    No problem … Connections 0.8; I’ve modified the loading of templates just slightly. Now, the only thing that needs done is copy the core template from the templates to the plugins folder and activate. It will then override the core template so one can tweak away and it’ll be update safe.

    This was part of the plan from the beginning when I redesigned the templating system back in March … and there’s is more to come to make this even easier and more flexible.

    Hi there! I had the same issue as Todd in that I am trying to get a custom template to register. I’ve been following along this thread but after I changed the line:

    add_action( 'plugins_loaded', array( 'CN_Custom_Template', 'register' ), 11 );

    I had the plugin/template register in WordPress, but I get the following PHP error on the front-end of the website for each instance of a contact card:

    Warning: call_user_func_array() [function.call-user-func-array]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback, 'CN_Custom_Template::custom' was given in /hermes/bosweb/web173/b1870/nf.finningcompactedmont/public_html/finningcompactedmonton.com/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 429

    I’m realizing that changing the following line:

    $template->part( array( 'tag' => 'card', 'type' => 'action', 'callback' => array( $this, 'custom' ) ) );

    Whatever name I enter in the place where ‘custom’ resides, that word is attached to the above error in place of ‘CN_Custom_Template::custom’

    Annnnnd, I’m at a loss! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Assuming you modding the Default Card template … Change all 4 instances of CN_Card_Template to CN_Custom_Template (or other unique name). Then update the following as needed with your details:

    $atts = array(
	'class'       => 'CN_Card_Template',
	'name'        => 'Default Entry Card',
	'slug'        => 'card',
	'type'        => 'all',
	'version'     => '2.0',
	'author'      => 'Steven A. Zahm',
	'authorURL'   => 'connections-pro.com',
	'description' => 'This is the default template.',
	'custom'      => FALSE,
	'path'        => plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ),
	'url'         => plugin_dir_url( __FILE__ ),
	'thumbnail'   => 'thumbnail.png',
	'parts'       => array(),
	);

    I would not change this line at all … only the tweak the code within the function to meet your needs:

    $template->part( array( 'tag' => 'card', 'type' => 'action', 'callback' => array( $this, 'card' ) ) );

    Hope that helps.
