Any way to add a template without overriding?

KanboardEmailHistory/Plugin.php

Line 17 in 009d1ff

if (!file_exists('plugins/AutoSubtasks')) {

@creecros I use this plugin, so I guess it's overriding the standard templates... but can I not use another copy of the file just for this plugin? I can't figure out how to do it without an override, as the template is already overriden by Autosubtasks, and my version is specific to this plugin as it has a placeholder which other plugins may not need.

public function initialize()
	{
		$this->actionManager->register(new EmailTaskHistory($this->container));
		
		if (!file_exists('plugins/AutoSubtasks')) {
		    $this->template->setTemplateOverride('action_creation/params', 'kanboardEmailHistory:action_creation/params');
		}
    		
	}

I gave you your 2 options, there are no more.

you have 2 plugins, overriding the same template. nothing you do in this plugin, will stop the other plugin from doing what it does.

I understand, I'm just trying to find a way to work it out.

About the core, what if I override the step 2?

autosubtasks overrides the params.php but what if i override step 2, which is action_creation/event.php ? then in that override, we say, if this plugin then process and go to MY params file, otherwise leave it as it is.... this will then be picked up by autosubtasks and overridden.

<div class="page-header">
    <h2><?= t('Choose an event') ?></h2>
</div>

// SO IF WE DO AN `IF` STATEMENT HERE WITH MAYBE A CUSTOM CONTROLLER...
IF ...EXISTS PLUGIN/KANBOARDEMAILHOSTORY
     then duse my controller to send my version of the params file, otherwise....
ELSE... BELOW IS DEFAULT CODE

<form method="post" action="<?= $this->url->href('ActionCreationController', 'params', array('project_id' => $project['id'])) ?>">
    <?= $this->form->csrf() ?>

    <?= $this->form->hidden('action_name', $values) ?>

    <?= $this->form->label(t('Action'), 'action_name') ?>
    <?= $this->form->select('action_name', $available_actions, $values, array(), array('disabled')) ?>

    <?= $this->form->label(t('Event'), 'event_name') ?>
    <?= $this->form->select('event_name', $events, $values) ?>

    <div class="form-help">
        <?= t('When the selected event occurs execute the corresponding action.') ?>
    </div>

    <?= $this->modal->submitButtons(array(
        'submitLabel' => t('Next step')
    )) ?>
</form>

hope youre not angry with me

it's good thinking, to be honest. a bit extra work, but definitely possible.
