prependTemplateFile

[joey102030]

Just a quick one.

Is it possible to move my prependTemplateFile to a subdirectory with templates?

setting $config->prependTemplateFile = 'includes/_init.php' doesn't work for me

Try

$config->prependTemplateFile = $config->paths->templates .'/includes/_init.php';

// prependFile: Filename to prepend to output, must be in /site/templates/. (default=$config->prependTemplateFile)

PageRender.module #302

$output->setPrependFilename($config->paths->templates . wire('sanitizer')->name($options['prependFile']));

It runs the value through $sanitizer->name which doesn't allow "/". So no it's not possible.

Thanks Soma, I suspected as much

Sadly I think it would be a great little "feature" so I/we can keep our file more organized.

It is ONLY one file, but still. I'm an organized fellow, lmao.

This still seems to be the case in 2019... the files set in $config->prependTemplateFile and $config->appendTemplateFile must be in /site/templates/:

If there's a way around this, I'd really like to know.

Note: Regular template file locations can effectively be anywhere with the hook mentioned in this GitHub issue:

Don't know if that restriction makes sense at all. Could you just include('../yourfile.php'); in the prependTemplateFile?
