Dear all, Let’s say I’d like to override a hbs template from a plugin, like the amazing Events plugin. I’ve tried the following scripts: ***some stuff so category icon could be displayed instead of circle*** ***some stuff so category icon could be displayed instead of circle*** but they are not executed. I guess the template is not found at that location, so how can I access it ? Are plugins templates in their own directory ? If so, where ? This is not explained in the theme guide. Thanks in advance !

I will make sure to add instructions on this to the main guide, but for now, take a look at my response: [image]Developing Discourse Themes & Theme Components Here’s the basic idea of what you would add to the section of your theme: Template at the root: Template in a subfolder

Thanks a lot but that does not answer my usecase: As far as I understand, the «root» folder is (discourse/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/templates/) so I can access a component in a subfolder from this path. But the template I want to access is in: discourse/plugins/discourse-events/assets/javascripts/discourse/templates/components/ which is not a subfolder of the first one. Is there a way to modify those without forking the plugin ? Or do you mean I should use /javascripts/discourse/templates/components/template-name ? (I’ve tried and it does not seems to work but I may have done some other mistake.) Or have I misunderstood something ? Thanks in advance !

Maybe there’s some confusion surrounding terminology here. In any case, just use: You don’t need to include anything else in the data-template-name. It will get mapped correctly.

Thanks a lot ! That’s exactly what I needed. :slight_smile:

If none of these work for your use-case, feel free to open a PR to Discourse core or start a #dev topic here on Meta. We’re always happy to discuss adding new outlets/APIs to make customization easier. If you’ve exhausted all other options, you may need to resort to template overrides.
