[Is this better posted in "Using CiviEvent"?]

Hi all,

I'm trying to customize a template for a specific event with an event_id of "2". I can place Register.extra.tpl into <customdir>/templates/CRM/Event/Form/Registration/2 and it works great.  However, I can't put AdditionalParticipant.extra.tpl into that directory, which I assume is related to the fact that the event_id isn't part of the URL when loading that template.

Have other folks encountered this?  Is there a workaround?  I'm assuming the event ID is somewhere in the session variables if I had to dig it out - is that how other folks do this?

There is also a hook you can use - not sure if it's on the wiki (karma if you add it)


  /**
   * This hooks allows alteration of the tpl file used to generate content. It differs from the
   * altercontent hook as the content has already been rendered through the tpl at that point
   *
   * @param $formName  previously generated content
   * @param $form reference to the form object
   * @param $context  context of content - page or form
   * @param $tplName reference the file name of the tpl
   *
   * @access public
   */
  static function alterTemplateFile($formName, &$form, $context, &$tplName) {
    return self::singleton()->invoke(4, $formName, $form, $context, $tplName,
      self::$_nullObject,
      'civicrm_alterTemplateFile'
    );
