Add custom export templates: where to create the folder "export" and how to modify export.en.xlf?

[marylou]

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?

[marylou]

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

[marylou]

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)

[girish]

@msbt oh, i didn't realize that path was in use. will put it back

[girish]

@msbt published

@girish thanks, appreciate it! already tested, templates are back

[marylou]

And mine are still there.
