2. Uninstall the Template Select plugin.

Configuring Template Selector

Create a new field and choose field type Template Selector.

In the field settings, you can limit the list of available templates to a subfolder of the Craft templates folder. The path is relative, i.e. subfolder/anotherfolder. This may also be set to an ENV variable.

In the field settings, you can choose to make the template names more user friendly. In the field, file extensions will be removed, and the file names properly capitalized and spaced for readability.

Using Template Selector

Output the chosen template name:

{{ entry.fieldHandle }}

Include/Embed the chosen template:

{% include entry.fieldHandle %} or {% include 'myFolder/anotherFolder/' ~ entry.fieldHandle %}

Output the subfolder name:

{{ craft.templateSelector.subfolder('fieldHandle') }}

Include/Embed more dynamically:

{% include craft.templateSelector.subfolder('fieldHandle') ~ '/' ~ entry.fieldHandle %}
