hi,

i tried editing the phtml files (dashboard.phtml) under

template > customer > account

but the account dashboard stays the same. what am i missing?

thanks

Which theme were you editing? There are numerous installed by default, and the one which is displayed is set in System>Config>Design. If you're editing app/design/frontend/base/default/template, then make sure you don't have any entry in the Design.

Also, make sure you disable the cache in System>Cache Management while doing your development, but turn it on in production!

i'm editing a custom (commercial) theme. would the DEFAULT theme override the custom layout files?

if i edit the dashboard.phtml under DEFAULT, will it override the dashboard.phtml under MYTHEME?

If the commercial theme has a template in `template/customer/account/`, then that will override the `base/default/template/customer/account`
