I wrote an action for that and enabled actions in the lm. I have
problems right now to make the select work but here is the lm snippet
which will replace the fallback resolver.
<match pattern="views/**">
<select type="exists">
<!-- File-based -->
<location src="{1}{project:theme-ext}" />
<act type="sourcetype" src="{1}.xml">
<!-- Sourcetype-based -->
<location
src="{project:theme-sourcetypeDir}{sourcetype}{project:theme-ext}" />
</act>
<act type="RecursiveDirectoryTraversalAction">
<parameter value="{1}" name="request"/>
<parameter value="{project:theme}" name="projectFallback"/>
<parameter value="{project:theme-ext}" name="projectExtension"/>
<parameter value="{project:content.xdocs}" name="projectDir"/>
<!-- Directory-based / Parent-directory based (recursively) -->
<location src="{uri}" />
</act>
<!-- Theme based -->
<location
src="{defaults:view-themes}/{project:theme}{project:theme-ext}" />
</select>
<!-- Application Default -->
<location
src="{defaults:view-themes}/{defaults:theme}{defaults:theme-ext}" />
</match>
Thanks to you and Ross for pointing out and finding this solution and
especially for clarifying the problematic. :)
As soon as the select in lm is working I can apply it.
