[Question] How does one add extra dev tool links in 5.4.1 #66

Closed mooror closed 1 year ago

mooror commented 1 year ago

I noticed that in the latest release (v6) that the template paths/namespaces were updated. But I am still using Silverstripe 4 and so I'm stuck with version 5.4.1 and cannot seem to figure out how to add extra links to the developer tools section

I have tried templates/JonoM/BetterNavigator/Includes/BetterNavigatorExtraDevTools.ss, templates/BetterNavigator/Includes/ BetterNavigatorExtraDevTools.ss and templates/BetterNavigator/BetterNavigator/Includes/ BetterNavigatorExtraDevTools.ss without any effect (and I made sure to flush after updating the template).

Am I using the wrong paths? Or does this have something to do with me trying to overwrite the template from my own module rather then the theme template folder?

Hmmmm... So when I added the template to the templates/BetterNavigator/Includes/BetterNavigatorExtraDevTools.ss in my themes folder, it works fine, but not from within my module templates folder :thinking:

I think I will need to alter the module priority to load my module before this one for the templates to apply properly

For anyone who has this same issue, you just need to boost the priority of your module using the following YAML in a config file (Make sure to replace "vendor/your-module" with your modules vendor and name)

---
Name: modulepriority
Before:
  - 'jonom/silverstripe-betternavigator'
Only:
  moduleexists:
    - 'jonom/silverstripe-betternavigator'
---

SilverStripe\Core\Manifest\ModuleManifest:
  module_priority:
    - "vendor/your-module"

My suggestion would have been: Integrate the new full path in the Template structure: templates/JonoM/BetterNavigator/Includes/BetterNavigatorExtraDevTools.ss
