    Hi!

    I’m having trouble overwriting “overview.php” in /templates/dashboard/reports. I put it under /themes/mytheme/wc-vendors/dashboard/reports, but it’s not overwriting.

    I’ve already overwritten “product-edit.php” in /templates/dashboard. I put under /themes/mytheme/wc-vendors/dashboard, and it works just fine.

    What am I missing?

    Aah, it appears there’s an error in the template that will cause it to not load. We’ll have that patched up for next release. But never fear, it’s a really easy fix and you can do it right now.

    Copy over /dashboard/dashboard.php into your template folder. The paths are relative in it, so just by copying this file, your new overview.php will then be detected and used. That should fix it!

    Cheers

    Ben,

    I see, but now reports.php won’t load unless I copy that one over too. And I don’t even need to change that one.

    I haven’t tested it, but I suppose it’s possible that the files in the “order” folder won’t work either unless I copy all of those as well, given that they’re also in a subfolder beneath dashboard.php.

    Good point. Just copy over reports too then. You dont have to “change” anything to copy them. 🙂

    The stuff in /orders/ should call correctly because we use:

    wc_get_template( 'order_note.php', array( 'time_posted' => $time_posted, 'note_text' => $note_text ), 'wc-vendors/dashboard/order/', $this->base_dir . 'templates/dashboard/order/' );

    ….to fetch the template, where as in the dashboard.php file we did not (oops).

    Ok, I’ll leave as-is for now and try to remember to delete my unmodified dashboard.php and reports.php after you implement the fix.
