Hi all ``` I try to develop new plugin to change footer. And when I install it on dev server it works. But on production not. How I can set priority to plugin? I mean firstly use footer from my plugin and only then from another plugins/themes ``` ---

It is like 1. Core 2. Plug-Ins 3. Themes This is how shopware inherits in SW5. Now you have 2 options to overwrite the default inheritance: 1. Tell the theme via that it should load before the plug-ins 1. register your functions to the subscribeEvents of your plug-ins with an higher position as the other plug-ins or themes via a third parameter       ---

Well, Zero is a pretty low value for a higher position 😉 Try _PHP\_INT\_MAX_ _and if this works try a more feasible value._ ---

Ok, another idea came to my mind: Since this is a frontend-extension i am assuming you are appending or prepending some smarty blocks. There is a known bug that two Plug-Ins appending/prepending the same smarty block won’t both append/prepend. So instead of   ``` {block name='x' append} //my code {/block} ``` use   ``` {block name='x'} {$smarty.block.parent} //my code {/block} ``` (for prepend operation just swap //my code with {$smarty.block.parent}   ---

Hi it does not help( my code is  ``` {extends file="parent:frontend/index/footer.tpl"} {block name="frontend_index_shopware_footer_copyright"} {$smarty.block.parent} test {/block} ``` But I wonder about right way to tpl file. In plugin I use Views/frontend/index/footer.tpl Maybe exists some way to known what tpl files shopware use to render page? Like debug or something else ---

Can you help me?   So you registered your own function onFrontendPostDispatch.

It does not help because shopware when renredering page use tpl files in unknown order. I need to know what tpl files uses for render page ---

Hi, the general hierarchy can be accessed with this command:  ```   Shopware()->Template()->getTemplateDir() ``` It will print out something like this: ``` Array ( [0] => /var/www/html/52/engine/Shopware/Plugins/Local/Frontend/SwagPromotion/Views/ [1] => /var/www/html/52/themes/Frontend/Responsive/ [2] => /var/www/html/52/themes/Frontend/Bare/ ) ``` So in my case, it will look up a given template file in the order SwagPromotion-Plugin, Responsive-Theme, Bare-Theme. If you have a custom theme in place, the hierarchy will look like this: ``` Array ( [0] => /var/www/html/52/themes/Frontend/CustomTheme/ [1] => /var/www/html/52/engine/Shopware/Plugins/Local/Frontend/SwagPromotion/Views/ [2] => /var/www/html/52/themes/Frontend/Responsive/ [3] => /var/www/html/52/themes/Frontend/Bare/ ) ``` So in this case, the custom theme will extend / overwrite my plugin’s template.  Daniel ---

@Maksim‍ Which shopware version have you installed? You may have a look at [Getting started with Smarty](https://developers.shopware.com/designers-guide/smarty/#inheritance-and-plugin-templates) This theme configuration property has come with version 5.1.2: [SW-12782 - Add theme config property to configure inheritance position · shopware/shopware@163860e · GitHub](https://github.com/shopware/shopware/commit/163860e8b789f8c0f0aa40ddc1661c0abcd7cada) You can change the var in your Theme.php to _true_ or _false_: [shopware/Theme.php at 5.1 · shopware/shopware · GitHub](https://github.com/shopware/shopware/blob/5.1/themes/Frontend/Responsive/Theme.php#L43)
