I’ve look all previous questions, and I know that my question is not duplicated.
Please consider the below context:
I have a layout:
frontend\[base]\default\layout\customer.xml
This supports the handles (actions):
- customer_account_index
- customer_address_index
- customer_address_view
- customer_account_login
- customer_account_logoutsuccess
- customer_account_create
- customer_account_forgotpassword
- customer_account_confirmation
- customer_account_edit
If I want to add one more handle:
frontend\[default]\default\layout\customer.xml
- customer_account_active
How can I just add more handle like below:
<layout version="0.1.0">
<customer_account_active>
...
</customer_account_active>
</layout>
My problem is when I add customer.xml file in the [default] layout. It will rise the error. I guess that because of the file which is extended is incorrectly.
Any ideas for me?
Update:
frontend\[base]\default\layout\customer.xml is:
<layout version="0.1.0">

Your issue is that you are removing other handlers for your customer.xml while overwriting the file in [default]\default context. If you are overwriting the file in different theme folder you have to remember that this file will be used and not the others.
If you want a file only with this handler then add this to local.xml layout file instead (create it if it does not exist)
