    Hi @joseph,

    Thank you for your reply in the other thread on invoice templates, but I am trying to add export templates, not invoice templates.

    They need to be in a directory called "export": https://www.kimai.org/documentation/export.html

    So I tried adding to local.yaml

    kimai:
        export:    
                    documents:    
                            - '/app/data/export/'
    

    Unfortunately,my templates are not added to the dropdown menu.

    When I try to change documents to "templates", I get the following error message when I try to rebuild the cache:

    ERROR] Unrecognized option "template" under "kimai.export". Available options are "defaults", "documents".      
    

    When I use "defaults", the default templates disappear from the menu.

    kimai:
        export:    
                   defaults:    
                            - '/app/data/export/'
    

    So I guess I could try to copy the defaults into the folder and point to defaults.

      Copying the default files into the folder did not work.

        Have you tried settings documents instead of defaults ?

          I tried documents first, then defaults.

            What I don't understand is how Kimai should know what to call the additional template in the dropdown menu.
            This is why I think it it's necessary to also modify the export-en.xlf.

            Edit: I suppose it will get an id once it is located and the translation file would translate the ID into whatever "resname" you select. So I should expect to see an ID in the dropdown.

              I also tried.

              • 'app/data/export/'
              • '/data/export/'
                I reloaded the cache every time. The additional templates do not appear.

                @marylou maybe https://git.cloudron.io/apps/kimai-app/-/merge_requests/6 works... I have published a new package that uses /app/data/export . Can you try?

                  Updating now.
                  Just to be sure: I delete the path I added to local.yaml, correct?

                    YEAH!!!!!!!

                    Thank you SO SO SO much, @girish.

                    Fun fact: the order of the menu buttons changed (for lack of a better word, it is also the word used in the kimai documentation) from CSV / Excel / Print / PDF to CSV / Excel / PDF / Print.

                    But there is now a fifth template in the PDF dropdown and it has the file name as a name.
                    Again, thank you so much!!!

                      @girish I'm afraid this update removed the custom invoices templates, I can't create new invoices because the templates are now "missing". Could you symlink that path again? /app/data/invoices was used for templates, /app/data/data/invoices/ for exported pdfs (https://www.kimai.org/documentation/invoices.html#create-your-own-invoice-document for reference)
