Custom post template in a plugin erase theme's one - wordpress

i work with sportpress on Wordpress. I have a custom plugin that add a lot of function to it.
I created a template for the custom post-type of sportpress. They are in my plugin but i don't find how to make them prioritary on theme. The theme isn't a custom'one, so i don't want to delete or modify anything in it.
I have tried several things but theme's file is everytime superior.
Things tried :
naming the file 'single-....php',
filter : add_filter( 'template_include', 'toornament_template' ),
shortcode in theme file (works but not what i want...),
Thanks a lot...
EDIT :
here is what i tried exaclty, it works with another type of post that has no theme template, but not for the one that has single-post template in the theme...
add_filter( 'template_include', 'player_template', 1 );
function player_template( $template ) {
if ( is_singular( 'sp_player' ) && file_exists( plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . 'templates/player-tpl.php' ) ){
$template = plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . 'templates/player-tpl.php';
}
return $template;
};

How to build custom plugin to integrate with current theme

I am developing a plugin with a CPT and a CPT template. I would like the template to be able to integrate into any theme it is used with. I thought of calling the 'the_content' hook from my template but I have no idea how to do that as all I can find is calling it from the functions.php file. Please can you tell me how to code this in the CPT template file (like single-CPT.php) or maybe I am heading in the wrong direction so please redirect me. Thank you!
EDIT:
If you only want to add content to the_content function you can do something like that:
add_filter('the_content', "test_the_content");
function test_the_content($content){
if(is_singular('test')){
$content = $content.test_additional_content();
}
return $content;
}
function test_additional_content(){
ob_start(); ?>
<div class="test">
Here what you want to display after the_content
</div>
<?php
return ob_get_clean();
}
ORIGINAL ANSWER
If I understood your question correctly, here is how to define the templates of your custom post type in your plugin. This way it will also be possible to overwrite the plugin template from the theme.
The example below is for a CPT called "test", so you have to adapt the code according to the name of your CPT.
add_filter('template_include', 'my_plugin_templates');
function my_plugin_templates($template) {
$post_types = array('test');
if (is_post_type_archive($post_types) && !file_exists(get_stylesheet_directory() . '/archive-test.php')) {
$template = plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'archive-test.php';
}
if (is_singular($post_types) && !file_exists(get_stylesheet_directory() . '/single-test.php')) {
$template = plugin_dir_path(__FILE__) . 'single-test.php';
}
return $template;
}

Woocommerce change product style and display it on a page

Sorry in advance for my approximative english. I would like to change product page style on woocommerce for a specific product category (don't display pictures and some other important layout changes). Already made it and it works, the problem is that I would like to display these products on a single page. I tried using woocommerce integrated shortcode [product_page id=$id], the problem is that the custom style and layout I created on content-single-product.php (in woocommerce folder) is not applied using this shortcode. I tried to copy my script on class-ws-shortcodes.php (woocommerce folder) but it didn't worked. What should I do to display the products on a specific page, with the real style of these products page (the custom one I created), and not the woocommerce shortcode one?
Thanks in advance for your answers
There are two ways to achieve this, it just depends on whether you want to edit single-product.php or content-single-product.php. Both will get you to the same end result.
To do the former, you can use default WordPress functionality and filter the template under given conditions via template_include
add_filter( 'template_include', 'so_29984159_custom_category_template' );
function so_29984159_custom_category_template( $template ){
if ( is_single() && get_post_type() == 'product' && has_term( 'custom_category', 'product_cat' ) ) {
$template = locate_template( 'single-product-custom.php' );
}
return $template;
}
Or if you'd rather create a custom content-product.php template part, you can use WooCommerce's wc_get_template_part which works in pretty much the same way.
Technically I think you can use the same conditional logic, but I tweaked it here to point out the variables WooCommerce makes available at the filter.
add_filter( 'wc_get_template_part', 'so_29984159_custom_content_template_part', 10, 3 );
function so_29984159_custom_content_template_part( $template, $slug, $name ){
if ( $slug == 'content' && $name == 'product' && has_term( 'custom_category', 'product_cat' ) ) {
$template = locate_template( 'content-product-custom.php' );
}
return $template;
}
In either case the single-product-custom.php or content-product-custom.php would be in your theme's root folder. To put them somewhere else, just change the path in the locate_template() argument.
You can not do coding in wordpress's file i.e. page.php to modify woocommerce pages. Its wrong way. You simply override WooCommerce pages into your theme folder and then modify any pages which you want to do. All templates/pages are located in a woocommerce/templates folder.
Here you can find documentation.

edit woocommerce/templates/content-single-product.php for single product view

Hook taxonomy template to category template

I've created a plugin which registers a custom post type and a custom taxonomy for me.
Now, whenever I visit: www.mysite.com/events_categories/category I should get a list of all the posts under that category. I want to use my own template and not Wordpress' default category template. Also, I want this template to be used for ALL categories, not just one category.
I used this code:
function taxonomy_template() {
global $post;
if( is_tax( 'event_categories' ) ) {
$tax_tpl = dirname( __FILE__ ) . '\taxonomy-event_categories.php';
}
return $tax_tpl;
}
add_filter( 'template_include', 'taxonomy_template' );
And while it works for the taxonomy, it makes everything else on the site go blank. This is because the $tax_tpl is empty if the page I'm on isn't a taxonomy.
I've tried using template_redirect, but no luck either.
So I want to know how to hook my template (taxonomy-event_categories.php) to the Wordpress' category template.
Hope you guys have a solution, because I've looked everywhere and it's possible to find the solution, yet I see many plugins doing this effortlessly.
Okay, so I solved it using this code:
add_action('template_redirect', 'taxonomy_template');
function taxonomy_template( ){
$tax_tpl = dirname( __FILE__ ) . '\taxonomy-event_categories.php';
if( is_tax('event_categories') ) {
include $tax_tpl;
die();
}
}
I've no idea why this works because I think I already tried this specific code, but it didn't work. Let's just hope it will keep working.

TinyMCE hook breaks Wordpress media preview in editor

I am extending WP editor with custom button.
Problem happens when I use this hook:
add_filter( 'mce_css', 'mytheme_icon_picker' );
This is used to enqueue custom scripts and styles.
Even the empty function leads to media player not being displayed/styled in editor.
This leads me to believe that hooking to mce_css, breaks WP enqueueing media-player assets.
Does anyone know what hook to use, to correctly include custom files without breaking default behavior?
The code you're using is a filter. It must return a value.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/mce_css
Your function should append the CSS URL to the existing list of CSS files.
function wpse_icon_picker( $mce_css ) {
if ( ! empty( $mce_css ) ) {
$mce_css .= ',';
}
$mce_css .= 'enter URL to CSS here';
return $mce_css;
}
add_filter( 'mce_css', 'wpse_icon_picker' );

change wordpress site slug

I need to adding something in my child functions.php to change slug from "campaigns" to something else.
Right now it depends on
define( 'EDD_SLUG', apply_filters( 'atcf_edd_slug', 'campaigns' ) );
from a plugin. I can't edit that plugin (should be update often) and I should resolve it in child theme
Inside the function replace NEWSLUG with whatever you want that slug to be.
function wpse_update_slug( $slug ) {
return 'NEWSLUG';
}
add_filter( 'atcf_edd_slug', 'wpse_update_slug' );
