Template file in other folder than /site/template

[---]

I have a hook to change the template file on a certain page. This is not working at the moment for some reason.

The usual location to place templates is under /site/template. Because the template should only be available in my module, I want my template file to be in /site/modules/mymodule/view/mytemplate.php

When I place my file in the usual template location, it works fine. But when I place the file in my module folder, it doesn't work. When I var_dump the $page->template->filename variable, the location of the template file is correct and maps to my module folder. So everything seems to be correct, but somehow it's not working but I can't figure out the problem.

 

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Is it possible to store a template inside of the module directory? 

Tried templates filename and altFilename without success...

Why would you want this? What are you trying to accomplish?

Apparently it's possible:

Hi @dragen, 

I write a module which creates a hidden page and template. The template file needed for the hidden page to display should be stored in site/modules/MyModule/templates/MyTemplate.php instead of the site/templates path.

you can either use the template class or just wireRenderFile() which uses template class – see dashboard module for an example...
