<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>
<h4>Grunt</h4>
<p>This plugin takes advantage of Grunt for validating JavaScript, SASS compilation and minification. To take advantage of Grunt you have to have both <a href="https://npmjs.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">npm</a> and <a href="http://gruntjs.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Grunt</a> installed. Visit the respective sites for the applications and make sure they are installed. Once installed, if you want to edit/fork this plugin, it will be helpful to be familiar with these two tools.</p>
