doc/todo/multiple_template_directories.mdwn



It would be nice to be able to override a single template without keeping a
private copy of the entire template directory.
a setup option like
templatedirs => [ "my/dir", "/usr/share/ikiwiki/templates" ]
ought to do the trick.

Now that I look at the source, I see that ikiwiki already falls back to the
global dir when it cannot find a template. For me, this is good enough.
And it is even documented in the man page. Sigh. I guess this could be
considered [[done]].

I have a use case for this, a site composed of blogs and wikis, templates divided in three categories : common, blog and wiki. The only solution I found is maintaining hard links, being able to have multiple template dirs would obviously be better. -- Changaco
