Plugin Overrides

[alexg]

Hi,

Any reason I cannot override the views of the wallet in /my-child-theme/wallets/include/views. ?

Thanks 🙂

Hello,

Did you follow the instructions in the documentation about overriding the views directory?

Instructions are given under “Frontend” -> “Frontend UI WordPress Filters” -> “Alternative knockout templates”.

Essentially you need to use the wallets_views_dir filter to point to your new views directory.

kind regards

I just saw it : function my_wallets_views_dir_override( $dir ) {
return ‘/path/to/the/directory/where/the/new/templates/are/copied’;
}
add_filter( ‘wallets_views_dir’, ‘my_wallets_views_dir_override’ );

My apologies ..

[alexg]

So, like this:

function my_wallets_views_dir_override( $dir ) {
return get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/wallets/include/views/’;
}
add_filter( ‘wallets_views_dir’, ‘my_wallets_views_dir_override’ );

But you say:

wp-content/plugins/wallets/includes/views/balance.php
wp-content/plugins/wallets/includes/views/move.php
wp-content/plugins/wallets/includes/views/deposit.php
wp-content/plugins/wallets/includes/views/withdraw.php
wp-content/plugins/wallets/includes/views/transactions.php

Should this not be:

wp-content/plugins/wallets/includes/views/balance/default.php
wp-content/plugins/wallets/includes/views/move/default.php
wp-content/plugins/wallets/includes/views/deposit/default.php
wp-content/plugins/wallets/includes/views/withdraw/default.php
wp-content/plugins/wallets/includes/views/transactions/default.php

What about account value ?

wp-content/plugins/wallets/includes/views/account_value/default.php

Yes thank you. I must update the documentation.

These paths were from before each view got its own directory.

Views now have their own directory so that they can have alternative templates.

The correct paths are the longer ones.

[alexg]

But then what about the function:

function my_wallets_views_dir_override( $dir ) {
return get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/wallets/include/views/’;
}
add_filter( ‘wallets_views_dir’, ‘my_wallets_views_dir_override’ );

?

[alexg]

public function shortcode( $atts, $content = ”, $tag ) {
$view = preg_replace( ‘/^wallets_/’, ”, $tag );

$atts = shortcode_atts(
array(
‘template’ => ‘default’,
‘views_dir’ => apply_filters( ‘wallets_views_dir’, __DIR__ . ‘/views’ ),
), $atts, “wallets_$view”
);

[alexg]

I believe you were looking at an old version of the documentation. In the latest version 3.5.6 the paths are already up-to-date.

– wp-content/plugins/wallets/includes/views/balance/default.php
– wp-content/plugins/wallets/includes/views/move/default.php
– wp-content/plugins/wallets/includes/views/deposit/default.php
– wp-content/plugins/wallets/includes/views/withdraw/default.php
– wp-content/plugins/wallets/includes/views/transactions/default.php
– wp-content/plugins/wallets/includes/views/account_value/default.php

What is your question about the functions you posted?

[alexg]

Nope:

function my_wallets_views_dir_override( $dir ) {
return get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/wallets/include/views/’;
}
add_filter( ‘wallets_views_dir’, ‘my_wallets_views_dir_override’ );

I place list.php inside /wallets/includes/views/balance/ (in my child theme folder)

does not work ..

Here’s some things that might help:

1. Make sure you have the WordPress debug log enabled so you know what files the system looks for in case it cannot find them. You might need to debug the path.

2. You can avoid hooking to the filter altogether, if you use the views_dir argument in your shortcode. This is implemented in 3.2.0 and is discussed in the documentation. It might allow you to do more tests quicker and easier.

3. It could be some issue with the file permissions. Make sure that your files are readable by your webserver and that their directories are scannable (execute permission).

4. You can, but you do not need the directory structure wallets/includes/views. Just call your directory anything, such as wallet_views.

Thanks Alex, will do and let you know. You have an account inside the system, when I’m done you should have a look 🙂
