- bool $load: If true the template file will be loaded if it is found.
- bool $require_once: Whether to require_once or require. Default true. Has no effect if $load is false.
Return values
returns:The template filename if one is located.
Source code
function locate_template($template_names, $load = false, $require_once = true ) {
$located = '';
foreach ( (array) $template_names as $template_name ) {
if ( !$template_name )
continue;
if ( file_exists(STYLESHEETPATH . '/' . $template_name)) {
$located = STYLESHEETPATH . '/' . $template_name;
break;
} else if ( file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH . '/' . $template_name) ) {
$located = TEMPLATEPATH . '/' . $template_name;
break;
}
