CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi, I'd like to know if I can configure the custom templates directory via the civicrm.settings.php file? I'm not finding any documentation that explicitly says yes this is an option.   I develop locally and push to a live server, with different paths for custom templates, url, temporary files, etc. Then I sync back down to the local server for upgrades, testing, etc.  I've just been resetting these vi civicrm/admin/setting/path?reset=1 when I need to, which works fine of course.  It would be nice to just hard code it in the settings file if possible to save an extra step.  Thanks!

so, presumably

define( 'CIVICRM_TEMPLATE_COMPILE_DIR', '/home/lobo/public_html/drupal/sites/reallyinterestingtemplates/' );

But if you do a db copy from live I expect this won't override the contents of civicrm_domain

This is currently not an option

If u r interested in patching civicrm to make this an option, please ping us on irc and we can help u get started

We might want to think about changing these config setting via a drush interface, so folks can easily script a move
