Custom Template Path not Working

[nathanaelphilip]

Hi hi! Back again :)

add_filter('bladerunner/template/bladepath', function ($paths) {
    if (!is_array($paths)) {
      $paths = [$paths];
    }

    $paths[] = get_template_directory() . '/app';

    return $paths;
  });

I have a views folder inside app, so it’s THEME/app/views and inside that, i have index.blade.php

i can’t get bladerunner to recognize this template :/. It does work if I just put the views folder directly inside the THEME folder.

Thanks!

add_filter('bladerunner/template/bladepath', function($paths) {
    if(!is_array($paths)) $paths = [$paths];
    $paths[] = get_template_directory() . "/app/views";
    return $paths;
});

this is the error i get:

Can you provide me with the theme code?

strt.zip

[ekandreas]

And if you put this in index.php?

<?php
    echo view('app.views.index');

I will take a look more close soon and respond to you.

i put the above code in the index.php and i’m still getting a fatal error

You can go two ways with quirky folders in this case:

1. Put echo view('app.views.index'); or
2. Place a template override in the controller to the right template, eg:

   
   <?php
   // file: app/controllers/index.php with controllers path set

use Bladerunner\Controller;

class IndexController extends Controller { protected $template = 'app.views.index';

public function hello()
{
    return 'hello world';
}

}

So you have to choose if you would like to use controllers or only views.
I think that you have a conflict now with both techniques at the same time :-)

should i remove this:

add_filter('bladerunner/template/bladepath', function($paths) {
    if(!is_array($paths)) $paths = [$paths];
    $paths[] = get_template_directory() . "/app/views";
    return $paths;
});

?

It depends! the template/bladepath is made for plugin dev. Go for the controller and set the template path in each controller instead! So much cleaner and easy to understand!

[nathanaelphilip]

oh ok – i didn’t know that! Thanks for your help!

[ekandreas]

Hope you are getting forward and get use of the plugin. Blade is a great templating language.

[nathanaelphilip]

yeah! i was going to just use the default structure if needed, but this works for me. it’ll make things a bit more explicit!
