Use different EditView.tpl

[mikesolomon]

I want to make some modifications to EditView.tpl

I have copied it to custom/include/EditView/EditView.tpl

The file is set in MVC/View/views/view.edit.php

I could modify that to point to my new template but would prefer to do it in an upgrade safe manner

Is there a way to do this?

I want all modules to use the new template otherwise I would create individual view.edit files

You could take a look on users' module (/modules/Users/) there is defined its own editview.tpl. Maybe you can check how itr was done and make your own.

I can do it in individual modules using view.edit but I want to use my revised template in all modules

You would need to add a view.edit.php file in each module you want to use your template, overriding the preDisplay() method like so:

 function preDisplay()
{
    parent::preDisplay();
    $this->ev->tpl = 'yourtplfile.tpl';
}

yup that would work but I was looking for a way that avoided that

That's pretty much it from an upgrade-safe approach. If you are willing to sacrifice that, you could change the template being used in the EditView2.php file directly.

I've changed it in MVC/View/views/view.edit.php

not upgrade safe but simple

what i'm doing is adding a JavaScript file to all EditView's
