okay i have a form to save a yaml file to my themes directory with order information in it. the form saves the file into my themes directory at /user/themes/sr/data/orders/{{ grav.user.username }}.yaml that is working using a plugin i created called ordersaver. i do not for the life of me can figure out how to display the order information from that yaml file in a twig template called orders. I can get the twig template called orders to show the contents if the orders are in the page frontmatterpage.header.orders of the page .md file but does NOT showing from the themes .yaml file i mentioned earlier. I will post my code below the plugin .php file and the order-form for submitting the order data in pages frontmatter and finnally the template twig file for rendering the order data. i have done plenty of troubleshooting and am able to get the resloved path to show correctly my twig template is finding the .yaml file in my themes folder but will not render the darn contents of the file. another thing is that all orders will be placed in this themes folder and the twig template will loop through finding orders with the logged in users name to know which details to display from the file.
