Civicrm Extensions and templates, multiple Summary.extra.tpl
March 07, 2014, 02:18:53 am
I have two extensions with a template called Summary.extra.tpl in the folder /CRM/Page/View.
But only one works. If I disable one extension the other one works and visa versa.

Is it possible to have multiple Summary.extra.tpl with multiple extensions?

No.
Really .extra.tpl is a method that should not be used by extensions because it can't be used that way.
Hooks and regions are better. Try injecting your content using CRM_Core_Region instead.
Try asking your question on the new CiviCRM help site.

Coleman, agree with your recommendation. Leads to another thought: could we do something with these do's and don'ts on the Documentation wiki?

I noticed this and created myself an issue for my extension here:
https://github.com/iATSPayments/com.iatspayments.civicrm/issues/1

But when trying to implement it, I'm running into the issue that there isn't any region to add into, as far as I can see. Since I'm just adding some javascript, I thought I could even better just use
Code: [Select]
CRM_Core_Resources::singleton()->addScriptFile('com.example.foo', 'bar.js');but that's not great because the page I want to add stuff to is just a snippet pulled in via ajax, which means I'd have to load it for the parent page, which is starting to sound inefficient and error prone (i.e. I want that javascript to be more tightly attached to the snippet).

Any suggestions? I'm trying to add my extra stuff to the Contribution tab of the contact summary page.

I believe the head and body regions are always available. I have (ab)used the body one to stuck some html at the bottom. with a oneliner jQuery to move it where I need it to be displayed.

Okay, that's good to know, thanks. I'll have to see if it also works for ajax-loaded snippets ...
