Reviving this for a slightly different use case. I need to serve a different templates folder based on a certain URL segment. My code goes in site/config.php. In there $input is not available yet. So the logic uses $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] /** * Switch ProcessWire templates directory based on the second URL segment. * Type the second URL segment as key and the name of the new templates folder as value. * Example: '/imaging/' maps to 'templates-magazine' folder. * We use the second segment because the first segment is always the language (en, de, etc.) */ $config->templateSegments = array( 'imaging' => 'templates-magazine', // first url segment => templates folder name // Add other segment => folder mappings here ); // Check the second URL segment directly from REQUEST_URI $requestUri = isset($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) ? $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] : '/'; $path = parse_url($requestUri, PHP_URL_PATH); $segments = explode('/', trim($path ?: '', '/')); $firstSegment = $segments[1] ?? null; if ($firstSegment && isset($config->templateSegments[$firstSegment])) { $folder = $config->templateSegments[$firstSegment]; $config->urls->templates = "/site/" . $folder . "/"; $config->paths->templates = $config->paths->site . $folder . "/"; } Works well. in site/init.php I have a ProcessPageView::execute hook so that PW can find the template file and offer the "View" link in the page edit screen in admin. $wire->addHookBefore("ProcessPageView::execute", function (HookEvent $event) { // set templates dir for magazine pages in admin /** @var Pages $pages */ $pages = wire()->pages; /** @var PagesRequest $request */ $request = $pages->request(); /** @var Page $page */ $page = $request->getPage(); $editPage = $pages->get(input()->get('id')); if($page->template == 'admin' && $editPage->template == 'magazine-page') { /** @var Config $config */ $config = wire()->config; $folder = 'templates-magazine'; $config->urls->templates = "/site/" . $folder . "/"; $config->paths->templates = $config->paths->site . $folder . "/"; } }); Not the most elegant implementation, but works. Could have put this in site/templates/admin.php but decided against for separation of concerns reasons.
