    Hi there,

    What is best practice to load the corresponding template for each flexible layout?

    I don’t wan’t to place the path to the template in the plugin settings. I would like to place those via the theme or plugin.

    In your documentation is explained that you can use the filter ‘filter(‘acfe/flexible/render/template’. But if you have like 20 or more layouts, you would need to create 20 separate functions where each function is pointing to the location of one template. That sounds a bit overkill.

    Is there a way to load every corresponding layout template from within one file?

    For example i use the filter ‘acfe/flexible/enqueue/name=sections’ to enqueue one stylesheet for all layouts in admin.

    Hello,

    Thanks for the feedback, and sorry for the late answer, I’m kinda busy with the upcoming patch lately.

    As you pointed out, you have to use the acfe/flexible/render/template in order to define your own custom layouts files path.

    As described in the documentation, this hook has a lot of variations, including wildcard variations which will be applied to layouts within a specific flexible content field. So you don’t have to create 20 different functions.

    Here is a usage example:

    // note that 'name=my_flexible_content'
// this hook will be executed on all layouts of the Flexible Content named 'my_flexible_content'
add_filter('acfe/flexible/render/template/name=my_flexible_content', 'my_flexible_content_render_file', 10, 4);
function my_flexible_content_render_file($file, $field, $layout, $is_preview){
    
    // check the layout name
    if($layout['name'] === 'my_layout'){
        $file = 'my-layout.php';
        
    // check another layout name
    }elseif($layout['name'] === 'my_other_layout'){
        $file = 'my-other-layout.php';
    }
    
    // return
    return $file;
    
}

    Hope it helps!

    Have a nice day!

    Regards.
