Override The Events Calendar's V2 Views from a custom plugin location

functions.php

<?php
/**
 * Add your own plugin as a template override location for The Events Calendar, Event Tickets, and related plugins. Only
 * for TEC's V2 Views and ET's addons/overrides of TEC's V2 Views. Still need the old snippet for overriding ET's files.
 *
 * Each custom array's `path` is whatever you want it to be (i.e. customizable) up until the 'v2' part of each
 * template's override path. We chose to keep it as `tribe/events` and `tribe/tickets` for simplicity.
 * So if the TEC location for a view is:
 *   /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/v2/list/event/featured-image.php
 * Then this plugin's override location would be:
 *   /wp-content/plugins/MY-PLUGIN/tribe/events/list/event/featured-image.php
 * And the theme's override location would be:
 *   /wp-content/themes/YOUR-CHILD-THEME/tribe/events/v2/list/event/featured-image.php
 * FYI: Parent/Child Themes will override this custom plugin's override. Use your own custom code with the
 * `tribe_template_theme_path_list` filter instead of this snippet to trump theme overrides if you must, but that is not
 * typical best practice, although it may be necessary in order to override a theme that comes with V2 Views overrides
 * (e.g. Avada) that you want to override.
 *

Glad to help! 😺

Hello and thanks for that snippet, it works great !
However, I'm trying to customize the single event template and its meta template files. The file I wanted to edit is details.php which is on modules folder ( /src/views/modules/meta/details.php ),
Do you know if there is a way to do that because your snippet seems to only target files which are in v2 folder ?

Thank you !

Glad to help, but you'll have to contact https://support.theeventscalendar.com/ for additional requests.

Hi clifforp. I really need your help. i have followed your tutorial above and it works fine except for the events calendar pro override. This is my code:

function load_template_plugin($folders, string $template ) {

/*
 * Custom loading location for overriding The Events Calendar's templates from within the deltec plugin
 */
$folders['theevent_calendar_addon'] = [
  'id'       => 'theevent_calendar_addon',
  'priority' => 1, // The Event Calendar is 20, Event Tickets is 17
  'path'     =>  EVENTCALENDAR_DIR . 'tribe/events/v2', 
];

$folders['theevent_calendar_addon_pro'] = [
'id' => 'theevent_calendar_addon_pro',
'priority' => 5, // The Event Calendar is 20, Event Tickets is 17
'path' => EVENTCALENDAR_DIR . 'tribe/events-pro/v2',
];

return $folders;

}

add_filter( 'tribe_template_theme_path_list', 'load_template_plugin', 10, 2 );

when i copy the folder to the theme the events pro works. but i dont seem to see what i am doing wrong with my plugin
