Subfolder for template-files

[Martin Schuff]

Hi Stephen,
is there a way to put the event-organiser template files in a subfolder? At the moment, they are making a bit of a mess in my theme-folder. It would be great to put them in a subfolder called ‘event-organiser’.

Thanks for your help!
Best regards
Martin

Yes you can register additional template locations:

function mytheme_register_subfolder_for_stack( $stack ){

    $template_dir = get_stylesheet_directory(); //child theme
    $parent_template_dir = get_template_directory(); //parent theme 

    //prepend /event-organiser subdirectory of child & parent theme
    //The locations get checked in order.
    array_unshift( 
        $stack, 
        $template_dir . "/event-organiser", 
        $parent_template_dir . "/event-organiser" 
   );

    return $stack;
}
add_filter( 'eventorganiser_template_stack', 'mytheme_register_subfolder_for_stack' );

The above puts the /event-organiser subdirectory of the child and parent theme (even if there is no child theme you can keep that there) at the beginning of the template stack – so the plug-in will look for the template file there first.

You can also remove locations in the unlikely event that there are naming conflicts.

Thanks Stephen! It works fine! Only single-event.php has to stay in the root of the theme. But I guess that’s wordpress specific.

That’s true, the single-event.php is handled differently because if it’s not present in the theme it reverts to single.php.
