# Use own HTML Templates

## Basics

If you want to modify a HTML-File of femanager, you should not overwrite them directly in the extension folder.
Think about upcoming versions with important bugfixes or security-patches.

There are two ways to use own HTML-Templates (and Partials / Layouts) instead of the original Templates.

## Replace all HTML Templates from Femanager with own Templates

You can copy all Files from
\- EXT:femanager/Resources/Private/Templates/
\- EXT:femanager/Resources/Private/Partials/
\- EXT:femanager/Resources/Private/Layouts/

to a new folder in fileadmin - e.g. fileadmin/templates/femanager/ and modify them as you want.
After that, you should say femanager to use the new Templates with some lines of TypoScript setup:

```text
plugin.tx_femanager {
	view {
		templateRootPath = fileadmin/templates/femanager/Templates/
		partialRootPath = fileadmin/templates/femanager/Partials/
		layoutRootPath = fileadmin/templates/femanager/Layouts/
	}
}
```

## Replace single HTML Template-Files

You can copy only the Files that you want to modify from
\- EXT:femanager/Resources/Private/Templates/
\- EXT:femanager/Resources/Private/Partials/
\- EXT:femanager/Resources/Private/Layouts/

to a new folder in fileadmin - e.g. fileadmin/templates/femanager/ and modify them as you want.
After that, you should say femanager to use the old folders and merge them with the new folders

```text
plugin.tx_femanager {
	view {
		templateRootPath >
		templateRootPaths {
			10 = EXT:femanager/Resources/Private/Templates/
			20 = fileadmin/templates/femanager/Templates/
		}
		partialRootPath >
		partialRootPaths {
			10 = EXT:femanager/Resources/Private/Partials/
			20 = fileadmin/templates/femanager/Partials/
		}
		layoutRootPath >
		layoutRootPaths {
			10 = EXT:femanager/Resources/Private/Layouts/
			20 = fileadmin/templates/femanager/Layouts/
		}
	}
}
```
