If You are developing some projects that look really similar but needs some differences, You can chain the templates.

I.E. You create the template for project Base, with all images, component dirs and other stuff, and you want to replicate as Inherited.

You must:

• set template to Inherited,
• set property key=Templates,ComponentType=None to Base->Inherited
• Also have the "Base" directory in the ./Templates/ dir,
• Create a file  ./Templates/Inherited/LinkerConfig.inc.php with content:

<?php        $parentTemplate = 'Base';   ?>


All files will be tried to be taken from Inherited, if not found - then from Base, then from project tree.

Theoretically You can chain as many templates as You want, but it can negatively impact performance.
