if someone already mentioned this, my bad. At anyrate, this is
essentially already possible, though unsupported. Simply assign
template_dir using an array of paths (ie: instead of a single string,
an array of strings) and Smarty will search each path in-order until it
finds a matching template or fails. This way you get the basic override
functionality you are describing. Again, AFAIK it is not officially
supported but I have been using it for quite some time now and for
exactly the reasons you give.&#10;&#10;best regards.&#10;&#10;&#10;> >

that as per the manual.&#10;
