"WP Job Manager" templates not using blade and wrong path

sage
1

Hi folks,

I am facing a problem with the template overrides within the “WP Job Manager” Plugin and sage 9.
The default location should be in views, but the Plugin gets the template from ressources or a subfolder in it:

This works:

sage/resources/content-resume.php

or
sage/resources/wp-job-manager-resumes/content-resume.php

But should´t it in views folder, like this?
sage/resources/views/content-resume.blade.php
or
sage/resources/views/wp-job-manager-resumes/content-resume.blade.php
or even better
sage/resources/views/partials/content-resume.blade.php

Also it is not possible to use blade, only plain php.

These are the plugin functions to search for templates:

/**
 * Gets and includes template files.
 *
 * @since 1.0.0
 * @param mixed  $template_name
 * @param array  $args (default: array())
 * @param string $template_path (default: '')
 * @param string $default_path (default: '')
 */
function get_job_manager_template( $template_name, $args = array(), $template_path = 'job_manager', $default_path = '' ) {
	if ( $args && is_array( $args ) ) {
		extract( $args );
	}
	include( locate_job_manager_template( $template_name, $template_path, $default_path ) );
}

/**
 * Locates a template and return the path for inclusion.
 *
 * This is the load order:
 *
 *		yourtheme		/	$template_path	/	$template_name
 *		yourtheme		/	$template_name
 *		$default_path	/	$template_name
 *
 * @since 1.0.0
 * @param string      $template_name
 * @param string      $template_path (default: 'job_manager')
 * @param string|bool $default_path (default: '') False to not load a default
 * @return string
 */
function locate_job_manager_template( $template_name, $template_path = 'job_manager', $default_path = '' ) {
	// Look within passed path within the theme - this is priority
	$template = locate_template(
		array(
			trailingslashit( $template_path ) . $template_name,
			$template_name
		)
	);

	// Get default template
	if ( ! $template && $default_path !== false ) {
		$default_path = $default_path ? $default_path : JOB_MANAGER_PLUGIN_DIR . '/templates/';
		if ( file_exists( trailingslashit( $default_path ) . $template_name ) ) {
			$template = trailingslashit( $default_path ) . $template_name;
		}
	}

	// Return what we found
	return apply_filters( 'job_manager_locate_template', $template, $template_name, $template_path );
}

/**
 * Gets template part (for templates in loops).
 *
 * @since 1.0.0
 * @param string      $slug
 * @param string      $name (default: '')
 * @param string      $template_path (default: 'job_manager')
 * @param string|bool $default_path (default: '') False to not load a default
 */
function get_job_manager_template_part( $slug, $name = '', $template_path = 'job_manager', $default_path = '' ) {
	$template = '';

	if ( $name ) {
		$template = locate_job_manager_template( "{$slug}-{$name}.php", $template_path, $default_path );
	}

	// If template file doesn't exist, look in yourtheme/slug.php and yourtheme/job_manager/slug.php
	if ( ! $template ) {
		$template = locate_job_manager_template( "{$slug}.php", $template_path, $default_path );
	}

	if ( $template ) {
		load_template( $template, false );
	}
}

How to handle these templates overrides with sage to use blade engine?

Thank you! :slight_smile:

Template overrides with Blade are challenging. We often need to interrupt the plugin’s process and substitute Sage’s as we’ve done with sage-woocommerce.

I would love to see a Sage package along the same lines which works with Job Manager, but for now you are right: you must follow the plugin’s override methods.
