Multiple default template

Hello
I am developing an extension for Contao 3.2.7
I wish I had more predefined templates in the extension folder.

In the file tl_module.php have the code $ this-> getTemplateGroup ('my_prefix');
Can I bring back all the files that I have inserted in the template folder extension?

Thanks

Why would you want to do that?

I would like to provide you with the extension of more than one default template.

I don't get it really.

Code:

---

\Controller::getTemplateGroup()

---

returns a group of templates with a certain prefix.
By convention front end modules all start with "mod_", form templates with "form_", back end templates with "be_" etc.

The method combines the templates from all the extensions with those you specified in your "TL_ROOT/templates" folder.
So if you have a front end module named "my_module" you probably want to name your templates "mod_my_module_default" and "mod_my_module_special" and call

Code:

---

\Controller::getTemplateGroup('mod_my_module')

---

in your module settings so one can see all the templates that are related to your module. If I add a "mod_my_module_extraspecial" template to my "TL_ROOT/templates" folder, I will automatically get that one as a choice in the drop down.

Thanks for the reply.

I wanted to insert more than one template in the extension folder.

I will follow your advice

I found the solution for my needs.

In the file config\autoload.php I recorded all the templates that I want to add

Code:

---

/**
 * Register the templates
 */
TemplateLoader::addFiles(array
(
        'mod_my_template' => 'system/modules/dev_module/templates/module',
        'mod_my_template_special' => 'system/modules/dev_module/templates/module',
        'mod_my_template_special_second' => 'system/modules/dev_module/templates/module',
       
));
