Does anyone know how to override adminhtml dashboard graph block ? I tried with this code and doesn’t work. However, this code works perfectly with other dashboard blocks. I don’t understand why doesn’t work with only graph. Mycompany_Mymodule_Block_Graph

Exactly, but it is potentially a very large difference.

This approach doesn’t solve conflict problems between modules.

Using this method two modules can overwrite same class, so you get same problem on another level.

The difference is how often conflicts happen.

Very nice. I like this fetchView method better since the config.xml method can only be used by one module! If you install two modules that use that method they will conflict, so bravo for finding a friendlier solution, although I would still put my template files in the adminhtml/default/default/template// folder.

What about this lines in your config.xml: default yout_theme_name Then you simple do the same as with front end themes.
