Hi folks,

&nbsp;

How can I overwrite plugin tempate file from theme?

For example, I have plugin called " **SwagB2bPlugin**" and I cant find the proper solution to extend its **frontend / b2bdashboard / index.tpl** template from theme ?

Hello,

do you want to **extend the plugin templates with another plugin** or **extend the plugin templates with your theme**?

If you want to extend it **via your theme,** you need to change the theme inhertiance as described in our documentation:&nbsp;[Getting started with Smarty](https://developers.shopware.com/designers-guide/smarty/#template-inheritance)

If you want to extend it **via plugin** , you can find an example plugin in my github repository:&nbsp;[GitHub - mnaczenski/MNExtendB2B](https://github.com/mnaczenski/MNExtendB2B)  
In this case it is necessary to have a look at the subscriber of the plugin you want to extend, because you need to register your plugin template before the plugin registers its template directories.
