SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This guideline enforces that the compiled template output in view/tpl cannot be edited directly. All changes must be made against the corresponding source templates in view/templates or view/theme, and the system will re-generate the compiled output from those sources to ensure consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces strict separation between compiled assets (view/tpl) and their source origins (view/templates, view/theme, and module sources).
  • Guides developers to locate source templates efficiently, and to validate changes via the standard build/compile workflow.
  • Use Case: A developer notices a mismatch between the rendered UI and the source template; they locate the source in view/templates, update it, and trigger the build to reflect changes in view/tpl.

Quick Start

Modify the source template in view/templates or view/theme and re-run the build to refresh the compiled outputs.

Frequently Asked Questions about template-source-editing

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
Why do my template changes in view/tpl keep getting overwritten?▼

Changes to compiled templates in view/tpl are overwritten because the build process regenerates them. You must edit the source templates in view/templates or view/theme to ensure updates persist through the build workflow.

How do I safely edit frontend templates without breaking the build?▼

To safely edit frontend templates, modify the source files in view/templates or view/theme instead of the compiled view/tpl outputs. Re-running the standard build process will regenerate the compiled templates to reflect your source updates.

What is the difference between source templates and compiled template outputs?▼

Source templates reside in view/templates or view/theme and serve as the single editable origin. Compiled template outputs in view/tpl are generated artifacts that should never be edited directly to maintain consistency across the framework.

Where do I locate the source template for a specific view/tpl file?▼

You locate the source template for a compiled view/tpl file by checking the corresponding module sources, view/templates, or view/theme directories. The framework maps these source origins to generate the final compiled output during the build.

Can I directly modify phtml files in the view/tpl directory?▼

You cannot directly modify phtml files in the view/tpl directory because it contains compiled outputs. All modifications must target the source templates in view/templates or view/theme to ensure the build process regenerates consistent views.

What should I do if the rendered UI does not match my source template updates?▼

If the rendered UI does not match your source template updates, verify you modified the correct source in view/templates or view/theme. Then trigger the standard build or compile workflow to refresh the compiled view/tpl outputs and reflect the changes.
