When the plugin i made tries to load a custom template on the controller i get the following error message:
Unable to load template snippet ‚frontend/index/index.tpl|frontend/plugins/seo/index.tpl‘ in engine/Library/Smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatebase.php on line 127
I followed the documentation pretty much to the letter but it somehow doesn’t work at all. And since i’m not using a custom theme for this project i can’t just set injectBeforePlugins = true in a Theme.php file because i’m not using one (as far as i know anyway) and the Bare and Responsive Theme.php file have injectBeforePlugins = true by default.
For a little more info on how my actual code looks like, my bootstrap file looks like this:
/**
* @inheritdoc
*/
public static function getSubscribedEvents()
{
return [
'Enlight_Controller_Dispatcher_ControllerPath_Frontend_Event' => 'onGetFrontendController'
];
}
/**
* @return string
*/
public function onGetFrontendController()
{
$this->container->get('Template')->addTemplateDir($this->getPath() . '/Resources/views/');
return $this->getPath() . 'Controllers/Frontend/MyController.php';
}
my template file looks like this:
{extends file="parent:frontend/index/index.tpl"}
{block name="frontend_index_content_left"}{/block}
{block name="frontend_index_content"}
{foreach $result as $item}
{* some code *}
{/foreach}
{/block}
and my plugin directory structure looks like this:
I’m at a complete loss on how to fix this problem so any help is appreciated
first of all: Can you provide your MyController.php aswell?
So, basically, you’re overwriting the main template-file in Shopware at the moment: frontend/index/index.tpl
Nearly your whole Shopware installation should be mostly empty now, since you even replace the main-block frontend_index_content in your own template.
Did you just want to provide a custom template for your custom controller? E.g. when you call it like that: myShop.com/MyController
Shopware expects a custom template for each frontend controller action by default, placed in the folder equal to the controller-path.
In that case, you’d have to create a file in the following folder: MyPlugin/Resources/views/frontend/my_controller/ index.tpl
Just remember: The index.tpl must have the same name as the action you’ve called in your controller.
E.g. indexAction is called => You’ll need an index.tpl
fooAction is called => You’ll need a foo.tpl
Your controller is placed at Frontend/ MyController , therefore you need to place your template in the folder frontend/ my_controller , starting from your custom views-directory.
Did this help you a little further or did I just confuse you a little more?

yes, that is exactly what i’m trying to achieve. I want to use the same template the homepage has on my controller, and just overwrite the main content block to show what i want it to show. so when i call myshop.com/MyController i will see the same layout as the homepage, but diffirent content.
my MyController.php looks like this:
View()->assign('message', $result);
}
}
might aswell add the complete template code while i’m at it
in that case you’ll have to rename the index-folder in your plugin.
Currently your template is placed in Resources/views/frontend/ index /index.tpl.
Simply rename it to: Resources/views/frontend/ my_controller /index.tpl
in that case you’ll have to rename the index-folder in your plugin.
Currently your template is placed in Resources/views/frontend/ index /index.tpl.
Simply rename it to: Resources/views/frontend/ my_controller /index.tpl
Then it should work just fine already!
Hello Patrick,
Even after renaming the folder, i still get the same error. So unfortunately this solution doesn’t work for me for whatever reason
Can you zip & upload your plugin somewhere and send me the link (here or in a private message) ?
I’d have a quick look into it then, pretty sure I can resolve that issue very fast.
What did I have to do?
1st: Your registered event in your DnovoEvents.php was wrong. There was an ‘s’ missing at the end of the string, since your controller is written with a ‘s’ at the end.
2nd: The path to your controller was missing a slash ( / ) at the beginning in the method onGetFrontendController. The path to your custom views directory was correct though and already included a slash.
3rd: Make sure to only use lower-case folder names in your views-folder. Had to change both “Frontend” and “events” to be lowercase.
After those three adjustments, the plugin worked for me and I could successfully call your custom controller with the proper template.
