Extension loader should look under any folder called *.Modules #2848

This would enable single-repositories for a set of extensions on local clones, for example MyCompany.Modules.

Unless someone beats me to it, I'm happy to implement this. Bertrand suggests looking into the CoreExtensionLoader. We will need to consider the build target that copies files from the modules folder.

So I am a newbie to Orchard but I did some hacking on this and was able to add Modules.CompanyA and Modules.CompanyB by hard coding them into the following 2 classes:

OrchardStarter.cs RazorViewEngineProvider.cs

Its just a hack as there are no wildcards to search for 'Modules.*'

Oh ya, I used 'Modules.' instead of '.Modules' so that when I do a directory listing in windows explorer, they all group together when sorted by name.

Cool. My goal is to spend some time on this over the weekend. Maybe we can make the convention configurable too so people who like Modules.* better can go with that. Will keep you updated.

Let's just support both.

Ya, that sounds good.

Orchard.Codegeneration will probably need an optional argument added for folder name. I'll probably go with orchard> codegen Module ModuleName /folder:Modules.YourModules

Probably just going to throw an error if the folder name is not in the format Modules.* or *.Modules. Alternatively, I could just automatically append .Modules, but I don't know if I like that.

Good point. Should be fairly easy to add.
