[QUESTION] Changing extension of templates?

[mithat]

The *.html extension used by template pages is making my IDE throw a hissy fit. It's not recognizing these are Twig pages. Is there a way to change Phile's expected or allowed template page extension from *.html?

There isn't a "proper" way to change the template extension. But you could edit the Twig plug class.

Maybe we should add an option in the config for changing the extension to look for.

@james2doyle Thanks. I've adopted a no-core-hack workaround by creating symbolic links to template files using non-problematic file extensions. A config option would be great.

Nice. We have a global constant for the markdown extension. So one for templates makes sense On Fri, Apr 10, 2015 at 5:36 PM Mithat Konar notifications@github.com wrote:

This bothered me too. But it's easy to change in the upcoming 1.5. Create a new plugin:

// subclass Twig and set $tplExt
use Phile\Plugin\Phile\TemplateTwig\Template\Twig as PhileTwig;

class Twig extends PhileTwig {
    protected $tplExt = 'twig';
}

…

// set the class as template service in plugin
class Plugin extends AbstractPlugin {
    protected $events = ['plugins_loaded' => 'onPluginsLoaded'];
    public function onPluginsLoaded($data = null) {
        ServiceLocator::registerService('Phile_Template',   new Twig($this->settings));
    }
}

easy to change

I contemplated about that phrase … and a plugin option is probably a better solution. ;)

Solution: As of Phile 1.5.0 use

$config['plugins']['phile\\templateTwig']['template-extension']  = 'twig';

to set the template extension.
