commit da4efc6accef590307190852b7b531b8b8a8d5dc Author: Aaron Wells <[email protected]> Date: Fri Jun 13 14:11:56 2014 +1200 Incorrect Dwoo template paths Bug 1231755. The refactor of the Dwoo_Template_Mahara class also closed a bug in the include path, which made it so that, in the template files of plugins, if you had an {include} tag which tried to include a core Mahara template file, it would also have the plugin's own theme directory on the search path. It turns out the blocktype/activitystream and search/elasticsearch plugins had code which depended on this bug. They referred to plugin template files as if they were core template files, and relied on the bug to locate them appropriately.

So, this is handy for plugin authors, but not for custom theme developers. I propose the following: 1. We allow for /local overrides of plugin templates. The path should be local/theme/templates/{plugintype}/{pluginname}/{template} . Or in the case of plugins that live underneath other plugins (i.e. blocktypes under artefacts) local/theme/templates/{plugintype1}/{pluginname1}/{plugintype2}/{pluginname2}/{template}. So: local/theme/templates/artefact/internal/content.tpl local/theme/templates/artefact/internal/blocktype/textbox/content.tpl 2. For custom themes, we take a similar approach: theme/{themename}/static/templates/{plugintype}/{pluginname}/{template} theme/aaronstheme/static/templates/artefact/internal/content.tpl theme/aaronstheme/static/templates/artefact/internal/blocktype/textbox/content.tpl And in order of precedence: 1. /local theme overrides 2. custom theme located under /theme directory 3. theme template files locate under plugin's directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1231755/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mahara-contributors More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
