How to Override single team Template

Filter Hook: team_manager_template_{$template}

Overview

The team_manager_template_{$template} filter allows you to modify the template file used to display Team Manager plugin content. This makes it easy to override the default templates without modifying the plugin’s core files.

How It Works

By default, the plugin looks for the appropriate template file in the following order:

1. Theme Template: If a matching template exists inside your active theme’s /team_template/ directory, it will be used.

2. Plugin Default Template: If no theme template is found, the plugin will use its built-in template from /public/templates/.

3. Fallback Template: If no template is found, it defaults to:

TM_PATH . '/public/templates/single-team_manager.php';

To customize this behavior, you can use the team_manager_template_{$template} filter.

Example: Override the Single Team Member Template

If you want to replace the default single team member page with a custom one from your theme, follow these steps:

1. Create a Custom Template:

Inside your theme, create a new directory:

/wp-content/themes/your-theme/custom-templates/

Then, create a new template file:

single-team_manager.php

2. Modify the Filter in Your Theme’s functions.php File:

Add the following code:

function custom_team_manager_template($template_path) {
    // Define a new custom template path
    $custom_template = get_stylesheet_directory() . '/custom-templates/single-team_manager.php';

    // If the custom template exists, use it instead of the default
    return file_exists($custom_template) ? $custom_template : $template_path;
}

// Hook into the specific template filter
add_filter('team_manager_template_single-team_manager.php', 'custom_team_manager_template');

Use Cases

• Customize the layout of team member pages without modifying plugin files.

• Use different templates for specific team members based on conditions (e.g., user role, post meta).

• Ensure compatibility with future plugin updates by keeping changes inside the theme.
