Template Sub Folders

    Hi, and thanks for a great plugin.

    I only started with Gravity forms and Gravity PDF today, still finding my feat.

    I intend to organise my custom template files in a subfolder within the templates directory.

    How do I specify the path to the subfolder and php file, for the templates attribute?

    I’ve tried:
    'template' => './sub_folder_name/registration-form1-template.php',
    And:
    'template' => PDF_TEMPLATE_LOCATION . 'sub_folder_name/registration-form1-template.php',

    Thanks for any help, Ian.

    Hi Ian,

    You can’t. PDF templates need to be in the root of the PDF_EXTENDED_TEMPLATES directory for non-multisite installations.

    You can create a template in this location and then include templates from your sub folders using PHP’s include or require statements but you can’t do it through the PDF configuration.

    I was beginning to think it wasn’t possible, thanks for the help. Maybe a future feature?

    Does the method described in effect allow me to create a main template file and then include sub templates, as in a modular approach? If so, i like the idea. ??

    It’s quite fixed on that structure (being in the root of the PDF_EXTENDED_TEMPLATES directory) so I don’t think it’ll make it’s way into the plugin. We do have a filter to change the location of the PDF_EXTENDED_TEMPLATES directory but that’s not really the same thing.

    Yes. We use that method all the time to add conditionals to the main template file and keep all the actual template content (HTML ect) inside sub directories. It keeps things cleaner and, as you’ve said, more modular.

    Sounds great I’ll look into it,

    Thanks again,

    Ian
