I sort of asked this question a while ago but now I'm clearer as to what the question actually is. How does dokuwiki detect the presence of a template in the <dokuwiki>/lib/tpl directory? The problem is that it *doesn't* detect a template if the template directory is a symbolic link. It's obviously not the same mechanism that's used for plugins because symbolic links in the <dokuwiki>/lib/plugins directory work OK. -- Chris Green -- DokuWiki mailing list - more info at http://www.dokuwiki.org/mailinglist
