I'm trying to build a simple dropdown field with a pre-populated set of options, so I figured I'd just import most of the methods from Craft's native Dropdown field. The plugin name is siteutilities and the field name is Regionselect:

namespace kgrote\siteutilities\fields;

use kgrote\siteutilities\SiteUtilities;

use Craft;
use craft\base\ElementInterface;
use craft\fields\BaseOptionsField;

This pulls in the code from craft/vendor/craftcms/cms/src/fields/BaseOptionsField.php.

So now I want to render a custom settings template for my plugin:

public function getSettingsHtml()
{
    return Craft::$app->getView()->renderTemplate(
        '_components/fields/Regionselect_settings',
        [
            'field' => $this,
        ]
    );
}

But I get a Twig error:

Unable to find the template “_components/fields/Regionselect_settings”.

My plugin file structure looks like this:

kgrote
|-siteutilities
  |-src
    |-fields
    |  |-Regionselect.php
    |-templates
    |  |-_components
    |    |-fields
    |      |-Regionselect_settings.html
    |-SiteUtilities.php

    It searches for your template as well. Are you sure it's the correct path? Do you use a custom module instead of a plugin eventually? – Robin Schambach Sep 19 '18 at 22:07
  • @RobinSchambach I think so, I've updated the question with my plugin's file structure. And no I don't use a custom module, just a plugin. – kmgdev Sep 20 '18 at 19:57

    Why a php file? You can only render twig and html files. All others won't be parsed/proceed by Twig – Robin Schambach Sep 20 '18 at 19:58

    You need to include your plugin handle at the first position plugin-handle/_components/fields/Regionselect_settings – Robin Schambach Sep 20 '18 at 20:48

    Sorry for being so slow. I somehow overview that mistake at the first sight. – Robin Schambach Sep 20 '18 at 21:09

In order to render a template within your custom plugin you need to include your plugin handle in front of your template path. For example

plugin-handle/_components/fields/Regionselect_settings
