template or templates?

[s22-tech]

There are many lines in LiteCore like this:
app://frontend/templates/'.settings::get('template').'/partials/notices.inc.php')
that reference a templates folder, but there's only a template folder (singular) and no default template in lc_settings.

Which way is LC going with this? A single template folder or a templates folder where multiple templates can be placed?

Thank you for pointing this out. LiteCart will go with 'app://frontend/templates/'.settings::get('template').'/partials/notices.inc.php' and LiteCore will do 'app://frontend/template/partials/notices.inc.php'. Inconsistencies comes from side by side comparison and copying of lines from LiteCart v3 to LiteCore.

PR is welcome

Hmm... I really thought you were going to go with `templates` for both. How is that going to work, with LiteCore being the core of LiteCart, especially with add-ons that populate template folders? How will paths be written so they work with either platform?

LiteCore aims to be the naked core. not an identical copy that includes everything.

How is that going to work, with LiteCore being the core of LiteCart, especially with add-ons that populate template folders?

All addons will not be 100% compatible without some minor adjustment. What comes to templates I have been thinking if templates should be moved to vMod overrides rather than template folders in LiteCart. So they work similarily.

How will paths be written so they work with either platform?

As of now, do 'app://frontend/templates/'.settings::get('template').'/partials/notices.inc.php' in LiteCart and 'app://frontend/template/partials/notices.inc.php' in LiteCore. It's possible to add a path alias to vMod if this is a big issue.

I don't know about things like add-ons functioning differently across platforms. Maybe it's my ignorance of the under-pinnings of the system, but the 30,000 ft view is that you're probably opening yourself up to headaches down the road when you have to explain to everyone why their paid add-on isn't working. It seems to me that the closer both platforms are together, especially for things will directly be used by non-technical end-users, the better it will be, not only for you, but for everyone who writes add-ons, as well.
