 Description   

We usually separate modules based on their domain, e.g. one for all basic templates, one for the theme, one for the newsletter, one for providing an API to access some third-party-system and so on. Therefore resources may be located in more than a single resources directory.

I wondered why Magnolia just allows to specify a single magnolia.resources.dir as it's very interruptive to switch the directory whenever I change a module that contains templates. That's why I implemented a ResourceOrigin provider to allow multiple resource directories. The code is appended. Hopefully the code or the idea is of some use.

btw, it's a hell to write tests for this as long as all the default ResourceOrigin implementations are final.

Hello,

This ticket is now marked as closed due to one of the following reasons:

  • A long period of inactivity
  • Uses an old or Beta version of an application, module, or framework that we no longer support
  • The issue is no longer reproducible or has been fixed in later versions

If you are still facing a problem or consider this issue still relevant, please feel free to re-open the ticket and we will reach out to you.

Thank you,
