I am trying to override the php file under wp-content/plugins/salient-core/includes/nectar_maps/nectar_cta.php because I need to customize some options in the returning array.
Therefore I tried to place a php file in my child theme under wp-content/themes/salient-child/salient-core/includes/nectar_maps/nectar_cta.php which doesn't work.
Also I figured out that the file is used in wp-content/plugins/salient-core/includes/nectar-addons.php as follows:
class WPBakeryShortCode_Nectar_Cta extends WPBakeryShortCode {}
vc_lean_map('nectar_cta', null, SALIENT_CORE_ROOT_DIR_PATH . 'includes/nectar_maps/nectar_cta.php');
Then I tried to use vc_lean_map with my path in functions.php:
vc_lean_map('nectar_cta', null, 'mypath');
Which also failed.
Is there any way to override this file in my child theme?
Unfortuntately, filepath overriding in the manner you're desicribing works great for child-theming, but there is no analogue for plugins.
However - you're barking up the right tree!
From the vc_lean_map() page in WPBakery1 docs:
vc_lean_map()
Map new shortcodes to WPBakery Page Builder with “lazy” method. It means that attributes for shortcode will be built only when a system uses any data from mapped shortcode or shortcode is rendered in a content of the page(do_shortcode called).
This tells me that you're able to specify a new file to override the plugin file with, and that you're likely just calling it too early in your functions.php file.
Try something like this, to be sure that you're overriding after the visual composer plugin's done loading, so it doesn't overwrite your work. (A lower priority of 100 in the example, to be explicit about the intentions.)
<?php
// funcitons.php
add_action('plugins_loaded', function() {
vc_lean_map('nectar_cta', null, 'yourpath');
}, 100);
1 WPBakery are the folks behind Visual Composer, which somehow ties into this salient theme you're using.

I am doing some work on a site and everything is made in Divi.
I just want to build out a few custom woocommerce templates for product page etc.. using code but when I add the templates to the theme folder it doesn't override the product page.
When I look in debug query it shows the et page builder template is being used instead of regular product template.
Their docs are all geared up for non-coders and only code related stuff is on making modules.
How do I just make a normal template override from a child theme?
You just have to make sure your path to the template files is correct. For instance, if you're trying to overwrite the single-product template, which is located at:
wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/single-product.php
just copy it to:
wp-content/themes/{your-child-theme}/woocommerce/single-product.php
and make your changes there.
For any template files, just match the path minus the templates folder.
If you have any caching plugins installed, you may need to clear your cache before the changes show up.
To test it, I copied single-product.php and product-image.php and made the following changes.
And you can see the result here:
If that doesn't work for you, make sure your child theme is set up correctly.
Edit: Divi's Theme Builder, once activated, causes the site to no longer use page templates. So there is no way (short of rewriting the Theme Builder) to override it with your own template files.
However, you can customize the Divi modules that are used by the Theme Builder, although editing them is a bit more complicated.
The modules are found in:
wp-content/themes/Divi/includes/builder/module/
For example, I'll override the WooCommerce Title module.
wp-content/themes/Divi/includes/builder/module/woocommerce/Title.php
First, copy that file into your child theme and place it in a new folder:
wp-content/themes/Divi-child/custom-modules/Title.php
Next, add the following code your child theme's functions.php to replace the existing module:
function divi_child_theme_setup() {
if ( class_exists('ET_Builder_Module')) {
get_template_part( 'custom-modules/custom-title' );
$TE_ct = new Custom_ET_Builder_Module_Woocommerce_Title();
remove_shortcode( 'et_pb_wc_title' );
add_shortcode( 'et_pb_wc_title', array($TE_ct, '_shortcode_callback') );
}
}
add_action('wp', 'divi_child_theme_setup', 9999);
Call your variable ($TE_ct) and the module (Custom_ET_Builder_Module_Woocommerce_Title) whatever you want.
Finally, edit the module in your child theme. Make sure the class name matches what you used in functions.php.
...
class Custom_ET_Builder_Module_Woocommerce_Title extends ET_Builder_Module {
/**
* Initialize.
*/
public function init() {
echo "<h1>CUSTOMIZED!!</h1>";
$this->name = esc_html__( 'Woo Title', 'et_builder' );
$this->plural = esc_html__( 'Woo Titles', 'et_builder' );
$this->slug = 'et_pb_wc_title';
$this->vb_support = 'on';
...
Here, I've added a simple echo to show that the module is being overridden.
Result:
I'm just starting out with drupal and need some custom html for an intricate menu system. My plan is to override the html-generating functions in template.php.
My theme name is "Drupal subtheme" and the navbar I would like to target has the machine name "menu-usm-navbar-small". What should I name the functions that overrides the default html-printouts?
I think I have tried every possible combination of these. Some examples of what I've tried:
function drupal_subtheme_menu_link($variables) {
return "foo";
}
function drupal_subtheme__menu_usm_navbar_small($variables) {
return "foo";
}
If you want to place custom HTML inside, why do you need to do it trough Drupal's functions?
Let's say, that you want to insert your code into page.tpl.php (most likely) - just open that file, edit it, add your code there.
Since you are overriding some theme - copy that file from original theme, and then edit it (don't forget to clear the cache).
I am suggesting a template file in the hook_preprocess_page() implementation done from a module, but the suggested template file doesn't seem to be used.
The template file is page--terminal-template.tpl.php, which is in the directory containing the module, and this is the implementation of hook_preprocess_page().
function terminal_preprocess_page(&$variables) {
if (arg(0) == "terminal") {
$variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = "page__terminal_template";
}
}
Could anyone please help me?
Preprocess and process functions can be implemented by modules. In fact, the documentation for theme() lists them when it shows in which order those functions are called.
The fact is that Drupal looks for the suggested template files in the theme directory. You have these alternatives:
Put the template files your module is suggesting in the directory containing the theme currently used
Follow what reported in Load view template on module activation to load the template files from the module directory
Suggest the template files you want to use in a preprocess function implemented by a theme
Following what reported in the other question, you would be able to use the template file found in the module directory. The only problem is that you would be using a generic template that could be different from the default page template used from the currently enabled theme.
If you are adding template files for the currently enabled theme, you should call drupal_theme_rebuild() to make Drupal rescan the directory containing the template files, after you added the new template file to the theme.
Actually, this hook can also be called from theme's template.php file along with module's hook.
Please refer Drupal 7 documentation here.
Say if your active theme is MY_THEME, then the code should be:
function MY_THEME_preprocess_page(&$variables) {
if (arg(0) == "terminal") {
$variables['theme_hook_suggestions'][] = "page__terminal_template";
}
}
And the template suggestions will work.
Edit: This functionality can also be implemented with Modules using hooks.
A WordPress theme I am developing has an integrated custom post type called "albums" which utilizes a few custom templates (archive-albums.php, content-albums.php, etc.). What I want to do is transfer this functionality, along with the template files, into a plugin for the sake of portability.
I transferred the CPT code from the functions.php with success, but when I try to move the template files from the theme folder to the plugin folder, things fall apart. I feel like it should be simple to somehow register the templates so WordPress knows to load them.
Can my WordPress custom templates be in plugin folder or only theme folder?
Things are falling apart because when you move those files, you're violating WP's native template hierarchy. You'll need to explicitly declare the location of those files. Using the archive as an example, you could add something like this to functions.php (to tell WP to look elsewhere):
add_filter('template_include', 'include_album_template', 1);
function include_album_template($template_path) {
if(get_post_type() == 'albums') {
if(!is_single()) {
$theme_file = 'path-to-your-plugin-directory';
$template_path = $theme_file;
}
}
return $template_path;
}
Obviously you'd use your own path, and I wrote this hastily so you might want to refactor.
I have the same issue. I'm already using add_filter ('template_include', ...) problem is that I need to specify a file to return, and in this case being it,index.php. This raises an issue with the theme not running entirely as if installed via themes folder, because what I need is to have WP selecting the appropriate file to render without any conditional logic from my part. So if it is a post it will select the single.php and so on. Another problem raised with this method is that in header.php the call get_header (); ignores the local file header.php and loads the default theme installed file instead.
this is a question how to override themable items in Drupal 6.
According to the book "Pro Drupal Development", we can override themable items in two ways:
overriding via Theme functions
overriding via Template files
So for example, in order to reformat the breadcrumb, I can:
via function theme_breadcrumb($breadcrumb)
via breadcrumb.tpl.php
But on my local testing server, the second approach (i.e. via template file) is not working! I see no breadcrumbs at all, while the first approach works fine.
Any idea how could this happen? any special settings I need to configure my Drupal?
thanks!
My custom theme "greyscale":
sites\all\themes\custom\greyscale:
- breadcrumb.tpl.php
- greyscale.info
- node.tpl.php
- page.tpl.php
- style.css
- template.php
relevant file contents:
* template.php:
function phptemplate_preprocess_breadcrumb(&$variables) {
$variables['breadcrumb_delimiter'] = '#';
}
breadcrumb.tpl.php:
Theme functions are setup to either use a template or a function to generate the markup, it will never use both as that's pointless.
For a theme function to use a template, it must be defined when you define it in hook_theme.
A template + preprocess function and a theme function really does the same thing: produce markup. It depends on the situation which method is best to use, that's why we have two. The good thing about templates, is that it allows themers to change the markup, without know much about PHP or Drupal.
Cache
Drupal caches all templates and theme functions defined in your theme, when you create new ones, you need to clear the cache, this can be done by:
Use drush
Clearing cache in admin/settings/performance
Use devel to clear it on each page load. Usable during development, biut will kill performance.
Switching theme back and forth will work too, but it really not the desired way to do it.
I personally always find it easier to alter breadcrumbs through template.php using hook_breadcrumb()
function mytheme_breadcrumb($breadcrumb) {
$sep = ' > ';
if (count($breadcrumb) > 0) {
return implode($breadcrumb, $sep) . $sep;
}
else {
return t("Home");
}
}
Any particular reason why you wish to use a .tpl.php file?
