Overwriting templates

Hi,

I'm not sure if we're getting the way we have to overwrite templates correctly, would be nice if someone could shed some light on this

We are listing the templates we are overwriting in the shop config "client, html, <component>" array structure, but it seems to be a bit unclear on how we have to build up the array to overwrite the correct template.

For instance right now we are trying to overwrite the template:

ai-client-html/client/html/templates/catalog/filter/tree-standard.php

Which is the filter category list. How do we need to build up the array structure?
We have tried things like:

Code: Select all

   'client' => [
        'html' => [
                'filter'  => [
                    'tree'   => [
                        'standard' => [
                            'template-body' => resource_path('views/catalog/filter/tree-body-standard.php'),
                        ],
                        'partials' =>
                        [
                            'tree' => [
                                'template-body' => resource_path('views/catalog/filter/tree-standard.blade.php')
                            ]
                        ]
                    ],
                ]
             ]

But to no success, or a serious amount of hit and miss

Can someone ellaborate a little on how the structure is supposed to be set up? We have successfully overwritten other templates with trial and error but with partials it seems to be a bit unclear naming wise.

Youve' missed the "catalog" part, it's 'client/html/catalog/filter/tree/standard/template-body' and 'client/html/catalog/filter/partials/tree':
- https://github.com/aimeos/ai-client-htm ... rd.php#L98
- https://github.com/aimeos/ai-client-htm ... rd.php#L80

But you don't have to overwrite the configuration. If you copy the template you want to overwrite from:

./ext/ai-client-html/client/html/templates/catalog/filter/tree-body-standard.php
to
./ext/<yourext>/client/html/templates/catalog/filter/tree-body-standard.php

it will be found automatically and used instead of the original one

Hi, thanks for the info but I apparently missed Catalog in the copy paste, it is there in our code

We tried adding our own ext but it still didn't seem to want to overwrite the templates, that's why we went with the configuration method instead.

Edit: We did try to use blade templates, not sure if that changes anything?

For Blade templates, you need the configuration and the extension of the Blade templates must be ".blade.php" instead of only ".php"

Yes, have the .blade.php but it still refuses to overwrite the partial.
We have it working without blade, but if we try to change it to a blade it doesn't take it.

Edit: Seems there's some special magic going on as it seems to work for my colleague and on production environment but not on my machine

This seems like a different issue entirely, my templates seem hard stuck in cache, eventhough I cleared it all through aimeos:cache etc. I don't see my colleague's adjustments that are there in files on my localhost in the rendered page.

Update: This command saved the day

php artisan optimize:clear

Seems everything was stuck in cache.
