Includes Direcory

[slowhome <we...@theslowhome.com>]

I have several themes with small variations and I would like them to draw
upon a common set of includes (header, footer, sidebar, etc.) from a common
directory. I've created a folder called "includes" in the "themes" folder
but it doesn't seem to work.

   #includeTemplate($model.weblog "../includes/_test") 


Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Roller templates are not stored in a directory structure in the
database, so that will not work. Instead of adding new pages for
footers and headers, why not define macros.

I think this will work in 3.x: create the file below, put your
Velocity macros there and Roller will pick them up.

   WEB-INF/velocity/roller-custom.vm
