<h4>Usage of srpw_template filter</h4>
<p>Add a “views” directory and file named “custom-srpw.php” to your template directory. The “custom-srpw.php” file will be your custom template for this example.</p>
<h4>Example of using a custom template from within your theme pre-PHP 5.3</h4>
<pre><code>    <?php

        function customize_srpw_template_filter( $template ){
            $template_dir = get_template_directory();
            return $template_dir . '/views/custom-srpw.php';
        }
        add_filter( 'srpw_template', 'customize_srpw_template_filter' );
        ?>
</code></pre>
<h4>Example of using a custom template from within your theme PHP 5.3+ which allows anonymous functions</h4>
<pre><code>    <?php

        add_filter( 'srpw_template', function ( $template ){
            $template_dir = get_template_directory();
            return $template_dir . '/views/custom-srpw.php';
        } );
        ?>
</code></pre>
