Using Layouts in FOF #548

Closed wilsonge closed 8 years ago

wilsonge commented 9 years ago

Since 3.2 in Joomla JLayouts have checked for component specific overrides https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/libraries/cms/layout/file.php#L365-L382

Specifically in my case I'm looking to use a common modal contents in the frontend and backend of my component - as was aiming to use a JLayout for that

However in FOF we never check for any component specific overrides - only the other 3 (Joomla's layouts directory, template overrides and a custom path).

Whilst I can configure a custom path to point to a component folder I was wondering if there was a reason why we don't check for components or whether it was just because the FOF layouts support predated this feature in Joomla

No specific reason, just that we implemented this feature before Joomla! 3.2. Can you do a PR to add this feature?

photodude commented 8 years ago

Any thoughts on this feature being implemented?

You mean the JLayouts helper in Blade implemented in FOF 3 for over a year? Or the generic helper implemented since FOF 2 about 3 years ago? :D
