[5.x] Add configurable @blueprint template base path
Adds a new configuration option to customize where Statamic looks for templates when using @blueprint in collections to map templates to entry blueprints.
If template: @blueprint is set on the collection, by default it looks for a template that corresponds with the blueprint in
resources/views/{collection}/{template}.antlers.html.
- [x] With the new config option the user can set a different base path
/resources/views/{blueprint_template_base_path}/{template}.antlers.html.
What's your actual use case for this?
I want to reuse the same set of templates (mapped to blueprints with the same name) across multiple collections without duplicating template files. This is my views folder:
resources/
└── views/
├── shared_blueprints/
│ ├── page_builder.antlers.html
│ ├── simple_page.antlers.html
│ └── article.antlers.html
└── ...
Currently, template: @blueprint forces templates into collection-specific folders (views/pages/, views/landing_pages/). This would require duplication. With the proposed config option, you could avoid this template dispatcher partial:
{{ partial src="shared_blueprints/{{ blueprint }}" }}
Gotcha so you just want to avoid the collection prefix and replace it with your own basically.
