frm_default_templates_files

A network of sites could benefit from sharing a set of templates. As long as it's a Formidable XML file, it can include anything: forms, views, styles, entries, posts, pages, custom posts. You name it. You can load and update your XML every time the Formidable database update is triggered.

add_filter( 'frm_default_templates_files', 'add_more_default_templates', 30 );
function add_more_default_templates( $template_files ) {
  $template_files[] = dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/yourxml.xml'; // make sure the path to your XML file is correct
  return $template_files;
}

If you need to trigger the templates to be updated at times other than when Formidable says so, use this line:

FrmXMLController::add_default_templates();

On some sites, you may decide the default templates aren't helpful to you or your clients. In this case, you can delete the templates from your forms list, and use this example to prevent them from being regenerated the next time Formidable is updated.

add_filter( 'frm_default_templates_files', 'stop_default_templates', 30 );
function stop_default_templates(){
  return array();
}
