Overriding theme files

[wildfox]

Hi,

I have a child theme and I’d like to override the file interface.php which is located in dante/swift-framework/sf-shortcodes/.
All strings within <p class”info”></p> are not set to be translated so the only way to have it in french (or other language) is to override the file with a modified interface.php file in my child theme.
How to please?

regards

Hi,

Create the same folder structure in the child theme, dante/swift-framework/sf-shortcodes/ and then put the file interface.php and do your changes, it will automatically get override.

else,

Try to cover the untranslated string to

_e('Button', 'swift-framework-admin');

and then run the translate plugin ( codestyling localization ) or use manual method using POEdit to recreate the .po then try to translate.

Let us know,

Thanks,
laranz.

Hi,

The first method doesn’t work at all. I already tried to put interface.php in my child theme after making some translations.
I know that a file located in a child theme folder (child-theme/file.php) get override but I read something about files located in child theme subdirectory doesn’t get override.
How interface.php is included to the theme?

The second method is not a good one for me. I don’t want to modify original dantes files, it would be a mess to keep it up to date.

Hi,

That’s not viable to try to override that file it’s too complex, we prefer to fix the original problem of the missing translations in the next update.

That’s ok with you?

Other solution is to use this plugin

Real-Time Find and Replace

Set up find and replace rules that are executed AFTER a page is generated by WordPress, but BEFORE it is sent to a user’s browser.

Hope it helps.

ok I’ll wait until the next update… hopefully coming soon.
The plugin rtfr doesn’t work in my case.

No problem

I have sort of the same request. I modified the /swift-framework/page-builder/builder/lib/builder.php file to also include a custom post type on line 62 so that I could also use page builder in my own post types and it works great. After an update, I lost it. So I am now using a child theme and wondering how to override this file using my child theme??

Hi,

I think it’s not possible to override that file. Will need to forward to the development team so they can confirm if it’s possible or not.

Thanks

If that’s true, is there another way I can activate page builder on other custom post types from inside my child theme?

[Swift Ideas – Ed]

Hi there,

Yes – you can filter the array of post types to add/remove/replace as you like. See this code:

function custom_page_builder_post_types() {
	return array('page', 'post', 'portfolio', 'product', 'team', 'jobs', 'ajde_events');
}
add_filter( 'spb_pt_array', 'custom_page_builder_post_types' );
