php, where $name is the name of the component without the com_ prefix. Then it should pick up this file instead of the one supplied with core joomla.

That's the view AFAIK, not the layout.

What do you mean by layout of the component then? CSS?

@harald: Layouts are means to display a view. They are mentioned here: http://docs.joomla.org/Understanding_Output_Overrides#Layouts

@georg: Ah my misunderstanding, sorry. Then I have no idea, but I guess it should be possible to deduce if this works from the code that loads the layout of the components.
