email templates path not working about directus HOT 21 CLOSED

bro the docu is so bad about this... i am a big fan of directus but this stuff is really not fair to configure... actually so simple but if you dont know you dont know...
happy we are a bit a head now! All the best and thanks for reaching out and you did help us!

from directus.

I know, the docs are behind the latest version in many places. But i can imagine it's really hard for the guys to keep the docs up to date along with all the issues. I did a docs PR for the added templates volume in the example docker-compose file, and it was merged in. Hoping to find time to do more docs PRs

good job mate! your are right

from directus.

hmm, i have forked the directus repo to try to reproduce the issue and I haven't succeeded, ie template being targetted fine.
But I wish I knew why it was happening in my project

from directus.

ah! I figured it out. Now that the templates directory is not inside the extensions directory, it will need it's own docker volume ... facepalm ;)
Should this be added to the docs ? Will do a pull request.

dude how did you solve it? we have the same issue. Cant read access the custom-template.liquid

from directus.

we tried ./templates and extensions/templates and restart the docker

from directus.

hey! in your docker-compose.yml, your directus container must have this ( ie add the templates volume):
volumes:
- ./extensions:/directus/extensions
- ./templates:/directus/templates

from directus.

big thanks for your reply! And you added the folder templates yourself and created a base.liquid etc?

from directus.

pleasure! yes i did

from directus.

can you send me a structure of your base.liquid?

from directus.

thats my followup.template.liquid file... and it wont find or access this one. I have no idea anymore...

from directus.

i get this error
"name": "DirectusError",
"extensions": {
"reason": "Template "followup-template" doesn't exist"
},
"code": "INVALID_PAYLOAD",
"status": 400

from directus.

hmm... you have rebuilt the docker-compose?

from directus.

I'm not useing a base template, but thats not relevant really. Are you on the latest version? 10.11.0?

from directus.

yes we did we found the error now!
we also have to add this to the docker compose.yml

from directus.

working now!

from directus.

AH yes, forgot about that, although i would have thought it would default . Anyhow... Cool man glad its working. Always good to know I'm not the only one tearing my hair out about these things lol
