Hello,

I created a new plugin. It has "templates" dir with "template.mustache" file. I can include this template in another template via {{> auth_myplugin/template }}. But what with template context and variables for that template? 

I don't want create a new page and render it. All I want is pass the variables from PHP to my template and display it in sidebar of my theme.

Hi Paul,

you can override templates in your theme by adding a folder with the component name in your templates folder. There you put the template you want to override.

Example: You want to overriede the template "xyz" from "block_xyz".

  1. Create a folder in your theme "templates/block_xyz"
  2. Copy the original template "blocks/xyz/templates/xyz.mustache" into your new folder.
  3. Change the template as you wish.

The data will be passed automatically to your template every time the template is used.

Best regards
Andreas
