Description (last modified by juliandoucette)

Background

  • We would like to share code across websites
  • If I am able to add dependencies to websites (see #5335)
    • Then I could also add generic includes, pages, and templates to website-defaults
      • If CMS would allow me to load from additional paths

What to change

Allow me to specify additional global, include, page, and template paths that will resolve if they cannot be found in the default paths. e.g.

If I specify:
additional_includes=[node_modules/website-defaults/includes]

Then I:
<? include example ?>

Then:

  1. CMS should check includes/examlpe
  2. If it doesn't find example there then it should check the paths specified above
  • I'm open to suggestion about how and where this should be specified
    • The first thing that comes to mind is settings.ini

I forgot about globals :D

Real world example: If implemented, I could define a standard set of meta data fields inside includes in website-defaults and share these includes across websites (if I am able to add dependencies - #5335) instead of duplicating them in each website repository.
